LBlack14 They send notice, not a link. You must sign in every time to see tracking number.

Through SS, you get notice with link. Click on link and it opens up the tracking at the site...UPS or USPS. No signing in.

Par4QC I don’t know what kind of postal zone you live in but mine is like LB’s. $$24.00 priority for a Hybrid is what I get out here too. I don’t ship anymore. I sell locally on Marketplace now.

I’m laughing at Fed Ex…. They are sending out my replacement TM driver head. It’s taking over 10 days. The tracker looks like Billy’s “wandering map” from The Family Circus.

    Sending a club to @backinit but didn't have a box as I thought I did. Could not locate a box in town, ordered one from USPS (tube they called it but a triangle box). The USPS website and Pirateship did not list the box. Tried USPS and listed the box size and had to use Ground Advantage but USPS said can't since box is marked Priority. Directed me to wrap the box as they said then Priority marking is used not the printed label I purchased online. Would not send Priority since not in their system although I ordered from them--took a week to get here. Too goofy. Hope it gets there.

    Bravopilot did not recognize the box

    Let me see if I can explain this properly.....

    Those triangular tubes do have 4 sides/dimensions.
    Looking at the end of the tube, you see 3 flat 'sides'.
    The 4th dimension is the flat end of the tube.......measure from the flat bottom to the ^ point at the top.....in a straight vertical line.

    Typically, the 3 flat sides are the same. So, when asked for the dimensions....measure length + 1 side + the vertical.
    And you are good to go!!

    BTW...this not 'The Rex" way....it is the USPS way.😅

      My Mom sent our Christmas gifts via USPS, signature required. Today I found the package sitting on the porch with the box damaged with a "We Care" note attached to it. The box was completely empty.

        That's when I call the news media and demand they come out.

        Before I become a part of the news they'll be reporting.

        A club I bought shipped on the 4th. Delivery is currently "delayed" with no estimated delivery date available...

          I sent a package KY to Oregon on the 9th to be delivered on the 13th. No tracking updates since the 13th and it just says it's late and on the way. I took some flat rate boxes to the USPS today and chatted with the USPS clerk and she told me that there are several of the larger USPS sort centers that are totally jammed up.

          I just noticed no mail to Canada due to a strike there. Fire the mother fuckers. And fire the striking Amazon workers affiliated with the Teamsters. I wonder if they remember when the air traffic controllers went on strike and Reagan fired every single one of them. 😡

          USPS at it again. I was late getting some packages out to the grands and mailed some small flat rate priority boxes on Fri. the 20th. One was going to the Boston area and was showing delivery by the 23rd. It went from my PO to Lexington 30 miles east. Then the next day to Louisville which is 50 miles west. Today it back in Lexington again.. So much for getting there by Christmas.
