Default yeh, the last few times i've dealt with, sending and receiving, it's gotten there in...

2 days. i always ship usps priority. it's just as quick, if not quicker when factoring in ups' and fedex's stupid "all day" policy, and they are way cheaper! sorry about your wait

Default USPS has some pretty low budget delivery methods...

I ordered something from a store in Columbus. I got free shipping on the item, and it was in stock and shipped inside 48 hours. It took TWO WEEKS to get from Columbus OH to Philly PA. When I called the store to ask where my package went, they informed me that it was shipped by the least expensive shipping method possible! *sigh*

Default priority isn't the cheapest, that's 'first class'. go figure...

when i shipped this very small item on a monday, she goes "do you want first class or priority?" priority was no later than thursday, but maybe tomorow. first class was like next monday or something, but was only like 2 bucks cheaper. i don't get it, i think maybe *SHE* was driving it there or something...lol.

Default No, there are cheaper methods than first class...

That's usually the bare minimum most people use, but if you tell them you want the CHEAPEST method of shipping, they have a few other methods that will take FOREVER! :-(
