I sent 5 boxes out the same day. Some as slow as it can go, another priority. The one slow one got there before the priority (same general area of the US). So I guess there's no rhyme or reason, just which truck it's on.

I am lucky to have a UPS acct. with work. I ship my quilts out to be quilted so I can be sure to track it and make sure it's insured.

Come to think of it- dd hasn't told me her box arrived. Need to call...

UPS is GREAT - tracking every step of the way. I figure anything over 2 pounds, or with any kind of value., UPS is cheaper and better than the PO.

I send an insurance payment July l that has not arrived yet. Who knows?

UPS is not good if you live in the country. I live on a ranch and UPS dropped my meds over the gate and the wild hogs got it.

I live 215 miles from my folks. It took 7 days for them to get a card from me.....nope, can't trust the PO!

In the future, pay by paypal and you won't have this situation...

Sent pillow cases to our grandsons - all at the same time from the same post office window - and they arrived on different days.

I sent my sister a birthday card. Mailed it from Oregon to San Diego. 3 weeks went by and she never received it. I got the card by about a week later marked "undeliverable" "no such address". Now...my sister has lived in the same house for 13 years! Go figure!

Sometimes all you can do is hope !! Recently 2 boxes went out to same address at same time, thru major carrier 1 was a week later in arriving?? Went thru 2 different hubs who knows why, but they did get it and that was the main thing!
Saw somthing sad thought about when I say this post, not long ago on the news, a carrier truck had caught fire, Just sat there and cringed at all the mess that was going to make!

The mail here has been terrible lately. I am constantly getting mail that isn't mine. And slow doesn't begin to describe it!
