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?
Shape/size, non machinable.

I had a bill from my dentist right here in town that took two weeks to
get to me a couple year ago.
Yeah, well was it TRACKED? This was!

Main point is that two sendings, one Media, one First, the first left
a week before the media and arrived almost a week after!

10 oz on the first and 4# on the media, but it got better service.
