Last Friday, we mailed three identical packages from New Jersey to Long Island, Boston, and Seattle via USPS Priority Mail. The Long Island package arrived the next day (Saturday), Boston on Sunday (surpising there was a Sunday delivery), and Seattle on Monday.

Of course, the other side of the coin happened a couple of months ago when it took 3-1/2 weeks for a package to get from NJ to IL. I started filling out online tracking forms at the beginning of the third week, and three days later the package magically appeared at its destination.

For me, the moral of the story is that the USPS is unpredictable.
