USPS, I am done shipping with them, it will be Fedex from now on. I shipped cue Tuesday late afternoon Priority mail
which used to be 2–3-day delivery and it's still not there. I guess Priority don't mean anything anymore. It left Philly Sunday
which is 1 1/2-hour ride from me. I don't get it, they suck!

"used to be" is the key. They have made many statements saying those old time frames are no longer valid. Did they give you an estimated delivery time? Much the issue is with the reduction in their regional distribution sites (or whatever they call them) and there is a much smaller infrastructure.

Definitely not the same. Priority small flat box....Shipped Florida to Florida...took 2.5 weeks. And from Florida to Pa.. no idea if person received it as I have to heard from them. Shipment/delivery varies. The package will say DELIVERED even though it wasn't. Not reliable at all. And if package is lost or stolen getting a claim resolved is a project.

edit.... you said it left Sunday??
 
FedEX is also about 3 times the cost of USPS, unless you have a commercial account at your dayjob with a large discount.

Try UPS. Rates are in the middle of the 3 services, and delivery is about as good as FedEX.

If UPS is used consider shipping from Staples or Office Depot as the rates are fairly 'real time" not drastically marked up.... such as PakMail/UPS Store etc

Priority doesn't really mean anything, you have to use Express. If you had used express it would have probably been delivered on Thursday or Friday.

Since covid started Priority times have gotten long. No guarantee of date of arrival.

Sign up for an online service called
Pirateship. I won't go into details just look it up and see what you think I've been using it for a while save a lot of money.

UPS the post office FedEx you do everything right on your computer have it picked up or you can drop it off.

USPS is so much worse than it used to be. I shipped a package to South Carolina Priority Mail a couple of Mondays ago. The next Monday I shipped another package to SC via Priority Mail. They both arrived on the same day. USPS used to have the best prices and good service. Now their prices are much higher and the service is much worse. They lost a package coming to me a few months ago. It's just gone. Luckily for me it was something like binder rings to organize fly tying material. Something completely replaceable. With the cues some of you guys buy sell and trade, I'd be terrified of USPS currently.
 
If you were not paying attention two years ago Trump kneecapped the Postal Service in an attempt to prevent mail in ballots. What was a decent service is now pretty much worthless. It's one of the main reasons I stopped selling stuff on EBay. The price went way up and the service way down.
 
Bought GTF from Vinny, was sent Priority Mail during Covid.

Was it 21, or 22 days until
It arrived.


P-Mail is no longer 2-3 days.

Oh yeah, worthless. Give me a break. One less eBayer standing in line with their thirty packages of shit. What a loss.
 
Well personally would never send anything of value UPS, or FEDX. Their claim process, is designed to wear you down, and not pay for anything lost, destroyed, or damaged.

What ever happens oit is shipper fault, you are shipper.
 
USPS was never set up for packages. FedEx and UPS on the other hand were from day one. USPS has been very slow to transition once the internet shopping shift happened 20 years ago, under ANY political party.

FedEx and UPS are worse, but good luck🤞
 
If it’s a super high value item Brinks is the best way to ship anything. I used to use them for watch’s back in the day.
