It was shipped the same day. From Knoxville it went to guam,then all over Guam then to Texas and now it's in Hawaii. It was supposed to go from Knoxville to Oregon I'm thinking their new system is not working!

I'm going to try them next time I have something to send. I sent a friend who lives 15 miles from our local post office a book. It took 5 days for him to get it. The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Address different then the one they have on file equals an extra fee. There are others too that makes USPS the cheapest. I tried UPS for a month when I had my archery business. Bill was twice as high from all the extra fees they don't tell you about.
