Time to give the U.S. Postal Service a kudo: on December 23 I placed a
last-minute bid on some Nikon camera equipment on ebay, and I was the successful
bidder. I mailed (regular First Class) a check to the seller that afternoon.
He received my check on the 26th, and mailed (Priority Mail) the camera
equipment to me that day. I received the package this morning (Dec. 28).
That's less than five days, including a holiday, for total mail time. Must be a
new record for the USPS.
