I will have to look at the one I have left and see if it has the old or new label.

The containers need to go into a plastic bag with the new codes or
whatever. They will send you the new bags if you tell them how many
containers you have.

Which oil analysis lab? I recently got notice from Blackstone Labs
that the
post office changed the classification or something that was on their
return packaging and I needed new envelopes to send samples in. Some
post
offices were holding the samples for months due to this issue.

The current (hopefully soon to be gone) postmaster general told us a
month
ago that the service was going to slow down.

Basically USPS sucks.  Sent an oil sample in about a month ago.
Tracking
number had it moving then when it arrived in destination city, it has
been stuck on arrived at facility since.  I guess I should have kept
enough oil to send in a 2nd sample should the first have been lost.
Monday sent a priority mail envelope that was supposed to arrive by
Thursday. Once again tracking info shows it arrived at destination
facility, and now says departed facility in Chicago where it is
supposed
to be delivered, but now just says arriving late, in transit.  Since it
departed the facility in Chicago on the 8th, and it is being delivered
to a PO box in Chicago, sounds like they lost it. Ordered a new
ignition
switch for the 96 E300 off ebay, was shipping right away with tracking
showing it was supposed to be delivered by 9pm Friday.  Yesterday
tracking showed it was in Georgia but still supposed to be delivered
Friday.  Tracking shows in arrived at facility in GA on the 7th, does
not show to have departed but as I said, as of yesterday still showed
Friday delivery.  Now it just says in transit, delivery date unknown.

I am not sure I have ever had it this bad with USPS with 3 in a row
deliveries.
