Suggest removing USPS as shipping option

Postby spu3 » Tue May 01, 2012 2:51 pm

I finally learned my lesson. I figured USPS Priority mail would be just as good as UPS. All my order had to do was boogie up the NY Thruway from NYC to Saratoga Springs. Well, I was wrong. :(

Order placed 4-26-2012
Order shipped 4-27-2012
I am insanely curious if I will see my order tomorrow? :shock:

UPS is a really good option if you need the order at a specific time/date with specific tracking. the postal service is a lower-cost option but it can take some time (sometimes it's very fast, other times there can be delays). we're next to a hub so our orders ship immediately, but the postal service, first class and even priority can take some time. we're know for our fast shipping, even with USPS but sometimes they have delays.

thanks,
adafruit support, phil

Don't get me wrong - I have had excellent super fast shipping from Adafruit using UPS!

It was my fault that I had visions of grandeur and being familiar with the short distance I fooled myself into thinking that the USPS pony could get up to Saratoga in 2 days. Must have thrown a shoe ... :?:
