    I have found out that Priority mail is much better than parcel post when shipping to or from Hi and Ak.

    Parcel Post goes by ship to Hi and Ak. Should have shipped it Priority Mail. Saving money costs you time.

    $4 shipping from Alaska will take FOREVER. It probably took him at least 3 or 4 weeks to get payment

    -After three weeks, that is too long. You need to be rattling the guy's chain. Loudly!

    Also, if it were me, for a $900 ripoff, I would find the guy using one of those internet pay sites and spend $2000 going up there and would clean, adjust and oil his clock for him and charge him only $3000 plus time and expenses.

    Note: Typically military mail letters are delivered between seven and 10 days depending on country of destination. Priority Mail parcels will take 10 to 15 days. Parcel Post takes about 24 days, according to MPSA (Military Postal Service Agency) officials.

    Transit times will vary depending on operational conditions and the unit of the addressee. Those in established bases should continue to receive regular service, while those in forward areas or engaged in operations may experience longer arrival times due to logistical constraints. During Desert Storm we equated this with the military postal system having to forward mail to a population rivaling that of the city of Richmond, VA that was moving through an area the size of the U.S. east of the Mississippi river.
