So I bought something off ebay. It is coming from Boston area to Eastern TN. Take a look at the tracking information I've been receiving for the package. It appears it left Mass. on the 17th and passed right by Tenn. so it could make a visit to the Orlando, FL area, only to go back up north to Elk Grove Village IL. Do you find that to be as fucked up as I do?

Yep. If a letter or package gets sent in our area, originating in town to an address in town, it still goes through Portland.

Seems like i see “ USPS”, which would explain the problem. Our tax dollars ping ponging parcels from one far flung local to the next extreme all for the sake of their sick libtard amusement. Maybe in a couple weeks after traveling the circumference of the earth it will arrive in pieces. I figured out the hard way its poor manners to trust the us governmen’s so called “ postal service” for anything.

Thank Dejoy that was appointed during the last administration. I used to send packages prioriy to my son in the dakotas. Used to be 2 days from northern Illinois. Now they go through northern California only adding a few more days. Same with Kenosha 50 miles away. I'd have packages go from kenosha(55 miles) to elk Grove (15 miles from me),then u turn back to kenosha and start over.

and why the boxes arrive in such nice shape.
The Wife bought the kid a new mircowave for Jesus's B-Day (not AMC's Jesus.) Couldn't get it in the stores, had to order online. The Box shows up with a big ol' patch on the side and these people make a good hourly rate to do a Chimp's work.

LMAO you guys are lucky...I watch packages go everywhere before they even make it across the border and then the tracking goes dark until a beaten up package ends up on your doorstep.

It seems they have engineered commerce to be E-trade and online sales, so everything is shipped now, nothing is from a good ol fashioned store. There are hundreds of huge warehouses in my area now, i see them around the interstate crossroads corridors of I-20,I-35,I-45,hw67, 287, all the major routes are lined with big big warehousing and shipping transit hubs. It appears they want all commerce to go through the mail and nothing is sold at a small business level. And since i usually get stuff in the mail in parcels, it has really focused the USPS, is by far the worst common carrier. Everything arrived destroyed and takes forever to arrive. If you stroll around just about anywhere with google earth you can see the massive infrastructure buildup of warehouses lining key routes all over the country. They are serious about eliminating storefront commerce and small business sales.

I think they are sucking us all into e-trade. When its the only game in town they will start gouging for stocking shipping returns surcharges on minimal purchases and fees for every cocievable thing they can dream up and we will pay more for everything.

LMAO you guys are lucky...I watch packages go everywhere before they even make it across the border and then the tracking goes dark until a beaten up package ends up on your doorstep. I just had the same thing happen, but came from Canada! I ordered a steel T10 front bearing retainer from Ron Fawthrop in Nova Scotia instead of buying one off ebay, because I like Ron. He received my check Nov 7th, shipped it usps on Nov 9th. It made it to NY on Nov 13th, then sat there "proccessing" for over a month. It then made it to Atlanta for a few weeks, then disappeared from tracking. It showed up on my porch 2 months after Ron shipped it. Only problem is, the box was ripped open and empty. I immediately drove to the post office in town where I was accused of opening it myself. The manager looked into it and found it was not insured. I filed a missing item claim online, and got a reply that their "investigation" shows the package was delivered. No $hit... I called Ron, and he felt bad. He's sending another through a different carrier and said if the first one ever shows up, just return it to him. Hopefully he puts fkn insurance on it this time. I should have went the eBay route I guess.

Usps strikes again. Most unreliable shipping bar none.
