    Priority has no impact on the speed of registered mail. Registered mail is always registered mail speed they just make you send it priority when the box itself doesn't qualify for first class.

    Of course it did. Again, it's the number of hops not the distance. From Florida to California they will fly it, thus severely reducing the number of hops. Plus your package is likely going from an urban area to another urban area, which again reduces the number of hops.

    If you are going from rural to rural, from areas not close to airports, and/or distances that are close enough that the package will go by truck and not by plane, you will absolutely hit 2 weeks+.

    I also dislike how they both use registered for return packages unless you have a shipping account. It's almost always slower coming back from them then going to them which I assume is from their local post offices especially when talking about NGC. The amount of volume they have to process from them every day usually results in your package just sitting locally for a couple days before they get to get to it

    True. But ngc is the same in reverse and that takes 10-14 days. However the batboy just brought up a good point.

    The funny thing is that no decent writer would use "enhance" in the above sentence when "improve," for example, does the job more accurately. "Improve" implies fundamental change while "enhance" implies incremental or superficial change. We "enhance" our vocabulary by learning a few new words every day while we "improve" our comprehension through constant reading. A city can "enhance" its highways with landscaping but must "improve" them through rebuilding. Or, another way, you can "enhance" the flow of traffic—an incremental change, through "improving" the infrastructure—a fundamental change.

    And to "harness" something means to ready it for action—the opposite of what you seem to be saying (I can't really tell). We harness horses and nuclear energy to use them, not constrain them.

    So maybe the one whose communication skills need improving...
