USPS sucks
- Edited
Anyone remember me saying I bought a set of PING ZING heads on eBay? That was Nov 9th. They shipped USPS Priority on the 10th. According to tracking, they are still in Utica, Illinois (Dec 2nd). The seller cited COVID as the problem with shipping, but they have several negative feedback comments about "never received the item". Anyway. I asked for a refund with the promise that I would return them if they showed up. No response. I opened a case in eBay and got a full refund right away. Not expecting ever see the heads. Seller is sportsbossgolf.
sdandrea1 - out of curiosity, how many transactions have you had on eBay?
I'm guessing you've won some kind of recognition from them as an individual Ho. Power seller? Power buyer?

645 total transactions. 100% positive feedback buying and selling......probably because I sell my stuff cheap, make it look shiny, and ship quick.

I knew you'd have 99.9% positive feedback or better, that's why I didn't ask. 
SIX HUNDRED FORTY FIVE transactions is impressive. I tip my cap to you! I would think they'd ask you to be on a power user panel to seek your input on tweeking their system.
That's since 2008, so 12 years worth of ho-ing and I have an electric guitar habit too. I've also done a fair share of selling stuff for friends and family.
Par4QC Having neither bought nor sold anything on EBay, I take it both the buyer and seller are graded???
Bravopilot Correct. I'm lucky that I have the 100% as maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of mine came from sales.
I just checked and I only have about 12 feedbacks in the past year. Haven't done much selling there the past few years.

Yes, but feedback is separate for each category. Each member has feedback as a buyer and feedback as a seller.
We were just told by the ups driver that we need to put a tote in the end of the driveway....they are no longer coming in the driveway if they think it's too much snow or ice and everything goes back after 1 delivery attempt.

pellmell Logistics is a very complex concept and why logisticians are well paid. (Sorry, I work with logisticians often, and they hate it when I say the same thing about pilots). Perfect timing.
I get home from work today and there’s a box sitting in the turnaround in our driveway. I’m thinking what the hell is this, get out of the car to take a look and find it’s the coffee I ordered last week. WTF? They can’t get out of the vehicle and just throw it up on the porch by the door? I’m sure they just turned around opened the door and tossed it out. FedEx is who f-ing sucks in this neck of the woods. Rant over

I just wanted to post a USPS update. My DIL lives in a very rural area that is serviced by a very small local USPS office. My wife talked to her the other day and she told her that she was at the local PO the other day and the place was literally stacked to the ceiling with Amazon boxes which are easily discernable with their swoosh logo. The PO clerk told her they were overwhelmed with all packages but most from Amazon. So, morale of story is to ship now if you even hope to send something or receive it by Christmas. I sent two large boxes of presents to my kids in Minnesota and Boston two weeks ago. They were supposed to take 4 days. At two weeks the MN box got there yesterday and the Boston box is out for delivery today. I am guessing UPS and Fuddex are busy as well.
I sent a package WI to CA 12/3, arrived in CA 12/8 and to the local PO on 12/9. Not terrible considering some of the stories....but was holding my breath!
