On Dec. 3rd, I ordered a pair of Nikon binocs, as a Christmas present, for my son.....got a tracking number the next day, and never heard another word about the shipment....no info. whatsoever on the tracking until yesterday.....the binocs are in New Jersey, but are on the way.....brings a whole new meaning to the words, "Pony Express".....WTF !!!

We had the same thing happen to a number of packages. The tracking just all the sudden ceased and now we wre getting packages delivered this week that we ordered weel in advance of Christmas.

It wasn’t perfectbut it sure wasn’t this effedup until this asshole Postal guy fixed it.

I ship via USPS ... a LOT ... and generally don't have any major complaints. In the past couple of months though, they have been falling flat on their faces. The Christmas rush was the worst I've ever seen it and they were almost worthless. Maybe it's a ruse to ask the government for more bail-out money and a good excuse for another of their endless rate increases. Lately, I've been getting packages delivered with UPS and FedEx GROUND, faster than USPS Priority Mail. I print a label and they tell me I've purchased 2-3 day delivery, depending on where it's going. Ha! I've had crap floating out there for 2-weeks at a time!

Here's a present example (she wanted delivery by Christmas). Come on guys, I could have delivered this on my frigging bicycle by now! It's only going from Florida to Maryland for fuck sakes! I shipped it on the 16th and it's STILL not there, although delivery was promised on the 19th. (read from bottom to top) Note: As of this morning it's in Hampstead. It's going to Upperco, MD! How many frigging post offices does it have to go through in Maryland before it makes it there?? So far it's been to DISTRICT HEIGHTS ... HYATTSVILLE ... EASTON ... LINTHICUM HEIGHTS and HAMPSTEAD! Surely UPPERCO will be next ... ya' think?

Well, she hasn't gotten it YET! It's simply "out for delivery". The postal carrier still has a chance to screw this up. Keeping my fingers crossed here.

Done deal! :thumbsup
