Why does Priority Mail 2-day take 3 days?
It is this average history time-frame that dictates whether you see 1, 2 or 3 days printed on the label. You likely see 3-day on packages going to HI or AK, as well as locations farther away from you or being delivered to very rural addresses. Shipments within the same state (generally) will show as quick as 1-day.
