A ***** about the us postal service or lack of

I knew when we were going to be in Phoenix Az to visit my brother for 5 days so the day before we got to Phoenix my daughter went to the post office and shipped my meds priority mail 2-3 day service. When they had not arrived after 5 days my daughter went to the post office to find out why it was taking so long.......their response.....Phoenix is not a major city. So in my opinion the USPS tv commercial featuring Spiderman is all a big lie or false advertising. I thought because USPS delivers 6 days a week they would be a better option. But at this point I guess UPS or Fed Ex would have been a better choice....
I wonder how others get their mail sent to their next destination in a timely manner....

    Our mail has been sent via Priority Mail by our mail forwarding service to us in various locations for 12 years.
    It is normally shipped on Thursday and we usually receive it on Monday or Tuesday no matter where we are.

    But two or three times a year it won't show up for 5 or 6 days. Our service provides us with a tracking number so I can see when was sent and where it is.

    When it is late it usually gets sent to a processing center in a place that makes no sense and stays there a day or two or three before being sent on.
