13 days behind you, I really didn't want to double my cost to go expedited but I just hate the uncertainty of not having tracking there and back, plus hearing that they don't even confirm processing for weeks with normal processing. In the end I paid up.
My USPS has been great (used them three times in the last few years) but they always default to super-expensive 1-day priority mail. I'm sure I could just ask for slower service but it seems strange they never ask... I don't think they get a sales bonus do they?
