Re: The USPS FRB dilly-dally poll
I can't really choose a poll option because it depends. I regularly get packages from FL and PA delivered to me in 2 days flat. Anything sent to me Priority from less than 200 miles away from me takes 5-7 days. So the closer the sender is to me the longer it takes for me to receive it. I've also had some get sidetracked for weeks and delivered anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months late.

Re: The USPS FRB dilly-dally poll
For clarification -- are you talking about shipping or receiving?
You said that you receive stuff at work (when you can); what is the travel time for these packages? When you ship do you drop the packages off at the Post Office? What is the pickup schedule (usually listed on the dropbox) where you drop them off? My local Post Offices allow me to drop my FRB packages off at the loading dock when they are open. Otherwise I load them into the package receiving station inside the PO, which they say they pick up about every 90 minutes.

Re: The USPS FRB dilly-dally poll
From when I used to ship stuff for a living, I found that the further folks were from a PO hub, the more the days increased.
If I use what I know to order stuff, I can get Priority Mail stuff next day. I'm close to a hub and just need to order from outfits that are close to a hub, or are close to my hub. If I'm two regional PO's away from a hub, it adds a day or two. That's gotten better, it used to be two days for sure. If the seller is two regionals away from a hub, it's going to be a five day shipment no matter how you slice it. Hub to Hub shipment is seldom more than 24 hours, if ever. So from Johnstown PA to San Diego, CA, that's a day, period. Then you have to add each end. Where the seller lives in respect to the nearest hub and where the buyer live in respect to the closest hub compound the issue. Be thankful you don't live in Texas, Brad. Most addresses there are 7 days minimum from anywhere in the US. If you constantly get longer than normal service, it's either because your mailman hates you or you're too far from a hub, geographically. I.E., move. It's your fault cause of where you live. Remember when we used to have to rip the square box out of the magazine, fill it out, put a check in the envelope, and wait 4 to 6 weeks for ANYTHING we ordered? Quit your b1tchin, you spoiled punk.
