Has anyone else noticed the USPS is reaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy slow?

[Burn_notice_fan_NY]

When you're waiting for something you want...they're really slow. Bills however come fast LOL!

I agree, but c'mon... Here in Cortland and saying out for delivery??? Haha. There are more houses on one street in the Cuse than there is in all of Cortland. No excuse! Haha. I seriously wonder if something happened to the postman with no mail at all in two days for anyone on my street.

I'm actually hoping they will be a little slow. I just ordered some new stuff at just after 3PM expecting it not to ship until tomorrow. I guess someone was a little busy body and got the parts out the door today. The problem is, I had it shipped to my job expecting to get it Monday or Tuesday, but now there's a possibility of it showing up on Saturday when no one is there.

I think usps is pretty fast, flat rate boxes get form ny to ca in 2 days. not bad imo! but i always seem to order vape mail on off days so i have to wait on the weekends haha

perhaps we are so spoiled by e-mail, and texting that we have become impatient to anything that isnt instantaneous

I use USPS three times a week shipping and receiving. I've had my issues with them, but shipping speed isn't my usual complaint.

95% of the time it's slow processing and handling time, hands down. When you order something Priority and it takes five days for them to get it to the Post Office, it makes two day shipping turn into nearly two weeks. Even non-priority packages from the other side of the country usually only take three days. Four days max. If you check your tracking and it says "Electronic Information Received," it just means a label was printed, but your items probably aren't even in the box yet. Holiday season was very bad this year though. Took things three weeks to ship after Christmas.

My typical USPS problems include: If it's raining or cold, my mail carrier won't deliver anything to the door and will instead mark it as "unable to deliver." Delivery to the wrong house several times. Crushing things to fit into the mailbox. Not picking up mail to be delivered.

I've had several instances when I would check tracking, and was notified it was delivered--and actually delivered 1 to 2 days later. Chalked that up to USPS customer service "making sure" your package is delivered on time. See, it says so right here! I have Flavor from Capella's at the PO because they just didn't deliver, and now I get to schlep down there and stand in line for what was paid for to be put in my mailbox!

I have found that Halo is extremely unreliable as far as getting the package to the Post Office the day they say they will

I usually order something at night, hoping it will go out next morning like they say it will here:

We do our very best to ship orders as quickly as possible. Orders received before 3:00PM EST on Monday - Friday are normally shipped the same day. Orders received before 11:30AM EST on Saturday are also typically shipped the same day. Any orders received after 11:30AM EST on Saturday are shipped first thing Monday morning. This schedule may vary slightly during extremely busy times such as sales events and holidays.

And first off I realize they say that they are normally shipped the same day, but I have ordered juice from them multiple times in the past couple months, and only once have they got it to the Post Office the day it was supposed to be. Of course they send you an e-mail the day it's supposed to go out saying it's been shipped, but all that means is they printed out a damn shipping label. Which is why my tracking info ends up saying nothing but "Electronic Shipping Info Received" for 24-48 hours

The last couple weeks I have been constantly looking for another place to get my ADV from, as I would like nothing more than to be able to never order from Halo again. Unfortunately I really like their Turkish Tobacco, and I'm pretty picky so I haven't found anything to replace it with

 

[fettyslaps]

normally get my usps vape mail within 3-4 days tops

 

[mare ze dotes]

I am all for the USPS. I have only good things to say. I would them more than FedX. FedX seems to be the McDonalds of parcels. They toss the package in your general direction.

 

[DEAc23]

I should have mentioned that I love USPS, 99% of my packages come on the Expected Delivery Date or sooner. I just don't like websites/vendors/sellers who don't ship as quickly as they say they do, like Halo. I've come to the conclusion that when they say:

We do our very best to ship orders as quickly as possible. Orders received before 3:00PM EST on Monday - Friday are normally shipped the same day.

What they really mean is:

We do our very best to ship orders as quickly as possible. Orders received before 3:00PM EST on Monday - Friday normally have a shipping label printed the same day so that it looks like we ship quicker than we actually do.

Halo stuff, you gotta order it when you're at the half way point to avoid the gap.
The evil gap where time is lost.
I really never knew how much mailmen went past my house each day until i started vaping..
It's like some road that saves all the mailmen time to all their routes..

it used to be like..

now it's like trying to quit smoking all over again..kk man have to take my mind off my vape mail addiction..

I know,Youtube!!

I think this is the fastest I've EVER gotten vapemail from FT - Hong Kong to Virginia in 5 days...

 

[snowsnee]

Once it took 15 days for a order. But most orders are fast now.
