It had about the same distance to go, but they had to mail out an awful lot of them. I'm guessing they batched them for delivery by zip code because my neighbors got them the same day I did.

That is why people should get the ballot filled out and back into the mail, we are talking one week, if a person waits until the week before Nov3, their ballots can arrive late.

I just don’t understand why anyone would let a mail in ballot sit around in this election.

Particularly for the states with late mailing. Immediate receipt and return mailing could be cutting it close

Mine - in California - typically takes 4-6 days to reach me. I've had one go missing once: I contacted the county registrar after 2 weeks and was able to get a replacement.

Check your local election laws about replacements or provisional voting: rules and requirements vary a lot.

USPS informed delivery tells me that the ballot will arrive today.

A phone call to the County Board of Elections told me exactly how to track the ballot. She also advised how to get a new ballot if for some reason they do not receive it through the mail. She also told me that their mail has been running pretty good...only slightly late.
