Good job, U.S. Postal Service!

Shipped a coin on Thursday from Arizona to New Jersey by Priority mail.

It arrived Saturday morning. 2 day cross county service a week before Christmas is remarkable.

Postal service gets many knocks here and often deservedly so, but mostly they do an exemplary job.

They're kicking butt. I sent a coin first class and they delivered it yesterday (Sunday).

Not here. Had an express package sent on Monday 12/15 guaranteed to deliver by 3pm on 12/16. Was delivered 1pm on 12/17.
Best part is the tracking information on 12/17 showed it was scheduled for delivery on 12/18 but still showed guaranteed for 12/16 delivery.

Not here either. I'm in NJ and a few coins shipped to me first class from the midwest and CA finally made it here in 7 to 8 days. Priority is good but first class you can forget. Usually
from CA it's a 3 day trip, 4 at the most with first class. I guess during the holiday it becomes second class. My postman told me there's a huge push for them to deliver Amazon packages everywhere as fast as possible. Apparently USPS is counting on Amazon as their bread & butter and want to keep a good relationship with them. Maybe save old Amazon boxes and ship coins in them?

I started a thread the other day about a wayward registered package.

While I knocked the usps in that thread, for that package specifically, overall they do a great job. Even as I was complaining, the people hearing my complaints were very understand and pleasant to deal with.

Ordered a bunch of misc stuff, not xmas gifts so didnt care when they got here. USPS has been in overdrive, even with cheap shipping things are getting here quick! Interested to see how an ebay win fares, its coming registered from Mexico.

I read an article this morning that the USPS will process and deliver over 15 billion letters and packages during the holiday season. I think we can cut them some slack if packages take an extra day or two to arrive.

First class has been going two to three days everywhere in the US for me, with few exceptions. Pretty amazing considering the volume if you have seen pictures of their and other company (FedEx) processing plants.

Yep, to the USPS.

I received a priority sig confirm package @ 430p yesterday on Sunday. Was surprised.

Even better, last Thurs., the USPS corrected my zip code mistake on a package I sent to a buyer. Instead of "4" for the last digit I put a "1", package was undeliverable as addressed according to tracking, overnight I watched the package move across town from post office to post office and was delivered to the buyer the next day.

So, to the USPS.

+1, don't forget to tip your regular carrier, they are stressed out lately and deserve a thank you.

I got a 2 day priority today, came overnight (mailed Saturday).

But for some reason the dealers that owe money say the check is in the mail and the mail is slow…….

If Express does not meet the deadline at least the sender can get a refund. Had to do that once this year.

Registered mail from AL to CA. Five days including a weekend. Wow.
