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.

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?
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.

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,
<< <i>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.

That was last year their expecting to be busier this year. Keep on trucking Guys & Gals of the USPS.

+1, don't forget to tip your regular carrier, they are stressed out lately and deserve a thank you.
But for some reason the dealers that owe money say the check is in the mail and the mail is slow…….
