we could not determine why the First-Class Mail piece took 20 days to

not know why there was a delay. The normal service standard for
First-Class Mail from Pennsylvania to Washington would be
approximately 5 days. Again, we apologize that we are unable to
provide a reason for this delay."

But of course, they'll still charge full rate and surcharges ... !


Five days normal delivery time seems long for first class mail. But what
surcharges are you talking about?

I had a bill from my dentist right here in town that took two weeks to
get to me a couple year ago.
