UPS and USPS Mixup.........?

Question

I recently shipped a box, with a UPS shipping label, but I dropped it off at the United states postal service (USPS) by mistake, and they still accepted it. Whats going to happen with my box? They said it will be there in a week, but its already been a week and my cousin still hasent reviced anything

Answer 1

First off, the timeframe you were told is an average, not a guarantee. I would assume that since you were told a week, that you went on the cheap and sent your package by Parcel Post. The average time foe Parcel Post is 2-9 days nationwide.

You also need to consider that today is a holiday and there is no mail delivery.

Outside of that, the type of box really isn't going to make a difference.
