So l win this auction a couple weeks back on GB. Seller wants check or USPSMO only. l go to Post Office, buy MO. Send CERTIFIED with tracking number. Sept 30- Leaves my Post Office. Oct 4-Arrives Augusta Ga Dist Center. 4 days from my post office to Augusta Ga PO. Distance is eleven miles. Oct 12 my Payment arrives @ Atlanta Dist Ctr. lts 140 miles from Aug to Atl. Took EIGHT days. Payment is destined for Rapid City SD. At this rate of 12miles a day Seller should get USPSMO by VALENTINES DAY?🙄

Due to COVID, the USPS has decided to reinstate the Pony Express. Unfortunately, they are using the original ponies.
no problem sold item in july buyer sent in a priority envelope (lost) woohoo it came yesterday buyer said it cost him 13.00 to stop payment and get refund
Anyone remember the days before "Tracking" was invented? The P.O., along with all of the shipping companies got away with scoring in the wrong end zone!
I would send in all of the required box tops to get a free Tony Tiger cereal bowl. By the time it arrived I was into chasing girls and faster bicycles, so the bowl lost all of its meaning. The cat did enjoy it though.
End game for a delayed background check ?
'Send CERTIFIED with tracking number.'
I've been 'out of the loop' (retired from USPS) for several years but back then, certified did not generate a 'tracking profile' and was intermingled with normal first class mail. So the question is: Did you send the piece certified or something else?
Just a hint: anytime you add a requirement for a mailpiece to be scanned or otherwise individually handled quite often this slows the delivery time.
Likely l had my SC CWP before you moved to South Carolina
LMAO.... SC conceal wasn't even in effect .or Class 3 in SC... When I arrived in 1991.
What a croc!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
The USPS is all over the place with mail delivery. We use Priority mail a lot for our business. If we send an envelope across the state it will take a week.
Across the country and it gets there in two days.
USPS, priority is the way to go.
Sometimes their tracking efforts are lacking.
From Clearwater SC to Atl Ga in 13 days. l think it may be out of Ga by now
Mo. l sent it CERTIFIED. No return/signed receipt required. What's more baffling l sent a USPSMO to Big Stevens MT in
August CERTIFIED. Quite a bit further WEST. Took but 2 days TOTAL.😲
Certified finally arrived at 1:24pm, Rapid City, SD. Total travel time-20days!
The 0riginal Pony Express is AND was FASTER😲
Send the information on day sent to seller and also day sent and day received to senator and congress person. If enough people do this then USPS will change for the better.
PS Registered mail is more expensive but has a assigned person responsible for it each step of the way. If a USPS employee messes up they get caught and will suffer for it.
