I have had packages take a couple of weeks going from FL to NE. Its pretty hit or miss on how long it takes though.

How long has it been?

he hasnt shipped yet, im just trying to see if i should go ahead and pay more and have him fedex or next day it to me instead. Need this pretty fast, got something that needs to go out and i need this before i can send it.

Should probably just take a couple days..

probably is what bothers me. lol.

seems anytime i need something fast, carriers want to drag feet, if i dont need it right away, i get it the next day.

just use usps priority mail and have it in 2-3 days max //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Media mail is the cheapest shipping you can get...no time guarantee and it better be media related as the post office routinely checks packages to see if they follow guidelines.

it is media, its a computer disc. Hell priority is the same cost as fedex ground in most cases, and i get free tracking and insurance. I never use USPS anymore, just not worth it unless im next daying a envelope.

Have him send it priority, should get there in a couple days.

I never use media mail, even if it is media...just use priority.

If you are in a hurry I would highly recommend going another route.
