I had a DC that showed delivering 5 days after it actually arrived at my door...

 

[ironpeddler]

Oh stop....they had a few extra seats on those planes ...it got there, right? :laugh:

I just experienced the new click and ship site for the first time. Talk about making me want to stand in line...

I just had a package being shipped from MD to Pa go through Washington state. I called to question the delay and route, you would have thought I was calling another country. They acted like this was a non issue.

The new Post Office motto, "If it works, fix it till it pisses everyone off and they stop using it"

The USPS has the potential to be a complete goldmine. Unfortunately, we have the government behind the realm, who generally have limited (if any) business experience. Shame to see them going down hill so rapidly.

Exactly, the government is not able to run business!!!!

How dare you sir.. The Government has done an amazing job of running business.... into the ground. (Hey its a direction at least)

A perfect example of how amazing our government is:
The penny costs 2.41 cents to make
The nickel costs 11.18 cents to make
http://economywatch....-penny-say-what

Isn't that what any business strives for, to make products and sell them for over a 100% loss??

I love it, you didn't even mention social security or medicare.

Yep, I concur. However, let's be mindful of our no politics discussion before this turns into a heated conversation, which it very easily has the potential to do.

Great point. I suggest issuing a ban warning to the guy who brought up government in the first place.

...no, the expected delivery date is the middle of next month...!!! That's four freaking weeks to ship a little package from NJ to WA..!!

BBS - consider this a warning. Another mess-up like this, and I'll ban you.

Moe - Thanks a lot for catching this one. I don't know what I'd do with you. :thumbs:

Sorry Rod, I was just agreeing with you my friend.

Probably lose the eye twitch and have less headaches? Just guessing based on the assumption you meant "without" me.

I'm sorry to Rod.. I will try and stick to razzing Gooch and licking my beads

At least you've got the order correct.

 

[Rod]

Sorry Moe, must have been a Freudian slip, as they say. :laugh:
