I just had a pacakge from Microsoft that took 8 days to get to me and they are a 3 hour drive from my house.... This is startin' to piss me off, when ya need it its late, when ya don't need it in a hurry it shows up 2 days after its sent....

I guess I've been fortunate. The three packages I've sent over the past few weeks might have taken a day longer to arrive than what would be normally expected.

Almost all my packages coming to me USPS Priority are taking from 4-7 days

Very bad lately.

USPS usually uses commercial passenger flights for a lot of mail, but since the 9/11 disaster, no mail was allowed on passenger flights. Maybe that's been changed now, but it really SNAFU'd the system for a while. A lot of places are still playing catchup, lots of airports still getting back to normal service too. It's affecting everything and will take a while to get straight again.

i'm waiting for a $670 laptop that was sent by USPS priority on 9/19/01 (not you vwkess).

however, its from a great trader, so i'm not worried about getting ripped, its just an annoyance that USPS seems to be dragging its feet when I paid $25 for 2-3 day priority.

Just dropped a package off at the post office today.

The lady told me still no mail on airplanes. Everything on trucks.
The rates have gone up also.
She said it will add a few days to normal delivery time.
