How long does it take to ship something from Pennsylvania to California?
A question like this needs another quantifier like what you're shipping, a cost ceiling, etc.If we assume you're shipping a Furby and need it there as quickly as possible, the answer is in about 5 hours. There are thousands of courrier services, including the big ones like UPS and FedEx, that offer Same Day shipping. Obviously there are lots of constraints and timing is important. But it usually means the courrier picks up your item from you, goes to the airport and the Furby will fly as air cargo or even as checked luggage for a ticketed passenger on the next direct flight to your delivery destination. From there it will be picked up at the airport and delivered. PA to CA in 5 hours. Approximate cost would be in the $1600 to $2000 range, obviously more if it is a busy travel weekend or if the sizing constraints make air cargo more expensive.If you want it there in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable cost you can choose from many carriers like UPS, FedEx, DHL, or USPS that offer services that vary from overnight with early am delivery to basic ground transportation that usually takes 3–5 days. Overnight with standard afternoon delivery for a Furby would be in the $50-$75 range on most carriers while ground may be $4-$8.

Standard shipping is often used to mean third class or parcel post. The time it takes varies enormously based on distance but standard shipping always goes by ground, never by air unless its destined for an overseas military address. You would have to go to the official USPS website which is www.usps.com and type in the origin and destination zip codes to get an accurate idea of how long it will take. Businesses that mail huge quantities of identical letters or magazines are eligible to send them by standard mail at a discount because they would already be presorted by zip code or region.

How much does it cost to fix a flat or leaking tire?
Probably run you about $50–$60 or so.Why?Because shops no longer use “plugs”. There was a time when a shop would use a ream to slightly enlarge the hole (once whatever was stuck in the tire was removed) and then insert a soft, tar-like, rubber plug coated with adhesive into the hole. A short set up time was needed and then the tire was inflated. And you went on your way. And that might run 20 bucks. You could even do it yourself for the cost of one of the kits you could buy in the parts stores.The problem with the plug method was the fact some of the steel radial cords were broken, damaged or weakened …or all three. This was a set up for tire failure down the road. It must have happened to somebody. And for whatever reason the lawyers got involved and some tire company and/or big chain tire shop had to pay serious coin.So the plug is dead. To fix a leak the tire is removed from the vehicle and unmounted from the rim. The hole is found, the area prepped and a patch is put in place over the hole. There’s a special “clamp” to hold pressure on the patch while it cures for awhile. The tire is then remounted, balanced and put back on your vehicle. And you’re on your way with a significantly lighter wallet then in years gone by. Labor. It’s all about labor.
How many days does USPS priority mail take?
Priority Mail is not a guaranteed service. The commitment time is 2 to 3 days. I have noticed a couple of sections of the country where there’s an extra day as a rule. Those are the Dallas-Fort Worth and the Portland-Seattle areas. Somehow the hubs there have an extra stop. Also, factor in if the item was mailed on a Thursday or Friday. The retail/delivery side isn’t open on Sunday or possibly Monday(holiday) and that will add a day.If you absolutely, positively have to have a letter somewhere, choose to use Priority Express mail, the post office’s guaranteed and insured service. Yes, it is pricey. But if it is not delivered by the time and date guaranteed on your label, you get a full refund. thus getting it delivered for free.
What factors determine whether USPS priority mail is delivered on Saturday?
Holy cow. This was my first reaction to the question.First off, USPS Priority Mail has a 2-4 day window of delivery and even then Priority Mail is not a guaranteed service. Keep in mind that Saturday is still a regular delivery day.So the answer to the question is based in the general quality of service the post office in your area provides.Here in Santa Barbara delivery is probably 1-2 days, including Saturdays but not Sundays.A second factor to consider would be if this is an Amazon purchase. At this time, the post office has a contract with Amazon which includes delivery even on Sundays.Overall, I have great respect for the carriers and the quality of service they provide. Expect delivery of a Priority Mail piece within 2-4 days barring Acts of God or regular human error.
How long does it take for regular mail to send from Austin, Texas to San Antonio, Texas on an average schedule?
It depends on where you mail it from. If you mail it from a home mailbox you can give it two full business days. If you drop it at a corner mail box like the big blue ones that are on the corner around most towns you would have to drop it before 5pm since the post office usually collects the mail from these at or around 515 pm. only . This would also be a 2 business day delivery. But if your drop it in the corner box after 515 pm THEN you can count on it taking 3 business days since it wouldn't be picked up till 515 the following day.The only way in Texas to make sure you get it there within 3 days with out paying express shipping is to deliver it to the post office where it will more then likely be processed and sent out within a few hours.What happened was a few years ago the USPS started breaking up the places where mail was sorted to save money. Great example is in Conroe Tx. If you mailed a letter from Conroe to someone in Conroe it goes to Houston by truck to be sorted and then brought back to Conroe for delivery. This makes the time to get a letter across town almost three days. I'm sure there is some kind of system in Austin or San Antonio that is set up the same.So if I was mailing a letter from Austin to San Antonio I would just count on 3 days to be safe. It would be 2 more then likely but if I had to plan on trying to mail something that had a time restriction I would definitely plan on 3 days just to be safe.
