Trust me I already know.
Al sent me a package back the end of March.
Last scan was Denver on the 28th of March.....
Finally arrived at my place the 15th of June.

Good luck, hope it doesn't take as long as mine.

Just a word to the wise here also. If you mail something and you think you will get your money back sending a priority mail box I have some news for you. You wont and they wont pay the included insurance either. Make sure you have receipts for whats in the box and pictures of whats in the box. Even then getting your money back wont be easy. Why is it the USPS can not perform and keep the money. Highway robbery if you ask me. You should be able to take the tracking number to your local PO and get the money back when they can look up the tracking number and see it hasnt delivered. Also when trying to track a package you will not ever be able to get a hold of a human being that can tell you where that package went after it was last scanned. Just went through this and its all a total joke just like the USPS. I will not ever again ship with them.

You think you people have it bad. I am waiting for a package from Russia. It went through Customs on April 27th and still nothing. I am afraid that the P.O. lost it. It included some original WWII items.

I gave up on all my expectations of prompt mail delivery. If and when it gets here it gets here. Progress!

Probably not the wrong call per say.
I tracked a package that I ordered about ten days ago. Was shipped via Fedx. First it was to be delivered last Friday. Then they changed that to Monday, ( today ). Happened to be sitting on my porch when the young lady stopped in front of the house.
She went into the back of the van for approx 30 seconds. Then she got out and got in the driver seat, and drove off before I could stop here. I tracked it again shortly after 5:00 PM. Tracking said there was an error...wrong address...NOT! Why would she have stopped right in fron of the house if she had the wrong address? My guess is that she did not find it in the van quickly enough to suit HER! schedule.
Corporate tells me it will be here tomorrow...
Oh, I might add that the house number sign is at the street right where she parked. :roll: :x

I chose USPS because Fed X won't deliver to our rural address, and USPS has been good for years for me and easy to pick up at post office. I expect I'll get my stuff eventually.
