Mail weirdness?

Rob from ThreadBear emailed me the other day to be sure my package had reached me - he said he had had some complaints about the mails being slow.

Now I'm realizing, a couple things I ordered a while back haven't come. And no magazines have shown up in my mailbox recently (usually the last week of the month starts the magazine blizzard). All the mail I've got since the yarn I ordered from ThreadBear (which came Friday) is either bills or junk mail. I hope there isn't some kind of mail "slow-down" in the works (to protest who-knows-what) or that I have had some of my mail stolen.

if I don't see that box from Carodan Farm by the end of next week, I'm e-mailing them. This is starting to worry me - something my mom says she sent me has also possibly gone astray.

as someone who lives alone, the mail is very important to me. One of my tangible links with the world. I hope it's not gone wonky.

Has anyone else noticed mail problems lately?
