Recently, EasyGenie and many other companies have seen a sharp increase in delayed packages transiting through the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) network and private carriers such as United Parcel Service (UPS). Some USPS first class packages are taking more than two weeks to be delivered, and even standard Priority Mail packages are taking more than one week to certain addresses.  For this reason, we have the following recommendations for customers: Make sure your address is correct and complete. Assume USPS First Class Mail or Priority Mail estimates are 2x to 4x longer than stated on the shipping page.  Select USPS Priority Mail Express or UPS...

For genealogists preparing genealogy charts and worksheets to last 100 years or more, the proper writing implements are key. Besides pencils to write in basic names and dates, you need archival quality ink that won't damage the acid-free paper that we use for all EasyGenie charts and forms.  Last month we launched our basic archival-quality pen and pencil set with two pens (fine point and medium point, choice of black or blue), two sharpened pencils, and an eraser.
