Beware of package shipping
the USPS is massed up .this was shipped on the 9th.
this package was shipped out of chicago going to detroit. here is tracking i got tonight Your item was processed and left our DES MOINES, IA 50395 facility on December 16, 2007. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later. 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"

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.

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.  |

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)

Guru - Did you ever get the package?
Quote:
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. Last edited by guiseppewv : 01-03-2008 at 08:29 PM. |
