Since my famiy and I are on a base overseas (hubby is in the Navy), we have an FPO address and have to use the USPS. Things going priority are not usually a problem; mail arrives any where from a few days to two weeks depending on the size of the package, where it was sent from or is going to and the time of year (mail takes longer in Dec due the increase in volume). Parcel post on the other hand is is AWFUL. It can take a box over 2 months to get here(the norm is 4-6 weeks). But the very worst (that I have experienced) is Fedex/mail combo some companies use. It takes a week for it to go from the company via fedex to the post office where it then gets mailed parcel post. I am still waiting on replacement filters for my vacuum that I ordered and were shipped before Christmas.
