FWIW as sample size of one, 2/3/2021 roasted and packed (~7 lbs) from suburban Boston area (George Howell Roasters in Acton, MA) to NW Illinois took six days. Initial shipping was UPS and finished up with USPS (SurePost option per George Howell roasters). This is similar to pre-pandemic ship times from same roaster.

Funny that this thread just popped up for me. I ordered from two roasters, both shipped USPS:
1) Shipped on 2/9 from San Francisco and got to me today 2/11 in NJ.
2) Shipped from Salt Lake City on 2/8 and just left Indianapolis at 1:57am this morning 2/11. Who knows when I'll get that one!

EDIT: Got it 2/12. So I guess shipping for both was pretty good.

This had nothing to do with Lusso, my coffee was roasted and shipped the next day. Usually takes 2-3 days from Lusso to my house in SE Wisconsin. Last time was weeks. I like to order from Klatch and the shipping times were similar to Lusso if not a day longer.

Of those of you ordering coffees that are shipped USPS, are the shipping times back to normal? Better? Should I wait a little longer before I order again?

I had issues in December and January with "priority mail" anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks for my coffee. I ordered from Lusso over the weekend, shipped Monday and arrived Wednesday. The shipment from Redbird shipped Monday and is "scheduled" to arrive Friday (yesterday it was scheduled for Thursday).

FYI, I'm in Maryland.
