lmao on this one why would it go to IA. to get to detroit a 6 hour drive away ?

IA might be a large hub for them. They never do things "Direct"

:stupid:

Unless you're near a hub.

But still... it ain't there a week later? It must've gotten lost or missorted. suxor.

Reno, are you the sender or receiver?

I did see a story recently where they delivered a Christmas Card like 93 years too late. So hopefully it doesn't take that long. :)

I was watching a USPS package that was going from the Detroit area to the Chicago area a week ago. The only the online tracking showed was that the package had been misrouted. It did arrive ok, though.

lmao on this one why would it go to IA. to get to detroit a 6 hour drive away ?Because the package was trying to escape going to the leftist utopia of Detriot which last month was called the most dangerous US city. Unfortunately while staying in Iowa the poor package couldn't escape being subjected to slip 'n fall lawyer John Edwards who in speeches keeps trying to channel that socialist assmonkey Hugo Chavez.

Even with 2-3 day priority you're on day 4? I've really never had shipping problems with the USPS. But I also never really ship during Christmas either, I usually wire transfer funds to family members or have items directly shipped from wherever purchased. :shrug:

Just out of curosity - was this a large or unusually shaped pacakge?

[Devhux]

I'm still waiting for a package shipped December 3 -- I'm in Canada though, so I can't track it. :(

This reminds me of when I ordered a CueCat barcode reader, and nearly was ready to accuse the eBay seller of not shipping my product! (You'd think I would learn from this, but nope) :(

Suspicious terrorist-like package detained for additional screening?! You'll never see it again.

[renovation]

Just out of curosity - was this a large or unusually shaped pacakge?no it was not the box ened up being about 8" x 8" x 24" in size or 2 shoe boxs in length and weigh about 5 pounds

I had the usps bungle a Christmas gift delivery. They never put a notice on the door, so nobody knew to go to the PO to pick up the package. Luckily, I got my gf more than one gift. Plus, she is super cool, so waiting until after Christmas to get her gift was no big deal.
