Heard stories about guaranteed overnight.
You buy the money back if they’re late option, and the whole bill is refunded when your tube shows up 3 days later.
But if there’s an act of god and they get it there on time it’s expensive… obviously.
Any of you guys try it?

I'm pro choice.

This week I shipped an expensive item Priority Mail Express. Paid $164 Shipping plus $26 Insurance.
It arrived a day late and I got the $164 refunded to me based on the Money-Back Guarantee for PME.
Use USPS's incompetence against them.

I feel the opposite. Ground packages have been taking forever! Coming and going. Haven't shipped priority in ages and thinking about going back to it. Ground sucks despite the low cost, but you get what you pay for i guess, unless you're Blue.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.
Paid $65 today to ship something else Priority Mail Express that could have been sent $15 with regular Priority.
This time is was maybe a little unnecessarily to use PME, but decided to gamble on USPS's incompetence.
Will report back tomorrow if this turns into free shipping again.

this kind of reminds me of somebody going to Vegas, winning on 1st roll and thinking the odds are in his favor 
I sent a tube on Jan 4th from NY to MO. It’s still in transit despite sending “Priority Mail”. I’ve really only recently come back to the hobby and don’t send a lot of stuff out. This was the first time I can really remember anything ever being lost or waylaid. Either a) I’ve been really lucky over the years, or b) USPS have got a lot worse in the years since I was more active.
Wasn’t a hugely expensive print but made me glad I always add insurance!!
It’s only my second time using Pirateship, and although the service seems to be embraced by many, I can’t help thinking that buying postage through them has something to do with it. Is Priority Mail still priority for the USPS when you’re not buying it directly from them? Who knows, but this wait has been wild.
