Snail is right. On 7/1 I sent a first class letter to the Boston area from
Seattle. The seller contacted me Monday asking if I had sent the M.O. It
arrived today 7/11. 10 days. I could have driven there in half the time.

After the Littleton Coins thread, I thought I should share an experience
with the Postal Service.
I sent a Registered parcel to Idaho on June 23. On July 6 tracking
status
still reported only initial acceptance. I inquired at the office where I
mailed it, and was told that delays of at least a week were occurring at
the
Los Angeles postal processing hub at LAX, because they were
"overwhelmed."
As it happens, the parcel was delivered the following day. It took 13
calendar days to go about 1000 miles - the Pony Express was faster than
that.
I don't know what is going on at the Post Office, or why their tracking
service is not functioning as intended. If list readers can shed
additional
light on this, I would be glad to have the information.

if it doesn't blow up in a week, it's safe.
Great. Now there's going to be a run on eight-day fuses...
Seriously, though, some places just seem to take longer to get mail
into and out of than others. About a year ago, I did a trade with
someone here on the NG (Iain, maybe?), and he was starting to get
concerned because his package didn't get here in the time it takes
stuff to get to most other places. I wasn't a bit worried because I
just know it's slower in and out of here.
take care,
Scott
carriers and clerks, it's a wonder we get mail at all.
