Dubious as I am of DeJoy, I must report this:
 
every month I mail two checks out on the 1st
one is to a local charity (in Seattle, WA)
one is to an international charity (in Washington, DC)
in March 2024, the local check cleared on the 7th and the
international check cleared on the 11th
in August 2024, they both cleared on the 8th
 
So I would say that there has been some improvement recently.

USPS said in a statement issued on August 22 that it is holding a
pre-filing conference to discuss "plans to improve mail processing and
transportation" across the country. While some customers will see
improved delivery times—specifically those that live within 50 miles of
its largest processing facilities, others who live more rurally won't be
so lucky.

"Depending on location, time and distance, expected time to deliver will
increase for some ZIP code pairs," the release reads. Exactly how many
zip codes could be affected is not reported. Newsweek has contacted the
USPS for clarification via email.
