It's probably has something to do w/ the price increase. I had to ship out 9 things today b/c my co-op stuff finally came. When I was being charged for flat rate priority I was like WTF??? Then the post woman was like, our prices went up on Monday, didn't you know? I had no idea, but hopefully this price increase will help the USPS with their financial trouble.

They are way slow with their updates over the weekend... But the shipments seem to be on time just the website is lagging

I beg to differ. I made two orders last week... Thursday before 2pm which, in the past, has put my goods in my mailbox by Saturday's 3pm delivery (using priority mail).

It's out for deliver today and will basically arrive at the same time as something that I ordered on Friday (a day later). Sucks because I paid priortiy shipping to get less than priority service:-(

Website seems to be funtioning again... which is how I was able to track this. Both packages should arrive today.

even being delivered today its within the "priority shipping" time frame. that is 2-3 days, first class is the same and parcel post is 2-8 days.

I count Thursday as a ship day since it actually left the vendor and is in the USPS's hands. Thursday, Friday, Sat is 3 days and typicall day that I usually get my items if ordered by Thrusday prior to 2pm. Today would put me at 5 days (well 4 really since Sunday is excluded). In other words, my package didn't arrive in the 3 days that I paid for it to.

I'm being a little .... about it but hey, my expecation was not met or exceeded going by my past experiences. JS!

Lol scottinboca! If you want to deal with the hassle and maybe it being sorted out it in a year or so's time, maybe. IDK.

Only thing I know for sure is that the smallest box is (or was don't know if it is any higher after yesterday) $5.95. And, if you have something that does not fit in an envelope or is not shipped safely in an envelope you must use the little box. Also noticed when shipping heavy envelopes for work (just paper documents) they always stamp it priority and it costs more than it used to a few years ago. That is all I know!

I was just at the post office today. The small box for flat rate priority cost $5.35 now and it was $5.15 I think before Monday.
