How did they do that?
It usually takes a minimum of two days for an item sent by me to be delivered to my Dad in Pittsburgh, the same location of the Netflix depot.
And when did the USPS start delivering before 8:00 am???

Neither Snow Nor Rain Norr Heat Nor Gloom of Night
Yesterday I mailed some DVDs back to Netflix. I received email notice this morning at 7:07 am that they'd been received. Less than 24 hours from the time the DVDs were picked up from my mailbox to the time they were delivered and scanned in to Netflix's system.

You probably don't put bar codes on your letters to your Dad, and Netflix doesn't sit around waiting for Mr. Speedy Delivery to show up -- they send their own truck over to the central sorting facility in Pittsburgh at who-knows-what hour.
Still, it is pretty amazing, all in all.
For all the grumbling people do about the Post Office, they usually do a pretty good job. I should know, I used to play postal chess,(does that make me a geek or what?) and it was very rare that a move went astray.
