Remind me again why USPS is struggling?

I live in the Milwaukee area as well and mine usually goes from Oak Creek to my house, sounds like they screwed up. Couldn't tell you why, maybe they need a PV instead of whatever they are currently using. LOL

Hope it doesn't go back to Racine Could be an endless cycle.

Same here. Goes from Oak Creek to my house the next day.

Unfortunately, mistakes do happen sometimes - at least they caught it before it went halfway accross the nation or something. I don't know where its destination is, but it would appear the package left out on route, hit Racine, WI - was tagged as an incorrect route and sent on it's way back... Depending on how many Hubs there are in certain cities, a package will actually arrive at the 'main' hub, go to another one - and that location is the one designated for 'ok all packages from this place get packed on the truck that leaves for city x'.

It sucks, but when you are the busiest shipping company in the world, with the least funding and you are understaffed pretty often - I am actually amazed it works out as well as it does!!

Hope you get your stoofs soon!!

Take care,

mine said Electronic Shipping Info Received, October 14, 2009 for two days
and then magically it appeared in Kearny, NJ and was delivered on the 16th!
don't give up hope, I don't think they pdate the shipping info as often as UPS does
