I have had a couple of problems with the "surepost" system that delivers the final mile. An order from Natchez was delayed at the USPS center for several days, and would probably be there still had I not contacted Natchez to get an investigation started.

Right now I have been 5 days on a Midway order that was supposed to be here yesterday (Monday). Seems it is hung up by the USPS again.

I realize that Midway and Natchez are trying to offer cheaper shipping options, but in some cases especially in dealing with the USPS, cheaper is not the way to go.

From now on I plan to wait until I have a large enough order in my cart to justify using regular UPS, instead of dealing with the Postal service.
