Someone said they emailed CCBill accounting and was told it was because the post office is closing so many branches.
Only problem with that story is the post office is a hub and spoke system and mail flows through the big processing centers (most are staying open or consolidating, like Fort Lauderdale folding into Miami but just about same number of people, just less real estate). It's not like mail moves from small post office to small post office like the old days.
Having been in the direct mail industry I've been in the Baltimore bulk mail unit and most of the sorting is done by OCR that can read the shittiest handwriting. It goes through the machine and then spits out to trays that eventually make it to the closest processing center and then it goes to the small post office that may now be closed. At most with all of the shut down centers you are looking at a day delay.
