I mailed my entry on Apr.30,at 3:15 pm and it traveled to next facility by May 1, and it was suppose to reach destination by May 4 by 8 p.m., however my entry has sat here in Houston for seven days(Monday the 7th) before even starting it's travel there. As of today the 10th it is still in transition!!! This wonderful postal system.

Hi Frances, I'm sorry to read about the difficulty you had with your submission.  Our USPS is too busy providing same-day delivery of paper towels for Amazon to be worried about the regular mail.

 

While it is past the deadline I did reach out to the organizers on your behalf -- you never know.
