Which is faster...a less than 16 oz. package going Priority Mail or First Class?

[Anonymous]

hmmm. Anyone ever put this to the test? Is priority's extra cost on such a package worth the extra cost?

PS ~ Are avatars down again?

[nobody*s_perfect]

Yes, avatars and other features are currently not functioning.

First Class packages can take a day or two longer but IMHO the upgrade to Priority is rarely worth the extra cost.

In my experience, the delivery times are usually about the same, but Priority packages tend to get "stuck" in the system less often than first class. Priority packages usually go straight through, but once in a great while my first class packages end up delayed and the tracking stops for a while. Less of an issue now then 2 years ago oddly enough. YMMV.
