Default gotta love the post office

I bought a set of jugs off of Abnmarine on 2/11. He sent them outto me on 2/12 through the post office. Can you believe the things just arrived today on 3/06? Guess all the jokes you hear about the PO are true after all. I could have walked to Abs house and back quicker. LOL

On a positive note....I use them all the time on E-Bay [however I use Priority Mail] and I have had great service from them, usually only 2 to 3 days on anything shipped.

I can understand misplacing an envelope or 2 but this was a pretty big box. Can't figure out how it was misplaced for 3 weeks. Someone had to be tripping over it for the last few weeks. The package was sent parcel post with delivery confirmation.

That is why I always use USPS Priority service........2-3 days delivery.

I hate it when people use regular 1st class service, it takes forever to get your stuff. And the price difference between the 2 services is so small that it only makes sense to use Priority.

Folks,
I'm not in Love with Priority Mail. It will get there, in just a few days, along with the other stuff that fits into a couple of standard size boxes that can weigh up to 70 lbs. Their rules. Don't ship your favorite fragiles.
