Mr Munoz,
Suncoast Herptetological is absolutely correct.
From USPS.com
Quote:
Live animal shipments using Express MailŪ should expect a 2- to 3-day transport, so try shipping early in the week and avoiding holiday weeks with limited acceptance days and times. Express Mail postage will not be refunded unless the delivery or attempted delivery is more than 3 days after the day of mailing.

I believe that stipulation came about as part of a safe handling amendment, and included temperatures, arrival/departure times, etc. It happened several years ago, and I don't recall all the details; but I do know that Express mail doesn't guarantee next day delivery for live animal shipments.
