I run mine thru Paypal. Items I ship are mosty what I sold thru Ebay and come with a cheaper confirmation than mailing at the Post Office.

did your package ever arrive?
It has been about 7 years since I retired from the Post Office. Priority mail is not guaranteed to get there in any amount of time, but as we always said "It usually gets there within 3 days"
Also, something you probably haven't thought of.....sometimes the mail is mis-delivered and the person that incorrectly received the package could be sitting on it....or using it.
I do hope you have gotten it by now though.

If it had been sent 1st Class Mail, there would be no way to track it. I ship Priority Mail & it is scanned from my doorstep when picked up.

I appreciate that the P.O. moves a ton of mail all the time but paying for a priority serv. that doesn't happen just stinks.

the complaints we see here represent a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of less than 1 percent of the millions of speedy and successful transactions executed by the USPS every single day.
the next time you see a postal worker, offer a smile, a handshake, and a thank you. they don't get either of those nearly as often as they should.
