For several years, I sent certified mail across town every other week. I saw mails go from 2 days to 7-10, and sometimes 14 after the recent post office changes.

Turns out that mail going cross-town would need to go 40 miles over to San Jose to be sorted, because they dismantled a perfectly working mechanical sorter as part of their "improvements" in 2020.
