[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1964308, member: 112"]Your comment of course is about it taking 3 days to only go 54 miles. Well, that's often to due to several things, one of them usually being the time it takes the mail to go from the local office, to a regional or district office, and then be sent on to it's destination, and sometimes going through another district office there before being put out for delivery. The point I'm getting at is that each post office has its own set of rules they have to follow depending on exactly where the original post office is. They all have to send letters and packages to another larger post office first and then distributed on to maybe another one. For example, when I lived in Salt Lake City if I mailed a letter to a destination that was only 3 blocks away from my home, or anywhere else within SLC, without fail it would take that letter 5 days to get there. But, if I took my outgoing mail to Park City, 50 miles away and where I worked, and mailed it there, without fail it would arrive at its destination in 2 days. Every single time. It's all because of the way internal logistics within the Post Office are set up. They have rules and they have to follow them.[/QUOTE]
