Well, UPS has an excuse for late delivery in their standard list that I’ve never seen before (and hope never to see again): [Civil unrest.](https://imgur.com/a/yBdj1B7) And, just incidentally, another package going to the same address and passing through the same sorting center on the same day was delivered right on time that day. ---

I’m on my third try with a package. First was marked shipped, then ghosted. Second made it to the local jump, then vanished in a wormhole. Third try on the way.
