    Priority Mail USPS Shipping

    Hey guys, so, I recently paid for a 25$ shipping including tracking, shipped trough USPS Priority Mail International. It took 8 days to come to me. 2 days after, I received another package, from the US, shipped trough USPS First Class Mail International. That one took the same time (8 days) to get to me.

    Now, I am in the process of buying something pretty valuable (a 145$ + deal, not cards) and I need to do a choice between Priority Mail (29.99$) and First Class Mail (15.99$).

    What should I do, as it took the same time for both options last time, except that with first class mail you don't have a tracking number .. but the tracking the last time on my package was only updated once - so was totally unuseful. Should I still take the Priority Mail for the tracking and pay 2 times for pretty much nothing, or I should go with the First Class Mail?

    Thank's

    Nic

    i don't think both are 100% guaranteed to arrived to you. It's just that one you can constantly check where the package is and the other obviously you don't know where it is cause USPS First Class is like our Canada Post US Air Mail.

    If you want to keep track of where the package is and need evidence of where it is, then pay the extra $14. I once paid for tracking from the US and it still took 3 weeks for the card to arrive. But at least I could go back to the seller with something, as opposed to only being able to say 'where is my card, it has not arrived yet'.

    I finally took the First Class mail ... it's not my first time buying from this seller so I'm confident, and I didn't have the couple extra bucks. Hope that Canada Post will be fast! Thanks
