ChitChats/Net Parcel via UPS seems to be the way to go. I've heard for sellers in Wpg to most closer states shipments arrive much faster compared to the usual standard US Small Packet Air or US Tracked. Expedited USA can be very inconsistent. Then throw in the cost difference. Bonus plus. Unfortunately not workable for all. I would call it a win for those that can use.

Delivered, In/At Mailbox
TACOMA, WA 98405
Two things to consider........
One; usually the Northwest (WA, OR) is almost always a day or two slower than ANY other part of the lower 48.
Two; this was Media Mail, while I frequently see 5 day delivery to major centres, the northwest is usually an extra day or two (at least).
Media Mail to this part of the US in less than 3 days is really unusual, even First Class doesn't get there that fast.

Calgary to Oregon with US Small Packet Air is 8 days including weekends. Routing was Calgary...Richmond..LAX...Oregon. Delivered. Better than it was in past. Alaska goes same routing including Washington state and then forward to AK. The issue with indirect routing, besides delivery time is risk of damage because of the extra handling.
