USPS Express Shipping Question

So, a vendor offers "Express shipping" for an extra $50. Profile says "express" shipping is 1-2 days. "Priority" shipping 1-3 days.

I ordered the "Express" and got it in 2 days. Not bad, "priority" shipping usually arrives in 5 days.

Anyway, it's in a Express flat rate envelope, but the shipping label says "Priority 2-Day" The tracking info also says, USPS Product: Priority 2-Day. No where, except the envelope, does it mention "express."

But USPS Website says Priority Express is next day guaranteed. Priority is 1-3 days. I live in an area where if it shipped from vendors zip to my zip I would be in a 2 day priority zone.

I tell vendor I'm a bit confused, he keeps saying, he shipped "Express" and USPS Priority Express can take 1-2 days. And that the shipping label says "Priority 2-day" because it knows express shipping will take 2 days from his location to mine.

So, whats the deal. How does USPS Express shipping work? Should the printed USPS shipping label/postage say Priority Express if he paid the $20 something buck for express? Is express next day or 1-2 days?

I'm very confused, don't want to call the vendor a lier, but everything on the USPS website conflicts with what his profile says and what he's told me in messages.

Normal shipping usually takes about 5 days from this vendor.

There should be a big bold "P" or an "E" at the top of the label. If it is the P then its Priority. If there is an E then it is Express.

He's a liar. 2 day priority flat rate is the standard rate. Express is significantly more. He lied, unless he states express shipping just means he drops it off ASAP and means nothing about shipping method

vendor sent it priority not express. Make sure you mention it in your feedback so the vendor is held accountable. If it's an honest vendor you may get a refund on the extra postage not received.
