Would express shipping be pointless?

I need some advice before finishing this order. I use RXMAN all the time and if I use priority i get it in 2 days. I want it before christmas and It will ship tomorrow more than likely. If I use express it would probably take two business days but I want to be sure im going to get it before christmas. So would you spend the 10 on priority or the god awful amount of 35?

There's no guarantees this close to xmas. Its up to you to weigh up the risk/reward. Nobody can advise you, because with dont know the relative value of the risk (25 bucks) vs the reward (getting your shit for xmas). We dont know how big of a disaster not getting it on tine will be for you etc etc.

A couple of months ago I really,really needed something for the weekend. Like it was going to be a disaster if I didnt get this shit. So on the Monday before I found the 3 reputable vendors with the quickest claimed shipping and delivery, all less than 3 days. I put 3 almost identical orders before lunch time monday. I got the first one that Friday, the next the following Tuesday and the third one never showed and was offered refund/reship.

If you want real guarantees that the type of shit you need to do imo.

If I wanted it by Christmas I would have ordered express. You may not get it...but if you want it....go for it man

Priority is running about 4 days for us right now. There's a chance if you get express it'll make it there by christmas, assuming the vendor ships it ASAP. No way in hell it'll get there by christmas with priority.

If you don't get it on time USPS will refund the shipping fee, but only vendor can file for the refund. If this doesn't sketch the vendor out, at least you'll get free shipping and faster than priority service if it is late. Considering that priority is averaging 4 days right now I'd be willing to loan USPS $25 for a week.

I would reccomend UPS or FedEx overnight services. It'll probably actually get there before christmas. Fuck USPS.

Yeah, they're private carriers and can open your shit without a warrant, but it seems to me that the warrant isnt much of a deterrent for USPS anyhow. It's probably a reasonable risk.

By the way, you did not mention what you're ordering, and I'm not familiar with that vendor. I am assuming its not weed, by his name. I would not ever in a million years suggest anyone ship weed by air.
