Now that''s fast. U.S. Registered Mail

[Ellen]

I have read posts on here about how long it''s taken some peoples items to arrive by USPS registered, and how slow it is.

I sent an item that left my PO on Tuesday at 5:30 PM (close to St. Louis, MO) and arrived in Sarasota, FL Friday morning at 10:05 AM. Not bad at all.

I''ve also sent something to WF (twice) that took the same amount of time, but I thought maybe I just got lucky with them. I wonder why some peoples stuff takes so much longer??

The PO seems to get such a bad rap sometimes, thought I''d post the positive.

I agree. I prefer to send through US mail than any other method.

But lump, others have posted about sending by the same method, and having it take as long as 2 weeks. That''s what I don''t get...

I sent my package to WF Wednesday 10:30 am and it got there sometime on Monday. Not too bad I suppose too bad I''m reallllyy impatient to get my upgrade!

I wonder if theirs have to cross the Rockies? I have no idea where I heard this or if it''s true, but supposedly it''s harder and takes longer if the shipment goes by truck through the Rocky Mountains. I think maybe I heard that when I was working with a California furniture company to ship something to the midwest. ??? Can''t remember.

That''s great! It''s nice that someone got a package delivered quickly. Mine all seem to take several weeks.

I think all of my registered mail shipments took 3-5 days.

Hmm, I don''t know. I assumed it all went by air...

I think I''ll ask the next time I''m there.
