I got an email notice that a UPS package is coming today but when I checked to see where it's at it says it was delayed by weather in Illinois. Since I've been checking the status of my packages on the computer this is the first delay. It could happen with any delivery service but at least I know about the delay. I never know where my USPS packages are until I get them. The last package I got from USPS is a holiday music CD that has a broken case. The damage to the package is clear to see. I'm still waiting to hear back from the place I got it from.

Check several times this morning and they finally got the move on.
See the activity at 8:30 at the correct facility?    But also noticed they changed the estimated delivery from 1/2 to 1/6.  Great 20/20 vision there.

Yes, it was in the mail box.  No reason for it to have kicked around for three days.  It was clearly and properly labeled with a 9 digit ZIP even.   The wife is so relieved it was there because she said, and I'm sure she was wrong, I was getting real grouchy over this.   I mean it only took 3 days to go from ATL, 20 miles to my PO.

We all have horror stories about every carrier I'm sure.  It's like gun reviews.  Look around and you'll find forums who dis or champion any gun.

My local USPS sucks these days.
Our rural carrier (old family friend) retired after 20 years and the next year the post-master of the town facility retired also.
To say that their "replacements" fail to measure up is an understatement.

Our old mail carrier was so regular with deliveries, we could nearly set our clocks by the delivery time each day. The only time he was off was during severe weather.
Now, I think they are using part-timers and "fill-in" carriers from other Post Offices......and one day the mail might come at 10 AM and the next day it might come at 5 PM....and I don't think they bother to deliver at all when it rains.

I haven't got my mail yet today and I don't really expect to get it later. It's only 6 degrees out there. The mailman is probably burning everything to stay warm.  ;)

Funny the day after posting my above comments..... today I come home from doctor's office to find a delivery of Lee reloading items I ordered from Amazon (Christmas gift card from son).... funny thing was, I was expecting two boxes........and there was an EXTRA box.  :o

A check of the shipping label showed it to be addressed to my brother, whose house is only a couple hundred yards away......so, I can kinda see the error, but it just shows the USPS carrier wasn't reading the label past the last name.


But hey, at least I got my powder measure and universal decapping die!!!!  :D  :D

Great experience with UPS today.  Ordered two bricks of CCI .22lr Standard Velocity on Friday, and when I stopped by the house this noon the box was next to the front door with the guard cats covering it.

Question of the day is how long before I can order more.  Midway has a two box limit, and I'm thinking they may need to deplete this supply before it will allow me to order more.

The computer won't accept the order.  It recognizes me.  I even tried on an account I set up for the wife.  Wish I would have pulled the trick of using my building number system.  I have numbers for all our buildings, because we get charged premiums for "residential delivery" by trucking firms.  When I add building numbers suddenly we are a business and no extra charge.  Maybe adding "building 4" after the street address would have made it look like she was a different family than me.

If they stopped an account of your wife's, then there is a good chance they ID'd you with something on your computer...likely a cookie...a marker sites stash on your computer to give them some history of your transactions with them.
