[Elecraft] OT: USPS mailing

[George Thornton]

I am one of Rose's satisfied customers.

I do need to report an unfavorable experience with USPS.  

I mailed a simple envelope on a Friday and sent it priority mail.  The letter was going from Seattle to a town in central Colorado.

The letter did not get there until the following Thursday.  Although I paid close to $10 to expedite the letter I fail to see how I gained any expedition at all.  Simple first class mail would have been just as fast.

Please note this comment has nothing to do with Rose or her business.  The package I got from her arrived timely.

I've been making Elecraft cases and covers for eleven years.  All of the hundreds I've made have been sent via USPS Priority Mail.
To date, not a single one has gone astray … a remarkable record.
I live "in the country" and have no mail delivery, so all of my USPS business is transacted in town at the Post Office.

I purchase task-specific sizes of cartons from U-Line. usually 50 at a time.  Cover orders are sent in padded envelopes, again purchased specifically from U-Line for the task.

The Post Office provides a delivery date on each Priority Mail receipt, and these … so far … have proved highly accurate.  Priority mail will reach anywhere in the US within a maximum of three days.
An exception … an order to Turkey took -five- days! (:-)

I will -not- use any other service.  Fed-Ex is an awful organization, IMO.
