Basically first class and priority are the same class of service.

Ah, no, they're not. Not even close.

Leave it to the ignorant to single themselves out. You did good.

Really? Too much coffee today? If you are going to say they are not, not even close, perhaps instead of questioning my ignorance level, you could have accurately pointed our my error?

Where am I wrong? What I see is:

First class is in the grid as 1-3 days.
Priority mail is 1-3 days “on average”

Neither is guaranteed. You have to move up to “express mail” for the guarantee.

As I mentioned First Class is available for 13oz or less, while Priority is for 70 pounds or less.
