I know everybody likes to rag on the post office for being super slow, etc. I am going to give them a “good job”. May never happen again but who knows.

A customer sent me a medium size flat rate priority mail box. Mailed it late Saturday morning (October 21st) from central Indiana.

It was at my door today (October 23rd) about noon. I’m in North Idaho.

That is really fast service - in my opinion!!!

Agreed. They always get a flat rate box to the "Interior" of Alaska in about 3 days from MN. It's also 3 days to my Brother in So Cal. They have the flat rate box thing down. Probably shouldn't have said that...Now they'll lose the next one I send. So far, they've been 100%, though.

When they are good they are good when they are bad it’s a living nightmare. LOL

Nancy, I mailed you a check on April 28th, 2022, for a couple of ermine and it still hasn't ever surfaced. My service isn't quit as fast as yours.lol
I really like our local post office and the people that work there.

USPS has been hit or miss for me. Rifle stocks (with tracking) have been fast, the checks for them have taken over two weeks.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Things are normally good with them but back in January I mailed the electric bill and they never did receive it and never came back to the bank then back in August i mailed another bill out for something else and it never showed up either.we have a new mail carrier don't know if it's him or the system.iam paying everything electronically if possible between those getting lost and stamps going up again I think it's the way to go.

Considering the shear volume of mail and packages they have to go through, especially after 2020, I'd say they do a pretty good job.

I agree in rural Illinois they are super good and the new mail carrier ain’t bad looking either a bonus

Just received three letters mailed to me from 60 miles away. The central Nebraska system must be slower than most. .
Only took 9 days to arrive. I am just off the original Pony Express trail from the 1800s. That would have taken less than a day.

It's pretty sad when we are surprised they actually do what they promise to do.

Bought 5 frozen green otter from LA early this year. Figured flat rate would be fine over 3 days. Took 5 days was

Fleshed them and salted them as soon as I got them. Was extremely lucky as I did not loose any. One had real small slip on the end of one leg.

Had a couple times where raw skulls took 5 and7 days. Those were pretty messy.

Never trust em. Just ship and hope.
