My PO switched over systems a couple months back as well. They got all new computers, equipment, the whole nine yards. I just can't quite grasp why that would screw up shipping so badly. Packages still have to go from point A to point B. They aren't changing routes. Most of the tracking I've entered doesn't even work. Packages aren't being updated each stop they make. Text updates have them stuck at checkpoints for a week and all of a sudden they are on your doorstep without ever being updated. I don't know. Hope it's over soon. I always ship 2 day priority as do most of the people I've been getting cards from and it's been taking on average well over a week to get mine in.
