Priority

Guys
What's the longest you have waited for a priority shipment ? I usually have the package within 4 days ? Waiting on one now and I'm getting bad vibes.

That's interesting because with the weekend every package I have had sent from anywhere in the US has hit my door on Monday. Especially if they were sent on Friday.
Bows sent from Craig at Howard Hill, Toelke, etc sent on Friday home on Monday.

Did the sender purchase tracking or delivery confirmation? At least with those you can track where it is...or isn't.

Good luck on the delivery.

Some times things can happen,I've had great luck with Priority mail and stuff usally gets to me in 2-3 days.But one time I mailed a money order in a Priority envolope with tracking and it took 14 days until it arrived.The envolope looked like it got caught in one of their machines and tore up.All the tracking number told me it was still and one of their centers.But he did finally recieve it.The thing that tore me up was he mailed the bow the same day I mailed the money order and I got the bow in two days.I kept in contact with him and everything worked out fine in the end.It happens some times!

Being up here in Alaska, "Priority" mail doesn't necessarily mean it's a priority. I have waited for 2-3 weeks sometimes.  Other times its within a week.  Talked with the Postmaster here and basically when there is room on the truck to get it here then it gets loaded.

Can say they have not lost a package.

USPS still the best deal in town as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah Priority is sometimes hit and miss. I sent a Priority letter 700 miles afrom my home and it took 7 days. I sent a letter regular delivery 1500 miles and the guy had it in two days. The fine print says 3-4 days but it is not guaranteed 3-4 days. Be patient.

Just had a priority mail package lost in transit for 4 days...had tracking #, showed nothing after receipt at the PO.

5 days later it landed on the person's doorstep.

I wouldnt get concerned for 7 days....the post office isnt scanning confirmation until it reaches the destination post office either...so you really cant track anything until it reaches the destination................. last bow i sent on a thursday and it arrived on the following wed.

The pony express runs a little slow out of Wyoming.  The clerks always tell me three days when I ship Priority, but then folks get it 4 or 5 days later.

Nine days and I was getting nervous, but it came. No tracking number either and not real good communication, but it all worked out fine. Hard to be patient I know, but you don't have any choice. Keep us posted, it'll get there.
