Priority or Media poll

[chrisfuccione]

If you had the chance to pay $5 for Priority, or $3 for Media rate for 6 tpbs what one would you choose? CHRIS

That's an easy one, since whoever is offering $5 for Priority shipping on SIX trades is losing crazy money.

For any CGC book or other book of worth, I demand Priority Mail, or I don't buy, no matter what the extra cost.

Did we really need a poll for this? priority!!!

I would pay 2 extra bucks for priority because

 

(1) I would get it sooner.

 

(2) Less chance of damage being in the PO system for less time (I have also heard they are not as careful with media packages).

Funny you should say that. I received an ASM # 3 today by Priority Mail (box) with a huge freaking gaping hole in the side. Luckily, the seller did a nice job of wrapping up the book.

What is the average time to get stuff shipped by priorety. It's going from Texas to Mass? CHRIS

[uclapeterg]

2-3 days

I'm the minority, but I'd choose media mail. With TPBs I'm not as concerned with condition, and I don't mind waiting an extra 2 days to get the package.

Media Mail has it's uses. I can mail 10 comics in a box with lots of padding and delivery confirmation for around $3.00. I live in New England and if the buyer is on the East coast it doesn't make much difference in delivery time. For reading comics it makes a lot of sense, to me at least.

 

At heavy mail traffic times like April 15 and Christmas it's a different story. Media rate takes a back seat to the higher priced methods and can take a very long time to get delivered.
