Yes, your mail is getting slower, America. The postmaster general's changes at the US Postal Service

are causing longer delivery times.

No, you aren't imaging slower delivery times for your first-class US Postal Service mail.

The USPS instituted longer delivery times on October 1 as part of the postmaster general's decade-long effort to cut costs at the agency.

Prior to October 1, the postal service said delivery for standard first class mail across the US should take no longer than three days, according to The Washington Post. Beginning this month, the USPS says standard mail delivery could take anywhere between two and five days.

Mail being delivered 280 miles or less typically made it to its destination in two days under the previous guidelines, while mail being delivered further within the US typically reached its destination within three days.

Drug plans, VA, etc., need to get meds delivered sooner, or pay a little extra for 2 day delivery.
