why to not use media mail...

Back on the 2nd, I ordered the new Rebecca magazine from an eBay seller. When I went through the checkout process, I noticed that they offered shipping by media mail. I usually don't mind media mail. I have ordered books and cds, had them shipped media mail, and had them on my doorstep in as little as 4 days. And, the postal service says that it takes 7-10 days.

Well, after 22 days, I have my copy of the Spring Rebecca! This was, of course, no fault of the seller. I got shipping confirmation and tracking info the day after I placed my order...gold star for SuperCrafty; needs improvement for the usps.
