25 years ago a small USPS flat rate box cost $3.50 and would frequently travel from east coast to west coast in 2 days. Calculated for inflation that is $6.50 in 2025 dollars.
In the last 2 weeks packages traveling 700-800 miles are taking between 7-9 days. My PO Box had someone else's package in it yesterday.
Experiences with Fedex and UPS aren’t any better. The quality of service from all three are bad compared to years ago.
