<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24648746, member: 77639&quot;]In the late 50s, Harry Winston donated the Hope Diamond, one of the world’s most valuable, to the Smithsonian Institution.&nbsp; How did he send it to them? … registered mail!&nbsp; I’ve had registered mail hang for more than a week in one location.&nbsp; I’ve also had it complete a cross-country trip in 3 days.&nbsp;&nbsp; It moves at its own pace because of the security measures.&nbsp; I’m guessing delays have to do with qualified personnel or trucks not being available at some locations continually.&nbsp;&nbsp; Or the available qualified truck or container is filled and departs, and the extra packages have to wait for the next to arrive which might not be for days.</p><p><br /></p><p>When submitting registered packages at the PO, clerks will often offer to send it priority mail.&nbsp; You’ll pay more, and it won’t move a bit faster.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
