[QUOTE="TheCoinGeezer, post: 1380173, member: 34700"]I usually save up my orders from the Mint until I have around $400 or $500 worth of stuff and that always gets upgraded to 2 Day Air UPS. Used to be UPS promised delivery by 10:30AM but now it's "end of day" which, presumably, could be 11:59PM! ;) Today's parcel got here a little after 1PM and the UPS driver delivered it to my neighbor downstairs - good thing she's honest! On smaller shipments from the Mint, I've gotten the combo Fedex-USPS delivery, which doesn't seem to get here any faster than straight USPS deliveries take. Be that as it may, my personal point of view is that any packages sent by any government agency (the Mint included) should use USPS, not a private delivery service. I believe that it makes more economic sense to shuffle government money around between accounts than to pay a private carrier.[/QUOTE]
