don't feel too bad. I've been waiting on a package of 2 SMALL injector return fittings for over a week. They just left MI today, and they were turned in to that post office over a week ago.
I f'n HATE the usps, never again will I use them. This isn't the first time either.

I have a room temperature refrigerator that needs (pretty darn sure) a compressor starter solenoid. Had it shipped overnight on the 21st. Still not here....at least it's in the right state now.


Dear Fed Ex,
Please deliver my part tomorrow. And please give me my 29 bucks or whatever back.

Thanks,

It takes 4 days from IN to CA, we are off until the 28, then work 28, 29,30 and off again until the 4th.:hug:

Maybe you will get lucky though and It will show up on the 30th, cross your fingers, but I wouldnt get your heart set on it.

Fed Ex has a policy of total refund on nothing. I payed big $ to have something overnighted from Guy and payed extra to have it here by 9:00AM. It showed up around 1 after i drug my hungover ass out of bed at 9 in the morning. I called them and said I refused to pay the extra amount that was suposed to have it here by 900AM but I would pay standard overnight, and they said they couldn't do that. So I spoke with a supervisor and they also said they couldn't do that but they would give me a total refund:rofl:

Christmas should normally only delay the package one day. I'll bet you see it on Wednesday. PM me the tracking number.


Just how many UPSer's do we have here now? :rofl:

Anthony, I stand corrected.
Im sorry, but the Jan 4th estimate is correct.
Package is certainly on its way from Indy, but feeders dont run today and I highly doubt they'll run tomorrow, so you'll lose two days of transit time, plus we only work three days next week due to NewYears.
Since your package is coming UPS Ground, it would normally take 4 days across country, which puts it square in the timeframe of our days off.
This week is the worst week to ship items ground due to the holidays. The only way to ensure you get something between the holidays is to ship it Next or 2nd day air.

Sorry.

Hey, I have been waiting my 3800 USD parts few months now. They have been paid long time ago. When order was ready I send shipping label to seller, week after that it was shipped, now parts have been 8 days in US customs because of some paper is missing.
I am so ****ing happy.:thumb:

You guys are too young to remember the bad old days when shipping times were measured in weeks & months, not days.

Ive had good luck with UPS and FedEx:thumb:

USPS on the other hand..... Ib be better off sending/reciving my packages by strapping them to any random animal and hope it gets somwhere:mad: If they didnt lose my packages, they arrive way way late and or look like they'ed been trampled by 10,000 elephants:mad::rofl: I'll avoid USPS at all cost for any mail besides a letter. Perhaps its a Kansas area issue?

Somtimes my UPS/FedEx stuff comes early....Thats awsome:thumb:
