If you are a resident of western or central Oregon who still has some online holiday shopping to do, you may want to get it taken care of soon.
Data published by AutoDS, a company that handles shipping logistics and warehousing for small businesses, found that Eugene-Springfield and Bend-Redmond were in a tie for the slowest delivery times for U.S. Postal Service Ground Advantage packages in the continental U.S.
Also in the tie were Salem, Medford, McMinnville and three cities in Snohomish County, Washington.
The group all averaged 4.82 days for a package to be delivered. That time was nearly two days longer than the fastest delivery locations, held by Columbus, Ohio and three surrounding cities.
While some Pacific Northwest times were among the slowest, they were less than half of the time it takes to send a package to the locations that the study mentioned in Alaska (nearly 11 days) and Hawaii (just over 12 days).
