priority mail STILL SUCKS

03-29-2002, 12:56 PM

yes another day has gone by and still no pony express package from houston. i called the post office to track my "2-3 day priority mail" and was told it wasn't lost at all. that it's only been 3 days and that it would probably show up in a day or 2. how sweet. i asked then why not just say "priority mail takes 2 to 5 days instead" and she said i just didn't understand.

well i understand this...next time i'll use fed ex or ups. this crap sux and has put a major dent in my friggin' holiday weekend.

thank god they weren't vital transplant organs.

but really, i ordered this stuff monday and it takes over a week for delivery? that's insane.

Before you go "postal" you might want to check the date your package was actually sent when you get it. Yes I agree if it went out on Monday it should be to its location by now. However I have shipped maaaaaaannnnnnny of packages USPO pirority mail and knock on wood never had one lost and almost always arrives less the 4 days.

I will still use them. I especially like the small free boxes.

UPS and FEDEX works but costs! I shipped a Luger to Illionois to Frank Cromer and another one to HAWAII yesterday and both are delivered. They cost around $40 to ship, but it really is worth it! Thor

Wining and crying won't make it get there faster. Just wait and next time use UPS or FEDEX.

it's kinda ironic some of you are willing to pay huge amounts on a grown-up toy, yet too cheap to fork over the extra cash to have it sent priority overnight.

i've only brought 2 guns, one from ralph and the other from a guy in vermont - both were overnight. i guess i expect too much from mankind at times. last words on the subject, i promise.

If you want fast Use express mail. You will get express survice. It costs more but a lot less than others. Thanks Bob
