USAKilts shipping is quick, USPS not so much.

Almost here. Package made it to Richmond, just across the Bay, on Saturday and sat there for two days. Got to San Francisco around noon yesterday; is s'posed to be delivered today.

But then, it also was s'posed to be delivered last Wednesday. We'll see.

It would seem that, as Christmas edges ever closer, they are (as is traditional) becoming more and more lax. I've a couple kilts I picked up from Rocky's closet cleaning sale which haven't been scanned since leaving the USPS facility in Philadelphia around 1AM Sunday morning. The expected delivery is still today, though, so I can just sit and hope for another few hours.

Don't get your hopes up: USPS' website still said my delivery was expected to be on the 14th. . .all the way up to the 17th.

Indeed, no such luck today. Hopefully tomorrow, as I'm visiting the Scottish Tartan Museum on Thursday and haven't yet decided on which kilt to wear. Though the two I'm now waiting on are Ireland National and German-American, so for my first visit to the STM it most likely won't be one of the two...

My wife ordered hand knit hose for me from USA kilts. Came two days later! Awesome service.

Finally arrived today! I had resigned myself to not getting them before Christmas, so I was pleasantly surprised.

While they may be a little slower around this time of year, I can count on 1 hand the number of missing / misdelivered packages I've had from the post office in over 8 years of business (out of literally thousands of shipped packages). Their prices are the most reasonable, boxes are free (a BIG plus) and they are generally reliable. The Express service lets me down on occasion, but for average speed of a package (Priority Mail), they're good and least expensive.

I'm glad your package arrived before Xmas for you.

My experience has been the same with USPS, Rocky! Obviously I don't have even remotely close to the volume of shipping that you do, but having been to Afghanistan and Iraq, I've come to trust them pretty darned well. Are they always as fast as FedEx or UPS...no...but they do routinely work on Saturdays which is more than you can say for those other companies. As others have said, their online tracking is worthless, IMO...I like UPS's system the best for that!! On the whole, though, stuff has always gotten to it's destination, be it NY, NC, CA, Iraq, or Afghanistan!
