Default usps, gotta love em...wait

Just wondering how long everyone has waiting for a package from usps. Mostly people who have received them from across the country. 9 days seems a bit long.

I only have ever had to wait 9 days for things coming from Canada or Alaska/Hawaii. Although, are you counting from payment date, or actual shipping date?

I usually average a 10 days when I have things coming to me from USPS. One reason I refuse to shop at online stores that use USPS. It once took Actionvillage more than 12 days to send me something from Illinois. (AV rant saved for some other time.) That, and I've had several packages destroyed by them.

Seems really strange since I live in the center of the country...

USPS first class blows big time. Priority shipping isn't too bad though. It always gets here on time.

I ordered a hood and light for my fish tank from Petsmart two and a half weeks ago yesterday - it was in stock (at least they said it was). According to the USPS tracking system, I SHOULD get it today. We'll see.

Yeah - I'm not a big fan.

USPS Parcel post sucks, it always takes forever when somebody has sent something to me via parcel post. First Class and Priority have never given me trouble no matter where it has been sent from.
