I have been waiting forever for my fast tech order. It said shipped on Dec 10th and today I got something saying it shipped in 2 parts. I have not been able to track the 1st part even after 9 days. I was tracking a beauty ring for my Provari and it finally said delivered/left notice. Only there was no notice! Once I called the USPS they told me it had been there for 2 days and didn't know why I never got the card to come pick it up. I just today received my daughters kindle fire that shipped on Dec 9th. I am still waiting on a J wrap that shipped 6 days ago. The last 2 Jwraps I ordered came in 2 days. It's maddening I tell you! I feel a lot better now that the kindle arrived. It was the one and only thing my 9 yr old daughter asked for. My fast tech order has Christmas stuff in it that I just know will never make it in time :(

I am Druish, so I wouldn't know about the whole feeling Christmasy thing. :p

But seriously....USPS is flaky around this time of the year because of the increased amount of mail and the temp carriers they hire to deal with it. Just yesterday, I had a package for which tracking showed a "Notice Left." Well, there was no notice, so I printed out a copy of my tracking info and headed to the post office to pick up the package. When I got there, I was told that the temp carriers were labeling shipments as "Notice Left" for no reason, and that my package was on the truck and being delivered that day. Sure enough, it showed up a few hours later.

Sure, it's aggravating, but your packages will get to you. Just don't count on tracking being 100% accurate.

Tongue-in-cheek me wants to say: No, because everything taking so long to receive, every year, at this time, reminds me of the season! When I want to feel Christmas-y in June, I place an order at Fasttech.

Cynical me wants to say: There are other, faster, shipping options ya cheapskate!

Apologetic me wants to say: Sorry for Cynical me's kurtness.

I too have a package from FT being shipped the same day. Who knows where the heck it is.

I don't feel any less Christmasy because I didn't trust FT with xmas gifts. In fact I ordered a few more Christmas presents today and it made me smile.

Also won mega millions........... well I got 1 number and the yellow ball - so won 2 bucks!

I get it ... and that is why I didn't order anything for Xmas from FT.... although I am dying to, but I will flatline if I have to wait three weeks for a package. My last orders from FT in October were delivered in 8 days, but since they are still trying to get sorted from HKPgate, I am not so sure I can count on the same delivery times.

I have little confidence with the USPS. My neighbors and I are constantly getting each others mail and packages and have to deliver to their final destination ourselves.

I've cut and pasted the latest from the USPS site and unless I'm mistaken, today is Dec, 18th. Mail was delivered at 2:15 PM today but the package wasn't. The crap advertising stuff was there tho. I believe I could do better after a frontal lobotomy.

I suppose the good part is that it isn't shown as being delivered yet.
