Check out updates from USPS on First Class Service eff. 1 October 2021

Please make sure you check with USPS if you need your order for a deadline date! Before choosing USPS First Class or other services please check to see if their is a delay notice on your area at their site https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/residential/welcome.htm  

As of 1 October 2021 we recieved notice from USPS with the following changes - Please see their site for the complete notice and changes: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/statements/09172021-usps-to-implement-new-service-standards-for-first-class-mail-and-periodicals.htm

"On October 1, the Postal Service will implement new service standards for First-Class Mail and Periodicals. These new service standards will increase delivery reliability, consistency, and efficiency for our customers and across our network.

Most First-Class Mail (61 percent) and Periodicals (93 percent) will be unaffected by the new service standard changes. Standards for single-piece First-Class Mail traveling within a local area will continue to be two days.
The Postal Service will increase time‐in‐transit standards by 1 or 2 days for certain mail that are traveling longer distances. By doing so, the Postal Service can entrust its ground network to deliver more First-Class Mail, which will lead to greater consistency, reliability, and efficiency that benefits its customers.
The service standard changes are part of our balanced and comprehensive Delivering for America Strategic Plan and will improve service reliability and predictability for customers and enhance the efficiency of the Postal Service network. The service standard changes that we have determined to implement are a necessary step towards achieving our goal of consistently meeting 95 percent service performance."

We do our very best to have a no longer than 48 business hours turn around on shipping your order; once we hand off to the carrier you have selected we sadly no longer have control over delays or mishaps with your order. Please contact us if there's a problem and we will do all we can do on our end to help.
