Shipment by media mail

[localshop]

What's the longest delivery time you've experienced on a package shipped by media mail? I've been waiting two weeks for one, and I'm starting to get a little nervous...

10 working days from Zip zone one (me/NY) to Zip zone 8 (CA).

But don't forget the long weekend.

Get the tracking number.

Always get a tracking number for $0.55.

I've seen media mail take as long as 3 weeks going coast to coast - usually the exception and not the rule. I would give it another week before getting worried.

I mailed an MGC 64 variant to realitytrip out in San Fran on 8/12/03 from Centreville, VA. It has yet to arrive...

I think I have two unbeatable records for this one

 

I have the record, I think for longest media mail package in the mail a total of 2 months a box of comics was returned to me after it was never picked up by the buyer at his main post office. The box was soft all over it was the shape of a bowling ball and the tape still held though the 150 comics inside took a serious beating.

 

I also have a combo record longest delivery for shortest trip. 42 days delivered for a 6 hour or less car drive. Myself and the buyer were surprised it showed as we were about to begin the insurance claim process.

 

 

P.S Localshop Media Mail packages being two weeks in the mail is normal sometimes the post office just likes to creep it in under that one month deadline.
