suck ,,USPS,,,hopfully my coral make it by tomorrow:confused:
 
so it is sitting overnight in some storage facility..i hope they have plenty of heat packs to keep the corals nice and toasty.

:)
 
what a nightmare. these the frags from striker? wait this long and lose them to the lazy mail man:(
 
For frags, I've never used anything but FedEx Priority Overnight. I want to say that last frag pack I bought it was $65 for the service with Saturday delivery and it was early morning when it delivered. I think the frags were in the box less than 20 hours. I hope your frags get to you in good shape.

this is how bad they are:
just talked to USPS this morning,,thay said will try to deliver by 3pm today ,if i did n't see my package give them a call,,,

wow! what a suck service,,
 
usps sucks wanna know why?

Because it has a .gov after its website url.
The private sector is held accountable for sucking, whereas the government is not.
usps consistently sends mail back claiming my address is invalid when it is indeed not invalid. My last drivers liscense renewal took 4 attempts @ 20$ and a trip to the dmv for each
 
didn,t mean to add more salt on the wound ,,,this is what they told me this morning when i start to complained
;
we have letter and other stuffs to takecare and deliver too ,,not just the the package,so sorry,
is that really suck usps attitude???no pride
 
Ive said it many times, but I will say it once more.

If you want to GUARANTEE that your package does not get lost or arrive late:
Ship UPS, and insure the package for $1000.
It will cost you an extra $9, but the box is guaranteed to not get lost along the way(and be late). This is because UPS has a whole separate system around tracking packages over $1000, and drivers are all personally responsible for packages worth over $1000(as in if they lose it, they are out $1000), so you can guarantee that they wont lose it, or leave it sitting around so it doesn't make its destination.

I say this as someone who used to work at a UPS store for a year in a half, and I never once saw a $1000+ package get lost or arrive late.
