Default Re: USPS Slow?

It may be that they are just backed up because of the bad weather that was in the Northern part of the Country

I live in the NorthEast, and last week the mail was the slowest I ever experienced, but the weather was nice

Now this week is the second week of good weather and all my mail has been back to being delivered on schedule

So im thinking that even though the weather was good last week they were making up for packages that were delayed from the precious weeks

But it seems they have caught up , hopefully it keeps on track

Hopefully it catches up everywhere , I'm in the Northeast US so we had a bad winter, but this week has been great, and all my orders have been right on, everything I shipped Monday all arrived Today

It hasn't been like this for a couple months so hopefully they were just back logged and now are caught up

Here is a feedback I received today from one order:

ARRIVE SO FAST THE POSTMAN HAD FLAMES COMING OUT THE BACK OF HIS SHOES.! A1+

I do all free shipping, and in my listings I always say first class shipping but will ship Priority

That way eBays estimates adds a day or two to the estimates

Put the bar low that way anything over makes you look great and when there is delays , they are not as bad because you don't advertise priority and the free shipping really does help

Orders that took 9 days that I sent priority didn't even get any complaints

When buyers pay they are more on top of shipping times

Spot on advice.

It also stops prematurely opened cases 'wer iz my item I ordered it 12 minites ago!'
