Yeah the Post Office is the killer sometimes of my Prime Cuts service. Jim can tell you a few times by now I've had to request of a new disc. When I first started getting the service, it wouldn't get here until Thursday or Friday of the next week. Now that I've b**ched enough to the postmaster, knock on wood, it's been coming just about every Monday. But usually if it does not show up on Monday I'm lucky if I have it before Friday. You can tell it's been through a lot when that happens, the cardboard is bent and beat up, almost makes me wonder how the disc isn't cracked. I'm considered a "rural route" as well, so since rural residents get the crap end of everything, especially things like mail service, broadband internet, and cable TV, I guess it's to be expected.
But Prime Cuts is a great service, you can't blame them for the post.
