I talked to Blackstone today and the lady there informed me that she had a call this week from someone in Illinois and that it took 23 days for their 1ST class sample to be delivered. I was informed that I do not hold the record for the longest in transit time by USPS from a US address.
She also told me that they are trying something new. They are sending out sample bottles with a pre-printed "material return" (to them) label with tracking and they pay the postage on that end. The post office has approved of the label and what they are doing. It is kind of like a business reply mail. That kind of mail is always first class. I do not know if that will help keep some sorter in Forest Park, IL from throwing it in the Parcel Post bin anyway. The mailing cost is the same $3.16 but they pay it on their end.
We shall see.
