Title: USPS stuck in snow?
Post by: playwitslotmachines on February 18, 2013, 11:43:22 PM
I bought a part about a month ago and I haven't received it yet. It was shipped by USPS First Class Mail, no tracking number, I do believe and I waited for a whole month hoping it would come through. I called the post office in our area but I couldn't get a hold of them after I called them three or four times. I would thought it got lost in the mail and I went on the Canada Post website and created an online service ticket but I'm hoping it would work. I had my other parts arrived about a week or two later but this is the first time it happened. Any tips or ideas what the possible cause?

When I bought two key chips and two clear chips from a fellow NLG member it arrived within two weeks. It's been a month and my DSV hasn't arrived yet. ouch! I bought a Cigar kit and it's going to be shipped by FedEx.

A few months back I sent a package to Germany using USPS "Priority International".  Was told it would take 2 weeks to 3 weeks tops.  After 4 weeks I finally call them with a "what's up?".  This was of course a waste of time as there only reply was "we are not responsible after it leaves the border" and "likely it is hung up in customs".  Well the package finally showed up 9 WEEKS later....never again would I use USPS for international shipping.  A few weeks after that I shipped again to Germany using FedEx.  Package made it through customs and delivered in 3 days total.

 :37- :37- this has been longer than i expected, I still haven't got the memory module yet and it's been like almost a month and a half. I tried sending an email to USPS but it's a real hair-puller :277- trying to give the information. Like my postal code, but usps asks for a Zip code :279- :25- :25- :25- :25- :25- , they had little service or nothing for International mail. wish me luck :71-

Maybe USPS First Class Mail wasn't the best option....lesson learned....pay for Priority or the equivalent....especially for smaller parts.

I agree with you CVslots. If I bought beer from Vegas it would be warm by the time it arrives to where I live

Yeah, I'd say...just not worth it...especially for smaller stuff. Sometimes it's fine, but if you're at all needing/wanting it, just pay for it...

Another NLG member who drives the semis for USPS stole it and it's now being used in said persons game room :)

I hope your parts show up and the package isn't shredded by the severely ass backwards United States Postal Service.
