Efficiency in Shipping

[MrPrena]

I looked into Pirate Ship, but damned if I'm going to buy a special printer and special paper to print labels to ship a few boxes of brass per year.

I use a regular printer to print out shipping labels from usps, fedex, pirate ship, pitney from Ebay.
I ship about 10 items per day.

FedEx managed to get 200lbs of ammonium nitrate and aluminum powder across the country in less than a week. Not bad.

There is definitely some kind of weird twilight zone thing that happens with shipping.

Package coming priority mail from Pennsylvania, three weeks.

Package coming regular mail from Florida, three days.

Package coming from Europe (by DHL), on the porch in three days.

Package going to Arizona, fourteen days.

Package coming from Utah, twelve days.

I don?t even bother trying to track anything because I feel the recent tracking info is about as reliable as any of the Covid data.

Never got a tracking number. Hope it was something nice

Your package is currently on time, according to the tracking website.

Interesting result.
Someone sent me a check from Colorado Springs via Priority Mail - Tracking history to the Denver Distribution Center.
About a week there and one update that said it would be late, but was still on its way, but showing still at the Denver Distribution Center.
Received a plain envelope with the check in it and a typed piece of paper that said it was delivered to the wrong mailbox and since it was a check, they thought I would want it.
The envelope had no return address and only the code for the Denver Distribution Center on the Postmark - 802 (just 3 numbers)
No signature on the letter. Nothing else. Tracking history shows it still at the Denver Distribution Center.
Damn happy to get the check!

We were down to 70 or 80lb for the range and a friend stepped up for the restock.

It is still a out 2-3 day delay on usps 1st class and media mail.
Priority has about 1-2 days delay depends on where.
