My order was begun at the onset of a hurricane/flood crisis. Why on
earth would I complain about the service when the entire state is
under water? There was a strong possibility that my order never made
it from place of origin to the USPS. I think it is a miracle that any
mail made it through. I'm happy that the people in N. Carolina are
beginning to get some services back.
