From what I understand, USPS Priority Mail should take 3 days anywhere in the U.S. guaranteed. Has anyone ever experienced delays receiving Priority Mail longer than 3 days? The reason I'm asking, is it's been 7 days and nothing yet. I'm growing a little concerned
I've contacted both PO's and they said wait till 3/15. I will definitely file a complaint over this one. Thanks.

I can't stand them but I don't want to use FedEx or UPS. Their too expensive. I can't wait till they privatize. They are already in the hole. Lets hope it keeps going.

I have been using priority mail for a few years and usually it's no more than 4 days. I don't think there's any guarantee of delivery time except with express mail.

Check the postmark when you get it....probably laid on the sender's kitchen table for 5 of those 7 days.

Express Mail offers a money back guarantee, but that in itself still does not guarantee that it will be delivered when committed. I recently had a package take 5 days on EMS Overnight. Most of my Priority Mail lately is taking four to seven days, and First Class mail is getting to me within two weeks.

If your mail is going through the Denver sorting facility, expect quite a large delay. I had a Priority Mail package checked into that facility on a Monday morning and not leave until that Thursday night. And that was a Priority Mail package.

Has the D/C been updated yet? I once sent a large amount of banknotes with Priority, and it never even showed up on the D/C! :(

If you mean delivery confirmation, this guy sent this to me priority mail only. No extra services. That's why I am thinking I'm in trouble. I'm afraid that I'll never see it. It is very upsetting to me. I'll give it a couple more days though.

There is no guaranteed delivery time with Priority Mail. Only Express Mail offers that. I once had an Express Mail package that was delivered late and I did indeed get a refund on the full amount of the shipping.

How did you pay? If you paid by PayPal, you will be covered for the full purchase price (including shipping) should the package become "lost".
