Glad you got the package ok. But 1st class is not a viable option for packages, only small envelopes. Once you get into a box and over a pound, you have to use Parcel post instead of first class. PP has been known to take up to 3 weeks and is usually less than a dollar less than priority once you include delivery confirmation. In other words, your shipping cost would have been about the same, but you would not have the package for up to another 2 weeks. Trust me I ship stuff for a living. There is nothing worse than waiting for a PP package when you could have had a priority mail one for .50 more. 2-4 days vs. 2-3 weeks is a no brainer.
