US people: is the hurricane Sandy still giving troubles with US post?

[Izrabeth]

As title!
I am waiting a non pony package from US, since are Christmas presents I am a bit worried to receive them in time.
I dealt with the seller previously and 100% sure to not worry about her, she shipped the 13th of November...calculating Italy customs it should takes a month so around next week but I am worried on possible troubles the US post is suffering from the sad passage of the hurricane.
Are things back to normality?
Thanks! ^_^

I am sure Sandy is still having somewhat of an impact on packages leaving the US.  How much I am not sure?

USPS posted an update on their page on December 5th saying:

USPS continues to monitor the effects of Hurricane Sandy and is currently in the recovery phase. Safety of our employees and restoring normal facility operating conditions remain a top priority. USPS will continue to keep mailers advised with updates on this page.

  Thank you Ponylady, I hope mine arrives in time so

I've had a few packages from the US to the UK arrive in their normal time frame (about two weeks)
I know for some reason shipping to Italy takes significantly longer.  If there are any delays at all it'll be European customs.

I'm sure they'll arrive safe in plenty of time

I've noticed that during the holiday season, packages take longer to move due to the high volume. So even outside of the Sandy region, packages may take longer in the US.
