I know it's not guaranteed, but I have asked a few people and they all give me the same answer. You pay for 2-3 days, but get 5-8.
Is that twue?

same state can even be next day for me, all depends. but typically states in the same region I always get 2, and once or twice I have gotten a package in 3 days. Never been slower than that, and I choose to use priority quite a bit.

ive found 1st class to be almost as fast in many cases.
priority used to be a good deal..and sometimes it just makes sense.
but the PO's criteria for shipping expenses doesnt really make sense to me(and no, i dont care to learn)
who knows?

So if you so if you shipped something on Monday, it would typically be there Wednesday or Thursday with priority?

The employees at the local post office always tell people it ships in the same vehicles as the First Class mail, it just gets handled first.

I sent a Priority Mail package to Texas on Saturday. MapQuest says 3955.63 miles from here to there, but it's not there yet.

Priority mail gets delivered to the same state as I'm in next day... the surrounding region in 2 days, and across the country in 3 days.

First class is really up in the air...

Alaska.

I've always wanted to visit Alaska, but live there, I dunno.
I've had 25 years to become attuned to the variety of weather situations of East Texas, but the cold was hardly ever one of them.

it really is odd how much you remind me of my ex sometimes

Is that a nice way of saying I'm weird? :p

yes, actually :p

You have very similar senses of humor.

I do that sometimes.
