Response: I do not think it is irresponsible to expect the mail to run on time. I was actually traveling when these packages were mailed. This mail was dropped into a blue mail box in Austin, Texas with a daily pick up time listed. For it to be postmarked four days later is really not under my control. Bully for you for mailing out when partners are assigned, but I have a full time job and at times it takes me to other cities. I gathered up materials while on the road and insured I sent out by the deadline. I have no control over the actions of the USPS.
