USPS Standard Post touts 2-8 day average shipping time.
I had a package I sent out back on May 13, shows expected delivery of May 18...and it's not moved from a regional USPS sort facility since May 14.
I put in a call and they said it can take longer, perhaps 2 weeks ... and I'm talking going from North Carolina to Kentucky, not halfway across the US. So, I put in a case and then call them today. Now the story is that it's not unusual to take up to 30 days for Standard Post, and that it only gets added to a truck if room after filling with all the other 'real mail', 'priority/express/etc'.
So...put in a case to have looked into and ... oh, by the way, it can take 2 wks to 90 days to get results of that.
I'll not use Standard Post again. If I can't send First Class, or Priority...it will go FedEx or UPS. Way too unreliable to deal with using Standard Post again.
