Media mail is the next best thing to leaving undelivered mail under a viaduct (which has happened here in Chicago). Sometimes I think the Post Office deliberately mauls and delays media mail just to scare you away from using it. My media mail only shows up on Friday, for example. So if I order a book on Wednesday, I might as well wait until the next Monday because they will show up at the same time. Anytime someone uses media mail to ship things, I try to find the guy as close to me as possible. The farther it has to travel, the worse off it will be -- and the longer it takes to cartwheel to your address.
