Thank you Patriot777.
Basically first class and priority are the same class of service.
First class however, is not distance sensitive, one stamp is good to send your mail next door, or from Florida to Alaska. The example pricing sheet goes up to 13 ounces.
Priority mail is zoned, the further away... the more you pay. The example pricing starts at one pound, and one pound is the minimum for “Priority”.
Yes, many times they are, but not 100% as they get further down the line. If short handed, priority goes and first class waits. doesn’t happen much at my level but you have to wonder with all the cutting of clerk hours in our area how much it happens in the distribution centers.
When I visit my post office there is only one counter and they "process" ALL packages at that counter.
If there is something going on behind the walls could you explain it better. Your post is rather vague as to how the "processing" should be different.
Nobody can possibly be this stupid or ignorant.
“Priority” mail, unlike it’s predecessor “parcel post” (on which Priority pricing was originally based) has an approximate delivery time of two days. That was and is an effort by the USPS to compete with UPS and FedEx expedited delivery.
There’s no guarantee of two days and they say that explicitly. First class can routinely take a week. The USPS makes no guarantee at all on first class.
If first class items happen to go onto the same flight or truck as Priority because there’s room to do it, that’s a good thing.
Get it? A good thing. Someone is getting expedited performance they didn’t expect.
And, no, you can’t ship first class and expect Priority delivery because some moron on an internet chat board said so.
As for the post office in general, and union hacks like you, we need to get rid of it and you entirely, it should all be done privately. It can’t happen soon enough. “Priority” notwithstanding.
