this sucks -- usps

I think the mailman lost about 37 cigars I sent someone. I took it to the apc and deposited in the drop box. was sent dec. 6th and they still haven't shown up. nothing comes up on the usps site when I type in the dc#, but that is to be expected. please someone tell me that it is just taking a little longer to get there due to the holidays. :angerhead

p.s. destination is illinois

Jorge, DWAVS sent me some P2s that took 7 days to get from Virginia to Alaska. I realize that I'm in the middle of fucking nowhere but still, 7 days?

 

[williegstyles]

I would be willing to bet that the delay is due to the holidays.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

bj,

did he send them via priority mail?

 

[williegstyles]

How did you send your sticks?...i.e. priority,express or delivery confirmation.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

priority mail with delivery confirmation. the dc# isn't pulling up anything from their website.

 

[williegstyles]

In that case it should have only taken 3-4 days max....holiday time inc...i would suggest that you contact your local post office and request to speak with the postal manager...they have a tracking form that may help you out.

The mail has gotten incrediably slow over the last 2 weeks, so it being late is not surprise.

FYI for everyone; if you drop a package off at the Post Office in a drop box the DC# will most likely NOT get entered into the system until it is delivered. It is not the policy to do it this way but most Post Office branches ignore the DC# until delivery unless you gave it to someone at the counter.

Jorge, it was sent via Priority Mail. Still took a week.

 

[scottsins]

how come no one is asking why Jorge is sending all these cigars to other people we don't know??????

 

[Legends of the Playground]

I thought the same thing. Illinois?

 

[scottsins]

just figured it out, I think. jorge had some bet with a White Sox guy on CW that involved sending a specified amount of smokes, depending on how many games it took for the series to be won. With the sweep, he owed a bunch.

 

[scottsins]

how come my avatar just changed to the one that willegstyles uses?

that was really weird.

 

[scottsins]

and willie's is now Viper139's.

No, you're just drinking to much eggnog

 

[scottsins]

i hate eggnog, but I'll drink it if there's enough booze in it.

 

[Legends of the Playground]

i hate xxx, but I'll drink it if there's enough booze in it.

That's pretty much my motto in life.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

not the white sox bet, that was like two months ago. I set us up the bomb.

I set us up the bomb.
