Do you think there is a huge difference in delivery time?

I’ve been noticing most my packages come in the same amount of days, whether its first class or priority.

I think First Class is the best option, cheaper and takes just about the same amount of time.  Get the tracking with it and your all good.

What do you spicers think?

It all depends on how far it is. Some people can get a priority order in 1 day. Sometimes USPS fucks up. My last dealing with pebz,he sent two orders out. One on the first day, another on the second, both priority. The first came in two days, the second in like 4. I could name numerous other times from other vendors, so dont think im naming pebz, hes the best. Its just usps sometimes. I personally like to get priority i just like it i guess. I didnt realize you could get a DCN with first class.

Most vendors i run across first class is the set option. Hatter is one of the exceptions but i always pay the dollar something in his shipping options to "upgrade".

I like the free, and very good, priority boxes and shipping supplies.  We use them all the time.  Click n ship!

First class is noticeably slower where I live, so I tend to go for Priority every time. You can blame HR6407, aka the "Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act" of 2006 for that. It’s bleeding the postal service completely dry.

It really makes no difference since they ship within the same delivery time.  Man I swear, USPS can be extremely slow as fuck sometimes.  I’ve always gotten First Class Mail within 3 days and the same goes for Priority Mail.

For me first class most generally comes in 3 days, but ive had it take seven more than once. Priority is most generally 2 days, 4 at most, but that only happens when my order gets sent to the wrong side of the country first. Express always comes 2 days where i live, no more no less.

For me, Express has always been one day except for my recent venture that’s still going on. AMeanOne this is why im flipping out! I’ve never failed with express, so u have to understand i shelled 17 more dollars and thing still not even sent. Never had this problem. Technically its still one day if it gets here the day after its shipped out. Anything else has been 2 or 3 days and never more unless it fell on a Sunday, which happened once. Pebs has gotten both  orders out one day and i got them the next! Hes been the best, but i’ve never been able to contact a vendor so directly. So that helps alot.

Just keep in mind that even express shipping is only as quick as the vendor sends it. I usually just go with the cheapest option and even from CA to SC most packages take 5 days max. I feel ur frustration bro after paying 17 bux for quick ship n still having to wait. :weedpass:

Yep, I was a little pissed, just because I chose express to get the fucker out because I know he has such large orders that I thought express would make mine priority. I just confused the whole thing, but actually it did send. I just got my tracking number super late this time. It was like 1230am when i got it lol.

Naw, they don’t have the same delivery time. Priority is 2-3 days, First Class is 3-5. Around here they’ve really started slacking, so Priority means they let it sit for 2 days, scramble to move it on the 3rd and deliver it a day late on the 4th. First Class can take up to a week. It’s really not the same at all heh.
