Hopefully my Biden 'swag' gets here before November!

The order was placed on the 3rd. First I was told it was shipped, but I just received an update that says there is a status change, and it has only been "partially shipped". Not exactly sure what that means except that it likely has yet to leave the facility.

So now it's two items I'm (im)patiently waiting for - my Biden stuff and my CBD that was shipped on the same day and up until last Thursday the shipping info said it was arriving 'on time'. Then it also changed to 'arrived late but still in route', somewhere between Oregon and Michigan.

Other recent postal experience: I mailed my nephew a card, back in February, and it took over 3 weeks to arrive. I mailed him another one a few weeks ago, on a Friday, and he received it the following Monday.

thing.

So you will get them in different shipments.

3. Just found another link in the email, with more info.

Partially shipped means that it took 7 days for them to create a shipping label, but it is created and awaiting USPS pick up. So, I'll re-set my 'waiting' clock for that order. (I've never been someone with an abundance of patience, so I'm in a drastic behavioral change challenge, right now.)

The company where I order my CBD said there could be up to a 12 day delay on orders being received. Their old shipping time was 3 days. Hopefully it will arrive by the end of the week.

Normally I'd just go to their local campaign headquarters when it opens, but I don't think that will be an option, this year

4. I held off on ordering a yard sign until he announces his VP, but now I realize that was a mistake

I would gladly pay for one if I could pick it up from the local campaign headquarters, but who knows if there will even be any where you can stop by, this time.
