Priority Mail vs First Class Mail

[wholesale-importers]

Since priority mail prices are going up is anyone thinking of going to just first class mail if you offer free shipping?

Most sellers are already using First Class instead of Priority for eligible items.

I have always used first class mail, unless the item does not qualify.

You can't use first class mail for any item that weights more than 16 ounces or goes outside of the allowed dimensions. 

I have no idea why anyone would choose to use priority for something that qualifies for first class. The expense difference is substantial.

Priority mail moves faster  when there slammed as this x ma's was a night mare .

2 to 3 days( most depends on how far away) mine are delivered. First class mail.

Seems the same as priority for me.  As said , first class sets when there busy..

For me priority not moving faster this holiday season. In the past it often did. 

1st class and media mail moved slowly. Priority often stuck for a week or more here then there. Experiences varied but the larger the priority package was than then it more likely didnt move for days or weeks

I've always used First Class for items that qualify for that class of service.

When I see the First Class Package option. 

Max weight 15.9oz  max dimension 22x18x15 I take it. But I was told that weight is not NOT first class. I wonder why they don't know there company says it is and its right on the label.
