The USPS FRB dilly-dally poll

Advertised is 2-3 days and that's usually what I see for most stuff. I've been shipping stuff to my parents in Hawaii priority mail and it takes about 5 days, but I guess that's understandable.

The thing I notice that does cause the package to take an extra day sometimes is if I let the mailman pick the package up as opposed to dropping it off at the post office. If I do that I see it head up from my small town's post office to Fort Worth's main sorting facility the same day. If the mailman picks it up sometimes it takes an extra day to reach the main sorting facility, thus adding a day on.
