I've been shipping some textbooks lately via Media Mail and am considering removing the option. It is soooooooooooo slow.
If the price increase is, as you say, even more incentive to drop it.
you consider 4-5 day average slow? Been shipping Media over 20 years, media mail at longest take 7 days and normally anywhere in immediate US is 4-5 days. Our buyers always use Media option (included in the price) never ever select priority option and no one, not one person has ever complained about delivery time.
I think Media Mail shipping time varies on where you ship out of, my P.O. has a lot of items that go into Media. However, if you're a location with low population your P.O. might not ship out right away. Just my take on it.
Ok, I'm in Wyoming, a state with the lowest number of people (less then million entire state) but my media mail packages deliver within 4-5 days usually. I moved here from NJ and PA, some most populated states and delivery for media was 4-5 days usually. It can take longer, longest is 7-9 days depending on day sent. Last year, during xmas, some media packages took 11 days, but guess what? All Priority packages took 6-15 days + during that time - for Priority - media moves through the system the same way but generally when packages get delayed it is usually because they are between facilities, sitting on a semi waiting to be unloaded. That can happen with any method. Further, I get packages incoming all the time from all over the US by suppliers where they are sent Media and they take 4-5 days to arrive on average, sometimes then take less, I had large media package deliver to me from Dallas, TX last week in 3 days -> 3 days - not common for media but it went super fast through the system.
The great truth is there isn't one
