Looks like my package only took 3 days to go from Vegas to Vegas.
And whats up with the different zip codes?

A quick search of Las Vegas zip codes on Google shows that there are indeed a lot of them for Las Vegas! Why it takes so long to go across the city? Your guess is as good as mine.

When you fly in to Las Vegas, one might think that they are looking at the city as a whole. reality is that las Vegas city proper is a small city that over time incorporated many townships.

As for the postal delay, it's the government! there probly snooping thru your parcel, think nsa.

Hahaha, I'm quite sure snooping in your mail is not within the purview of the NSA*

Your best bet is to call the Post Office and ask. Either you'll get an up-front answer, or you'll get a crusty civil servant with their own ideas about customer service ;)

*Assuming we're talking about US Mail, hehehe

Aint you ever heard the saying, what happens in vegas, stays in vegas?

A postal worker noted the jewelry related business on the package. Opened it, got a black-market loan on it, bet it all on black, lost. Then sold his body for two nights, paid off his loanshark and delivered the package.

Duh.

Just kidding.
