Reply # 11 is similar to what I have experienced.

I can mail two (2) packages at 5:30 p.m.; one to an address 250 miles away where they can get it the next day, & the other one to an address 9 miles away & it takes four (4) to five (5) days.

After asking our local postmistress why, she responded that the first package goes through a small town post office where everybody works efficiently ; the second package goes through a large metropolitan post office where everybody just draws a salary ...... then it has to go through several other postal routes to get across the Mississippi River.

Appears FedEx is now working with the U. S. Post Office for providing final destination of mail ..... this routing is usually less expensive but takes longer than having FedEx drop packages off at their final destination.

We are really blessed to have several sincere Model A vendors who try to place items in the mail as quickly as possible.
