Yeah, I like things slow and easy too.

I use USPS everyday to ship first class and priority packages for my business. It is the cheapest option for light weight shipping. But the postal service is extremely frustrating. They just raised the price on shipping like 3 days before they announced they would stop letter mail on Saturdays, but the post offices will still be open and packages will still be delivered. Seems silly.

I had a package of shaving soaps just happen to "get lost" 3 days before Christmas, and their customer service just gives you the run around until you finally just give up and chalk it up as a loss. They didn't even refund the shipping. That is just one of many packages I have lost, but what can you do.

I am amazed the USPS has made it as long as it has, but you can't keep running in the Red year after year.

Is it definite that there is no more delivery confirmation available with priority mail ? That doesn't make any sense to me at all. It ain't like it is free.

Is still DC,Free on all Priority mailings,But no more tag to fill out,The tracking Number is on the reciept.

The question is when you ship a razor should you answer yes to?
Anything fragile, liquid, perishable, or potentially hazardous?
They have very specific instruction about shipping sharp instrument, and some by country's.

There could be something on the receipt, I didn't think to look and check for it. I was told there is no more DC on Priority Mail. It has been my experience that sometimes answers from PO employees (or I should say this guy in particular...) don't always contain the full story.

I remember twice-a-day delivery when I was a little shaver...technology got better, but the whole system got worse..if only it had been used for good instead of evil.

Trust me it works,small flat rate box $5.80 anywhere Conus with tracking,used it 6 times today.

Yup. The price went up but delivery confirmation is part of the service now, so it's actually cheaper.
