My sister sent me a package Dec 4th, it left NY and was stuck in Jersey until it was finally delivered in January. All the stuff inside was in a plastic bag in a mail carrier container. My mum mailed me a box after my sister, this one was insured, it made it to me late, but 2 days late is better than 4 plus weeks. I guess USPS want you to spend money to insure packages. Never again, UPS or FEDEX.
