If sending via USPS, UPS, FedEx -- you have to make sure that there are no
stickers or barcodes on the package --

Don't forget that kicking and screaming sometimes work with FedEx -- but if
you paid the "saver" rate option, they will delay the package until the last
moment.

FWIW -- I almost always specify USPost Office "Prioirty Mail" -- If I get my
Digikey orders in during the early afternoon they arrive from Minnesota the
next day, and Saturday's aren't a problem.

I ordered a bunch of parts for a homebrew amp from Mouser on the 10th.
FedEx picked them up in Fort Worth, Texas on the 10th, got them to Los
Angeles on the 13th and they've been sitting there ever since. IF they
are delivered tomorrow, the 20th, that will be seven days to go the 120
miles from LA to my QTH. IF they are delivered tomorrow.

UPS has problems too, but they've never been that slow for me.

Sigh.
