Post Office for the win!

Sent out a package in the afternoon on 5/18.

Package shows it "arrived at unit" in NJ on 5/21.



That's under 72 hours for REGISTERED mail.



Way to go USPS!

(too bad it won't be picked up until Monday image )





Looking at tracking, it went from my post office into the main Seattle facility on the same day, out from Seattle that night (all on 5/18), arrived in NY at closing on 5/20, then into the unit in NJ bright and early on 5/21.



Hope the return is as quick image

    Registered traffic going the other way was fast too. A package sent from Michigan on May 17th arrived at it's destination in California today (21st).

    I dropped your name when I shipped it. That's probably why.



    I said, "Lakesammman asked if it could get there quickly....as a favor to him"....guess it worked image

    That's pretty darn good. A month ago I paid extra for Registered + Priority....... It took 10 days from NJ to PCGS. Lesson: Don't bother paying the extra for Priority.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Correct...don't pay extra as, Registered, by definition, is its own beast (more secure and has special handling requirements which negate priority).



    I only used priority because of the flat rate box.

    That is fast.... I have used Registered, and while there was never an inordinate shipping time, it took, on average, 8 days... one got there in six days.... Cheers, RickO

    Over 13 ounces, it automatically goes to priority rates [not priority service] so depending on weight, it's smart to use flat rate.

    The sun shine on a dogs backside every once in a while.



    Registered Mail usually takes a week, Priority rate or not, to go across half of the country for me...at least it gets there.
