My recent experience at the Wildwood post office:
Paid $22.95 for Priority Express Mail flat fate envelope. Mailed to KY. Was told they do not do next day to that part of the country. It was guaranteed two days by 3 PM. Didn't seem right to me as I have used this before with next day delivery. I asked if it was because of the time of day, he said no.

I agree Priority Mail is a waste of money.

Instead he should of used Priority Express Mail, which is priced from $22.95 and he would of filled out a bill of landing and it is guranteed delivery by 10:30 the next day or your money back.

Had he sent the packages Priority Express Mail, they would not have delivered them with the regular mail at his mail stop, but a separate truck would of delivered to his home and requested a signature, unless he had waived the signature. Since he was at his mail stop waiting at 10:30, the delivery to his home would of gone undelivered and he would of lost his guaranteed refund.
