The most recent USPS Priority package I sent went from California to New Jersey, in just a scosh under 48 hours from the moment the package was checked in at the El Cerrito post office until it arrived at the destination PO in Edison, NJ, and was actually delivered to the recipient less than 4 hours later. The cost for shipping the package was $10.35, less expensive than UPS, and faster than FedEx and UPS for a similar cost. I love USPS Priority Mail ... ;-))
