Well...how is the post office doing for you?
I was playing around with some of the features on Endicia and noticed it kept track of delivery stats.
Notice it took 18 days for a Priority Package.
All my packages are shipped from Mid-Atlantic Region.
Other(First Class) 22 Packages
Average Delivery Time 3.4 days
Quickest Delivery 2 days
Longest Delivery 7 days
Priority Mail 153 Packages
Average Delivery 2.6 days
Quickest Delivery 1 days
Longest Delivery 18 days
Package Services (Parcel Post) 8 Packages
Average Delivery 6.5 days
Quickest Delivery 2 days
Longest Delivery 16 days
Please post your results to compare averages for each service and say what area you are mailing from.
To find these stats...open your endicia software...click on POSTAGE tab in menu bar...then click on ACCOUNT ON ENDICIA.COM in menu...after you click on that...it will take you to a web page..click on the link on the left side of screen that says LOOKUP PACKAGES....select the PRINTED ANYTIME lookup and click the RED GO Button...that will open a new page then scroll to the bottom to see your stats.

I have tried to do what you say, and I have nothing on the left that says LOOKUP PACKAGES.
I can get to a LOOKUP ACCT stuff but all I can get out of that is the % of cost spent on the different types of delivery. ie: 83% of my postage is spent on priority.
Do you all have the "Premium" Endicia service? I only have the regular service, maybe that is why I can't get that info.

Harry, I'm glad you released this feature. I did something similar but I had to use a web scraping program to download the results as an HTML file (for each tracking URL) and mass search/replace edit them to get them into a format I could use in a database.
I broke mine down by state because really no customer is going to care how long it takes on average. They just care how it long will take to deliver to them.
My results are listed here:

I could have broken out the data via Delivery Class, but I didn't find a significant difference between USPS First Class and USPS Priority.

Here is mine from Endicia. Anyone have a percentage of how many eDelivery Confirmation packages never get scanned?
