Here are my current experiences so far... (Mon Oct 8 22:24:39 2001 )

US Priority Mail has been, for the most part, 
right on schedule these past few weeks.  However, 
I would make a condition on that statement.  Cels 
sent to me from various parts of the United 
States have reached me on schedule.  The only 
exception is that an Anime Assault cel (origin: 
Utah) took almost of full week rather than 2-3 
days to reach me (California).

On the other hand, I sent out a package to Texas 
via US Priority Mail and it took 8-9 days to 
finally reach its intended destination.  I figure 
that it got lost somewhere and then found again 
(thank goodness).  Such mix-ups should be 
anticipated at this time.

Shipments from Canada usually take longer, so you 
should be more patient with those.  Some cels 
that I purchased from a Canadian collector took 
over a month to reach me (but that was a 
combination of waiting for my check to clear, her 
getting over some flu/cold, and having the cels 
shipped via ground   whatever else could go 
wrong).

On the other hand, a shipment from a Canadian 
retailer just last week took less than 6 days to 
reach me.  It was sent via airmail.

Finally, a payment I sent via airmail to Japan 
arrived in the expected 7-10 days, so there 
doesn't appear to be any delays that way.  Of 
course, receiving packages from Japan is going to 
take a while, since there appeared to be a major 
back-log as a result of the Japan-US air travel 
stoppage.

Because of the initial disruption of air travel 
and mail service, we should certainly expect a 
few mix-ups.  My advice is always to utilize 
Delivery Confirmation or some type of tracking 
service.
