Does that mean it's likely it'll be overnight? I ordered overnight shipping, from TX to WI, and i looked it up and said it was overnight to most areas, and that this specific order was GUARANTEED to arrive in 2 days. I figure if they're absolutely certain that 2 days is the longest it'll take, and it says overnight to most areas, it's probly gonna be overnight. Anyone else have experience with the $22.50 overnight express with USPS? I'm guessing overnight, but would like other opinions.

overnight always cost me 40 bucks from south carolina to pittsburgh or reverse. ive learned that if they say i guarantee it before "thrusday at 1030 am" u get it at 10am on thursday but its always there not a minute late so u cant get your money back.

It just means you're not in a "major" delivery area (according the the USPS), so they don't want to go out on a limb and guarantee next day. I've never had a problem, though, when I lived in the boonies. :-)

Nothing in life is truly guaranteed. Least of all pod deliveries!

Yea i'm getting kinda worried now, even though it was processed at and left the city nearest me, about 10 miles away at 3 am last night....It says delivered by noon or 3 the NEXT DAY usually. Well it's now the second day, just after noon and still no package. At least it's somewhere near me. If it magically doesn't get here by the guaranteed date like i'm starting to assume it won't.....well i'm gonna be really pissed. It seems like us junkies always have the worst luck with this kind of stuff, like if there's a 99% chance of something good happening, we're always the 1%.

Why yes thank you for asking! They're great! Having trouble consuming them though, i'll need to get a coffee grinder cause my blender just doesn't grind them up fine enough for me to consume all the grounds. I HAD a mini-chop that would be PERFECT but somebody lost the blade....dammit.

usps overnight is definitely ovenight except for a few small areas, either by noon or 3pm depending on where you live. Sucks that you're in a shitty area....not grinding well could just be moisture if you got pods from who I think, I heard her pods are pretty fresh.

Just an FYI you can goto the USPS site and select the zip code it is departing and the arriving zip code with added express shipping. This gets you a pretty accurate date, if it says two days it usually takes two days. Occasionally you will get one overnight that was only a two day guarantee but thats rare. I live in one of those areas thats sorta out of the way so I know express mail very well.
