I shipped a package from Chicago to Baltimore last month. Based on tracking info, the USPS had it on a truck within hours. To Wichita. It made it through the distribution center there and back on a truck within another few hours, where it showed up in Washington DC 6 days later. And now I guess it's heading to Baltimore. Or at least I hope so.

My daughter sends books via media mail to a friend in suburban NYC. For basically pocket change, they get there in 3 days or so.
