Has anyone ever been waiting for vapemail, stalked the USPS tracking page, it shows it departed the sort facility in my city this morning at 4 30am and before I went out this evening that's all it said, then when I got home tonight it had updated to delivered but.... I have no juice in my mailbox! I checked twice!!! Where is my juice?!?!:mad::mad::confused::cry:

Yeah, I was expecting several vapemail packages one day. Showed "out for delivery". Mail usually arrives around noon. Was checking mailbox about every half hour until about 5, when I gave up. Around 8:30 the neighbor knocked on my door with my packages. I don't think USPS has ever "accidentally" delivered my mail to a neighbor except when it was vapemail. This is a dangerous game you play, mailman.

Ha!

Put yourselves in our shoes here in Australia. Once our packages leave the US no tracking is available..... I have an order coming that left California 27th December, and no one can tell me where it is.

USPS tracking simply says 'Depart USPS Sort Facility'. So now it is a guessing game as to when it will get here.

LOL, yes, we are very spoiled. The 2-5 day wait is painful enough. The stocking game we get to play is great. It builds the anticipation. Not one misstep by the USPS goes unnoticed, and I curse the vapemail god every time. A day later all is made well when the package is delivered, and I place a drop of my finest e juice in the mailbox as a sacrifice to remain in good favor. Then I fill a tank and reap my blessing.

Sometimes when it says delivered, it shows up a day later. The regular route carrier has a day off during the week because she works Saturday. When the fill in carrier does the route, he leaves all the packages and flyers in the pick-up box to make his bag lighter. Then she has all that extra weight to carry the next day. Happens all over the country everyday.

I love it when my parcel goes from the main sorting facility to a regional facility in another state and then comes back to my local PO that is less than a mile from the original sort facility. This is why the USPS needs to be privatized. Run it like a real business and it will become profitable. Unfortunately it will cost $1.50 for a 1 ounce first class stamp.

Yeah over here it goes all the way to Providence, just to come back to this state, up the street.

Yup, mine goes from Boston to Nashua NH and then back to Boston again. A lot of this has to do with a mind set in Government since the 1980's. Whatever the computer says has to be right. Government computer networks are old, outdated and were faulty to begin with. Anyway I'm getting OT and the OP wants his stuff and he wants it NOW! Call your local PO and accuse them of mismanagement,

Oh BTW, Homeland Security wants us to disable JAVA. I don't think so.

I've had the post problem. Tracking says it is in transit, I go hum Ok be her tomorrow...get home and find the package. The 2 problems I’ve had is after I moved, I forgot to change shipping address on one order and it went to old address...spent a week finding me. Also had 1 vendor put too little postage on a package...and it played ping pong ball for a week between sort facilities.
