Record new LOW for the mints new delivery system...

Dispatched from the mint delivery site on 6/12.
Expected arrivial at BMC Dallas 6/14.
Delivered 6/26......
That is what you get when you mail stuff PARCEL POST!
The mint used to charge postage of $3.95 and the shipments came Priority Mail or Fed Ex.
Now they charge $4.95.
They are now sent PARCEL POST!
The Post Office treats Parcel Post as JUNK MAIL and has no obligation for timely delivery.
The cost for the difference between Parcel Post and Priority Mail is almost nill when your talking about a quantity order.
Why are they doing this?

    What was it that you ordered that they sent parcel post? The last couple of items I bought came registered mail.
