Has anyone experienced slow Priority Mail deliveries lately? Last few weeks I sold and purchased few items here on FM and eBay, and half of the packages that I shipped or received were delayed (over 4 business days for delivery).

Cheers,
Dan

Have you checked the arrival time USPS map?

I would inquire at you local USPS office.

I believe Priority Express is the only guaranteed refundable method of shipping.

I have been using Priority Mail for over a decade. For example, I shipped two packages from Boulder, CO to Chicago and Minneapolis. I shipped the packages Monday morning and one arrived Friday and the other one Saturday. That is 5-6 business days. Both UPS and FedEx would deliver in 3 days.

And what does USPS say?
I have used Priority for longer. Yes a day or so longer..but 5-6 days?
You need to question your local office.

Now I say this in jest so PLEASE don't take it personal..This is NOT directed towards you.....I am making a slight joke here...Could it be the local "medical" laws now in place?

USPS is consistently inconsistent. I've had priority packages to and from here in CO to both coasts in recent months taking from 1 to 8+ days. Since USPS does not guarantee the priority service there's no recourse on delays like there is with Fedex or UPS. USPS even "misplaced" one I sent to another FM member several months ago. It magically appeared after being missing for over 30 days. No explanation.

I guess I won't use USPS as my shipping method anymore. USPS 2-3 day delivery is a BS. More than half of my packages take 5-7 days for delivery with USPS Priority Mail.
