How many business days is USPS?

[musicinpink]

I am just wondering how many business days it will be. Is it the standard 3-5 days? Thanks for your help.

I live in Philadelphia, and when I place orders to be shipped by USPS it normally takes 4-5 days to get here.

also, if you've ever ordered anything from USPS before you should know that they rarely update their tracking info. I've had packages delivered to me and the tracking info still says that it was just accepted.

The last time I had my order shipped from Volcano via USPS, it took 5 business days to NC.

take me 4 days to get USPS orders here in Michigan.

A lot of really has to do with your state and local sorting facilities. The smaller the place is the longer it will take or the further you are out in the middle of no where, you are looking at the end of the time frame. the closer you are to a major hub the faster you will get it.

I live in PA. I live close to Baltimore. About 45 minutes away actually. Philli isn't that far from me. I guess I'll either get it Friday, Saturday or possibly Monday.

Thanks for the time frames! I'm glad I don't live in the middle of no where.

Pink,

I placed my order yesterday, but opted for the 2 day shipping. Couple that with Volcano's amazingly fast packing/shipping process, and I should have it on my door by 3 pm tomorrow...in my opinion, it's $8 bucks well spent! Plus, with FedEx you *kinda* get hassle-free guaranteed delivery. With the USPS, you have bureaucratic red-tape and nonsense to go through just to figure out where your stuff is. I've fought with the USPS for a package that was registered, certified, insured, and had delivery confirmation...and they still managed to F that up. It took 3 weeks for them to track the package down. I'll go Fedex every time.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I've never had a bad experience with USPS before.

I got my package today.

USPS is slower and their tracking system sucks, but they usually get it there. However, when they screw up it is such a pain. They lost a certified letter of mine once.

I live in WV, and every USPS order I've made arrives exactly 3 days after it leaves HI.
