What is a good nylon/ploy string manufacturer? Do you feel a nylon/ploy mix has a better feel than 100% ploy? I want to try some nylon kitty string and see how that is. I saw a brand called zipline And they looked like nice strings too.
Whatâs your favorite string?

Out of YYSL strings, my favourite is probably the Venom.
However, my current favourite go-to string is Original Throws String in their normal thickness.
I wish I had money to spend upwards of 100 on yo-yos lol.
My best mail day everâŚlong awaited Anti-Yoâs & powder coated grail, and some others that were stuck in the mail for a bit.

Isnât that the truth? Even domestically. I have a throw that shipped from a couple states over on May 23. âIn transitâ since it left the post office of origin that same day.

US postal service is slowly falling apart as the USPSâ federal funding dries up. I have a number of parcels that have indeterminate delivery times. This is not an uncommon occurrence these days.

How do you like it?
Obviously I donât âlikeâ that you have a number of packages in limbo. But to recognize that you are on point - itâs been rare that a package has arrived on time (per USPS estimates) over the last two-plus months, and the last few weeks have been especially bad.

My gf and I both feel that we would rather be given overly conservative delivery estimates, which they are able to meet (or exceed), than have our expectations set unrealistically by fast delivery estimates, which they can rarely achieve.
In short, we wish the USPS would adopt the old Disney philosophy of âUnder Promise and Over Deliverâ.

100% agreed. I donât know why they havenât really adjusted that. I laugh when I read the COVID-19 alert on the tracking page. Indicates that there are slightly expanded delivery timeframes for some services. Yeah, okay. Why not just be real?

Of particular annoyance are the times when tracking shows a parcel âOut for Deliveryâ, but then it never makes it to my mailbox. Instead, that evening the status changes to âDelivery date unknownâ, at which point itâs anybodyâs guess when it will be delivered.
I believe this situation is a case of the parcel being on the mail truck, but the mail carrier simply does not have enough timeâeven in a 12-hour shiftâto deliver everything in their truck on that day. It is well known that the USPS is woefully under-staffed, even when there is no pandemic paralyzing our economic infrastructure.

Maybe; but like you of all people have never tried to beat the deadline??? I know your a pro $$$$$
They probably had to lay off the programmer who knows how to adjust the delivery estimate algorithm.
