Note - the four packages shipped to OH using GA all went to same address. The three that made it there in 2 days were all GA Cubic pricing. The fourth package was 24 inches long, went as GA as it was over the 22 inch limit which caused a $4 surcharge and was in the local PO distribution center early on day 3 but didn’t go out until day 4 for delivery.

Note - the MN package was held up a day in MN due to weather during transit.

Areas that tend to be slower delivery for us are Southern CA, Georgia and rural areas even if they are zone 2, 3 or 4 and relatively close to us.

Interestingly, major cities in OR, WA, NY (New England states) and HI are normally delivered in 2 days from us even though they are zone 6, 7 and 8 from us. The service type (either FCP or PM) has not mattered with this group.

Where as @Roxy saw slow delivery with sending on Tuesday, we saw this with our orders going out on Wednesday July 11th. Strong thunderstorms in our area and/or the Dallas area often cause this to happen as the airline travel gets disrupted and, since USPS mail hitches rides on the airlines, this always adds a day on to the delivery time for us.
