I order about one purchase per week from eBay. Most of the time, it is “free”shipping. Occasionally, I have to pay $3-4. All items are shipped with USPS. You get tracking on all items and they usually show up within a week. My two cents.
AND-— USPS is now saying that ANY CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE OF THEIR MAJOR SORTING CITIES WILL HAVE AT LEAST ONE EXTRA DAY ADDED TO THEIR MAIL DELIVERY.
I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHICH CITIES THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT-—BUT I WOULD GUESS THAT AVAST AMOUNT OF USA REAL ESTATE IS GOING TO BE IMPACTED BY THOSE “EXTRA DAYS OF DELAY” IN DELIVERY.
