The reason for the Jan. 8th date is that the Lady I talked to in Washington from the Postal Service advised me not to send any packages (mailing tubes) until this date. She said they should have all of the Christmas mail out of the way by then. Seems like they have a lot bigger problem than they are letting on to. I have a package coming to me that was mailed on 12-3-2020 coming from southern Ohio and it just now (according to the tracking) got out of Granville PA. with no expected delivery date. Go figure.
Any way your awards will still be processed the same day that I receive them and I will let you know via email or a phone call. I will have all certificates done the same day as I get your application but wont mail them until Jan 8th. Thanks for your patience.
