HA, bet part of the US supply chain issues involves the US Postal Service-------- or I could be wrong.

The custom length, light weight push rods I purchased for my Harley Davidson is enjoying a nice journey.
Purchased them middle of January from a specialized company I've used before (https://www.pushrods.net) one state down. With manufacturing complete, the set shipped via priority mail on the 16th for a Feb 18 -19th delivery.

--------> Yep, got to love it; Redmond, OR > Portland, OR > Seattle, WA > Salt Lake City, UT > Boise, ID > Seattle, WA > Tacoma, WA > ???????????

Good thing I'm in no hurry and clinging to hope they will not be found damaged upon final arrival (they will be checked for zero runout for sure).

No point, just expressing an observation.

Cool. Next time I am around, when I wanna go to Seattle from Portland, should I also take a detour through Utah first? I mean, I haven't been there yet.
Or, maybe, Columbia River has swollen and all bridges are downed. You can't quite expect these to come by Airmail, can You?

Maybe they got routed through Ohio. In which case they might be kinda melted.

Funny hearing statesiders complaining about the mail. Most vendors still don’t know what or where Guam is! We can’t even get JBL products delivered from Amazon, Walmart or any other online site. Sorry codguy your frustrations with the USPS are valid I didn’t mean to crap on your post. Hope you get your push rods soon.

It might be nice enough weather to ride by the time you get them.
