DonM After the Texas fiasco, I shook every tree at the 4 day mark. I never gave them a breather; Priority Mail says 2-3 days when I print the labels. I expect it! Some took a couple more days, but who knows how long they would have let them all sit around.
Since then, 2-3 days has been the norm for packages I've shipped. Mainly, 2 days anywhere. šŸ˜‰
Think I did have a slight hangup last week with Steve's box.

    I have my doubts I'm ever receiving this particular item. If I do, this is the most convoluted routing I've ever seen on any package I've ever had sent to me.

    Nothing like the scenic tour from Portland, OR to Massachussetts, and then on up to Nashua, NH.

    Coast-to-Coast and my item's toast.

    Okay, yesterday afternoon I submitted the report.
    This morning it's out for delivery. So maybe it's been sitting there for a week. ?
    You know, we give our mailman a Christmas card with money in it.
    Bastard.

      DonM UPS is worse than USPS could ever be, on delaying (a possible early )delivery. I've tracked incoming packages, and see them arriving at the Chicago area hub, let's say, on Mon. night. Normally, that package would come to the local terminal later that night/early a.m., and be delivered Tues.. BUT, if the "scheduled" delivery shows the package "scheduled" for Thurs. delivery, it sits up there until Thurs. early a.m.. Historically, I believe they have never delivered anything ahead of "schedule", it is against their rules.

      In fact, I'm getting such a delivery today. Scheduled for today, came into that hub Sun. evening. There's your bastards! šŸ˜

        Par4QC - I've noticed that about UPS for years. They want you to buy an expedited delivery option. FedEx pulls the same crap with me. It can sit until the exact delivery date even though it is in the local terminal.

          Tried to do a good deed and send a wedge to @Spuzz but of course, no good deed goes unpunished. Round and round it goes......

            It's likely at Canada Customs now, in Mississauga, Ont.
            Tracking will be sparse from there is my guess. lol
            If it's there now, it will be here by Thurs at the latest.
            Cross your fingers!

              Spuzz Yep, it will "go dark" for 3-5 days, before showing it's in Canada. I just sent a box up there Friday, and it's already gone dark. Very quick from here.

              I've been getting messages lately asking me "how the hell did you do that ", when they got deliveries in just 2 days. (CONUS) Except going through PA, those people are lazy fucks in their P.O. buildings.

                Walterjn A few years ago, I was shipping out so many boxes, I swear they had "free pass for Rex" written in every P.O., they were moving so quick. Canada was (seriously)just another 2-3 day delivery, I had so many going up there. If it took 5 days, I thought it got lost. Even had 3 day deliveries to Australia.

                  LogicalOne LOL, that's not the half of it. It got really crazy. 3-5 days to Germany, France, and a few other places. The day the fella messaged me from AU that it arrived, I was still waiting for a box to be delivered in San Fran, mailed the same day. It made it in 4!

                    Here is a good one - I received 2 deliveries today, but not thiiiiiiis one:

                    PRE-SHIPMENT INFO SENT USPS AWAITS ITEM

                    My USPS experiences have been pretty good lately. Did I type that out loud? Jinx?

                    My package arrived. Tracking stopped where it stopped above and the buyer PM'd me (wrx) that the head arrived, thank gawd. It went to one of those shipping services that guys use to ship things to foreign countries. This one was in Florida and once received they ship it to the buyer who is in Columbia. And after the initial two emails the USPS did not respond. I emailed again on Monday and no response to that. I suspect the head was delivered promptly but they stopped scanning it after Milwaukee.

                    Why do they even call it Priority Mail 2 day?
                    Some of SWMBO'S clubs were bought by a VA Beach resident.......100 miles from us. Still en route after a week and currently in Charlotte NC! WTF? Why would the boxes leave the state of VA?

                      sdandrea1 Why do they even call it Priority Mail 2 day?

                      It's a crime, if you ask me.
