Damned Pos Office

Last month I ordered some steel targets.  They were shipped promptly and the company sent me a tracking notice.  No complaints with the company.

The US Post office says they've been in transit for two weeks now.  With no updates.

Two weeks?  Really?  C'mon, guys, you gotta do better than that.

Tell me about it...........

I had a flashlight that sat in St Louis for 5 days. And a holster that took 4 days to get from Shreveport to Alexandria.

I had the exact thing happen to me with some prescription Meds. Express Scripts shipped them the day after ordering, DHL received them in Houston the next day and handed them off to USPS that afternoon. No status update for three weeks. Fortunately, Express Scripts allowed me a one time refill from a local pharmacy. Finally they arrived a month after I ordered. This is not the only time similar things happen with our mail. Living in the country, we have a contract postal deliverer. Most times we never get the orange package available notice when we've ordered something. We've had packages returned to Amazon because we never knew they'd arrived. Lately a lot of vendors have posted a window of 2-3 weeks for product shipping, so you never know if the product has arrived and waiting at the post office, or hasn't shipped yet. I get pretty terse when the postal clerk asks for my delivery slip. I might even use some harsh language.
