The U.S. Postal Service stikes again!

The sad part is when you have no choice.
Last week I ordered items from two places. Both had no other shipping option than USPS.
One item (thankfully it was the time-sensitive one) arrived on time and intact. The other was due to arrive the same day, but took an extra seven days due to being re-routed to different hubs multiple times.....and all it had to do was go fro SC to GA.

its even worse if your address is a po box as you are way out in the country.  only USPS


they all suck, but it really does seem like some hubs are just trash, if it has to go thru one of the bad ones, its just bad.


I just recently had a next day air delivery that only had to go about 160 miles take 4 days.  It was from seattle to portland.  so not exactly small hubs.

If "next day air" takes 4 days, do you still have to pay for it? They should at least refund all except what the cheapest ground shipping would have cost. My package that arrived in Indy 13 days ago is still on it's way to the next facility, but they haven't updated it in 10 days. It's lost. I think it's time for a replacement. It already took 2 weeks to get from Virginia to wherever it is now.

They ate it.   Luckily  the live things in it survived.

so i just got a package from MO to ID  thru USPS.   I ordered it very late in the day on 4/24  shipped  late on the 25th, got here a little after 2 today the 28th.   


just standard value shipping, nothing crazy.   mean while the item i order on the 22 and shipped on the 23 from KS to ID shipped UPS ground is still 3 days out.  both were relatively small, and light.
