USPS inconsistency

I sent a package to Maryland recently... Well, actually, NOT recently. I sent it almost 2 months ago... It got there 3 days ago. The package, which wasn't large, about the size of a med flat rate box took almost 2 months to get there.
Good rule of thumb for shipping ANYTHING USPS.... DO NOT USE PARCEL POST.
I was disappointing a brother, and it went out with some other stuff. I thought to myself, "yeah, parcel post will be fine, might take a couple extra days to get there." Really didn't think anything of it. Note to self: Make a conscious effort to send priority, or first class if you can. I felt like a schmuck, and he probably felt like I was trying to screw him. I was, of course in contact with him through the time, and was ready to send replacement items, but he had great class and patience with me and USPS.
