We have quite a few mail orders for our canned product. Have noticed a definite deterioration in the quality of mail service, especially in the past two years. The following is an example of the journey taken by a medium sized flat rate box I shipped earlier this month.

They advertise 3 day delivery. But as you will notice it took 6 days for it to leave Alaska. Probably no solution to this problem as the Postal System is bogged down by a bloated pension system.
