Another slow delivery USPS 2day priority

Purchased from Stacks Bowers Feb4 delivered 2-day priority Feb 15. No signature required just stuffed in the mail box. Seems crazy for the value but with their volume and private insurance I'm sure its a business decision based on the calculated risk.

I had thought it may have been lost...11 days

Patience was worth it. I'm ok with the grade, the L in the ribbon is a little weak, definitely original skin p45cac

It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    I would of been sweating if I was the seller, must of been mis- sent. I have had mis sent packages before, but still arrived in 6 days

    2 Day Priority, Huh? There is absolutely no excuse for that to happen. Even if it was mis-handled as regular First Class, 3 to 4 days on the outside.

    Nice coin, though.

    I double checked the label and it's correct. We did have a snow storm last Friday (the day I thought it would arrive) but we got 10 inches. I even had a leftover $15 gift card from x-mas tips not passed out to give the carrier for getting out and trudging through the snow.

    Maybe next time.

    You're a nice guy, Freddie. What happened was not his/her fault.

    All the postal carriers I've ever known have all been hard-working IMO!

    When was the package mailed?

    Check the tracking history to see when it entered the system, the stops along the way to delivery. You'll get the hang point at a glance.

    I've had more than one package take a side trip to Guam before arriving here on Maui.

    Yep, 10 days seems long for what is advertised and priced as a 'premium' service. Ask for a refund of postage.

    The Post Office just delivered today, my submission of coins that our hosts sent Priority to me on February 1, and that was only after a trace was put on by my post office and PCGS.

    Most 2-day priority packages I have sent and received take longer than 2 days. The whole thing is a farce. 10 days is not out of the ordinary. I Iove getting this message on the ole tracking history:

    "The package is delayed and will not be delivered by the expected delivery date. An updated delivery date will be provided when available. "

    Golly, that is the tracking message right now on a package heading to me, just the norm. I have no love for the USPS with their alleged 2 day priority. Not.
