Generally have really good results with USPS freight or parcels. First class not so much. Sent birthday card to BIL from western Texas to central Texas. 326 miles. 22 days! Arrived almost two weeks after his birthday. And mailed it almost 2 weeks before the birthday. Not sure all the places that card went. Pretty sure Pony Express or Butterfield Overland could have beaten that time with ease. Likely walking with a pack mule would have been there sooner.
