what is CONUS?
I hope we find out if the buyer gets this ball.
USPS especially parcel post is a very slow way to ship something.
I would recommend never ship USPS Parcel post.
FedEx and UPS are great

USPS is not all that slow. I have had some parcels come very quickly across the country, equivalent or faster than UPS. But I've also had some come from 2 states away take 30 days to arrive.

The true bad part about USPS is a confirmation number (sometimes used as a true tracking number) costs extra and the all important insurance costs a lot extra. Both old and new balls MUST have insurance, in my opinion.

Both UPS and FEDEX include both (insurance up to $100) free and they guaranatee delivery in xxx days. USPS will not guarantee delivery times; they say it will fall within in a range of days depending on the cost of shipping. Parcel post's delivery range is with in 28 days. Priority Mail' delivery range supposedly is 3- 5 days but never guaranteed.

Glad the ball was received. Will give buyer the option on selling in the future. I tried to keep things as cheap as possible----which goes along with the price on my items. In the future, I will allow the buyer to dictate. Billy, I'm glad you rec'd the ball and I hope you like it.
