Drop USPS All Togather

[geekdgirl]

I must preclude this by *knocking on wood* but I have been pretty lucky and every time I've used USPS it's been fine. The tracking is not the most reliable but my packages do arrive on time and in one piece...

I sure hope you ordered your Inferno attys and tanks via Fed Ex now...... you know USPS will lose them in the black hole now that you said that.

I did..though I think USPS should honor those of us that speak of them without ill will

Yes I have had my fair share of run ins with the USPS black hole of doom. Somethings are still in there and others have resurfaced.Some have been missing for months, and some have shown up as mangled empty packages, with little notes saying sorry. One even had a boot print still on it.

These stories always give me a little shiver...

all the more reason for a "better safe than sorry" approach now, lol

Really? There is a company i have ordered from several times from China (granted, not for e-cig items but all the same) and they CONSISTENTLY got every order i made with them to my house in 4 days or less (for $11 bucks shipping cost from China to Oregon, TOTALLY worth it). hows that for shipping time/distance? It can be done people, and should.

Man.. wish I could find a e-cig/electronics supplier in China that was that fast. I've never had a China order take less than 2 weeks to arrive.. ok maybe one day less if I use EMS. Maybe it's the e-cig companies that get slammed by customs more than others. ;( Most of my orders are for electronics though.. batteries.. chargers, misc. electronics.

Lol! If I ever get a package from USPS that has a boot print on it with the items damaged/missing I would probably blow a gasket. The local postal guys would hate me from that day on. In general, other than slowness, they do a decent job in my neck of the woods.

Funny thing.. I've had a couple packages in limbo the last few days but it's been snowing and sleeting for days here. This last weekend I shoveled, salted, and cleared my drive, sidewalk, and the path to my sidewalk really nice.. low and behold 4 packages including the missing ones showed up today. ;P

They've probably been riding around in the truck and the carrier just didn't want to pack em up to the house in 2 feet of snow and ice lol.

yeh the company i had that great experience with wasnt an ecig supplier, its was an online yoyo store. yes, when im not vaping or trolling the forum i am yoyoing

OH I did blow a gasket man, I was escorted out of the post office by 3 mail men. Think that was added to my permanent FBI file as well. Funny thing ever since then there has been a security guard at my post office now. The boot print one did get resolved a few days later by phone and I got everything in that order replaced for free on USPS's dime, even though only one thing was missing and 2 were broken. out of all the 15 things in the box. And I got to keep everything from the first one. So that was a nice plus.

Suck em dry AB. I think USPS is hanging around solely for the purpose of those AFO and PO box members. Some dont have a choice to get their own mailbox and must register a PO or the individual is in the forces and has to us USPS to get their orders.

you have to remember its a gubamint section.....I have yet to see a worker hussle whenever I am in to mail/ship anything off...and they look at the line and think....I may have to slow down or else I might actually get these folsk outa here in a timely manner...

and the more issue they can show...the easier it will be for them to make a claim that a raise in rates are in order....man I am not getting paid enough to do my job moving these orders....etc.....
