Thank you! +4. Interesting to learn the mail is always moving. I wonder, does that mean some mail may move "faster" through the system than other types?

Yes. There are many things that can slow delivery, such as not using the proper ZIP® Code.

Comedian Bob Hope (1903-2003) once said that only 3¢ of the cost of a postage stamp is for the actual expense in delivering a letter. "The rest is for STORAGE."

Thanks for the points!
