Yeah USPS has gotten bad.. Just wait until they finally decide to stop delivering mail on Saturdays like they've been talking about for the past few years.

Yea I have heard about that for awhile now! Oh well nothing we can do.

On another note, thank you chad for the fast response and fixing this for me!

I've been ordering for over a year. EVERY TIME I've had an issue with my delivery has been the fault of USPS NOT V4L.

They may not get every order exactly right either but they always fix it.

Keep the perspective.

vape On!

My experience as well. I've never had anything left out of an order, but I did have some faulty items. I sent them back and V4L sent out replacements before they received the defective products. USPS on the other hand... ugh.

"...you being in CA would be understandable, but me in GA and oh been here since may since that determines my shipping order and all, does."

Huh?

it was a reply to his comment, basically him saying that me being on the forums has to do with some thing how USPS ships and i was being sarcastic to him.

No the first package is a goner in another country and the second is still saying elk grove, I think someone there is just throwing packages to the side and into the wrong bin...

When we are not out working storm disasters in other states, my hubs drives semi through an independent company hired by the US mail ...in other words he drives the mail from Madison WI to a few hubs in IL.
He has stated many times that Elk Grove (which is a place he delivers and picks up often) is one of the most unorginized hubs he has ever seen, so what you just said does not surprise me in the least.

Now I'm a bit sadder knowing my package still is most likely there for the second time and might for a second time be shipped to god knows where (face-to-palm)

I'm noticing all of my hangups are happening in Elk Grove, though, too... it's not just you. Last order came two days later than I would have expected based on prior shipments, because it was sitting in Elk Grove forever.

What's especially frustrating for me is living in Ohio, anything I order that comes via USPS from anything west of, or around, the Chicago area goes right past me to another sorting hub in PA, before it comes to another major hub for Ohio, then local. Surprisingly, all of those steps happen really efficiently... once it hits Chicago. All of my holdups are happening when it sits in Elk Grove for two or three days before moving to PA.

This is how sad Elk Grove is...
Hubs had a drop off and a pick up there last week.
He dropped off and got loaded.
The "supervisor" came by and asked him if he was loaded and ready to go, he said yes, she said ok I will be back shortly to sign you out.......45 min later, he starts talking to other drivers waiting to be "signed out" (some have been waiting for over 2 hours) hubs goes in the hub and finds out she LEFT FOR THE DAY!!!
She just left, and left about 7 semis there waiting.... all with deadlines!
And if they are late leaving a hub guess who pays the fine? Us thats who, the USPS is fined $100's everytime they hold up a shipment, this happens all the time.
