Pebble Creek here. We got mail last week midweek, maybe it was Thursday. Then again on Sunday, but alas it was the neighbor's mail. So I'm going on a week with no mail delivery. And it would be unheard of that I get no mail for a week, like nothing at all. So it has to be non-delivery.
We used to have an outstanding rural carrier, drove a white jeep. She was very consistent with our delivery and rarely made any mistakes. She retired I guess sometime after covid and it's been complete chaos ever since. Completely irregular delivery and I get the poor guy's mail from the street over about half the time.
I've never witnessed the complete collapse of a public service like this before.
