Rating a Signed Sealed Delivered this low is quite unusual for me. The reason-- this episode of the franchise is not a complete story, unless you consider only the personal lives of the Postables.
The "lost" letter gets the short end of the deal in this episode and it isn't adequately resolved. I wonder if perhaps the show runners intended this to be effectively a two parter, or did they realize after fan response that they needed to finish the story more satisfactorily.
Almost every episode of SSD brings tears to my eyes and this one had the potential for that. But not a one unless it was tears of disappointment or those based on knowledge of the sequel which I happen to have seen first.
The combined stories are slightly long for one two hour movie, but it doesn't seem to me that it needs two. Either way, this episode leaves me greatly disappointed.
PS after instalment The Vows We have Made: I updated my rating because this installment is a perfect set-up, perhaps even a necessary one, for The Vows We Have Made.
