Tanis asked if Priority Mail shipped late in the week is going to sit in a 
warehouse on Sunday & any holiday.  My answer reply is that Priority Mail can 
keep moving on Sunday.  My preferred day for shipping is Saturday.  But 
that's only because I have a nearby PO that gets its packages into the system 
if dropped off before noon.  Priority Mail I send Saturday almost always 
arrives in Monday's delivery in the lower 48, except in southern Oregon.  
Monday shipments seem to take three days more frequently.  But I know of 
others who find priority mail dropped off on Saturday arrives no sooner than 
packages mailed on Monday.  Maybe it depends on the local PO.  As to whether 
it matters whether plant material is delivered in two days instead of three 
days; I've never noticed any difference.  But I've never tried shipping or 
receiving leafy budwood or anything like that.
