USPS tends to be extremely slow if you use the cheapest shipping option

i have found its MUCH worth it to go with the guaranteed 3 day or just roll with UPS ground which always seems to be faster for me

Best (and more expensive) option using USPS is Priority Mail. It's 3 days from coast to coast and normally 1 day to surrounding states.

I use fedex ground. usually can get to anywhere in the U.S. within 3-4 days and its not too expensive

Yeah parcel post FTL, but priority FTW, and first class for really small, light stuff is cheap AND fast.

Never had a problem with USPS when I didnt cheap out on shipping. Priority is ALWAYS fast for me.

Priority mail is usually 2x the cost of fedex and takes 2x as long //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I beg to differ with those who are hating on USPS as a courier.

I use Priority Service with Delivery Confirmation almost exclusively and thus far I've had zero issues. I pack to withstand a mild hurricane or moderately severe abuse by package handlers, though, so I'm sure that helps.

i agree their priority shipping is really good, I definantly don't mind chipping in the extra dollar for it. On the other hand though, their parcel post is god awful. I bought a mmats jugg from a guy about 3 months ago and paid for priority, and he cheaped out on me and used parcel which took 3 weeks to get to me from chicago.

Here's an example for y'all.

The trade I'm currently involved in with Ridinhi...

I shipped the amp going to him USPS Priority (LA to NC) on the 25th.

He got it in two days.

He sent the components coming to me, NC to LA, on the same day via FedEx.

I'm still waiting for them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
