Seriously, USPS?????

[Darth Skirata]

So, savvy consumer that I am, I placed an order during the free shipping, 12% off sale back last week, on the 3rd.

I live in Massachusetts, and V4L is in IL, so I usually get my order on the 2nd business day. This morning, I went ahead and tracked my order, because I was little concerned when it didn't come yesterday, as this would have been the typical delivery date.

As of this morning, the 8th, the order that I placed on the 3rd is in beautiful, sunny Puerto Rico.

June 3rd + Free Shipping - June 8th X Puerto Rico = USPS EPIC FAIL

Dont worry it will be there soon.Sometimes it just takes the scenic route,lol!

Maybe USPS decided that Puerto Rico is a "hub" now. Goes there then to your main PO then to your local branch. Then if the carrier person feels like it they will deliver it the next day (or not).

Think something was entered wrong on usps' end Darth Skirata sir... Don't see how that route even comes close to making sense.....

Maybe they had a part-time fill in that day they usually have them temp,,,,, I was told (whisper to me) that they have Mr. Bing working there. J/K

Now THAT'S funny!

Several years ago, a postal worker put the petal to the metal and drove through our garage door and into our garage. He destroyed the door, ripped off all the rails and springs for the door - including the supporting trim, totaled my 8 horse Toro snowblower, destroyed our poolside furniture (table, chairs, and umbrella), did over $1,500 damage to my 18 horse Toro riding mower, as well as numerous small things. If all that stuff hadn't been there to slow him down, he would have ended up in the middle of our house. As it turns out, the driver was a barely-English speaking immigrant who the Mundelein, Illinois post office contracted with to deliver mail when our regular driver didn't show up for work. They had him sit in the passenger seat of his own car and try to work the pedals on the drivers side. Methinks he panicked and stomped on the gas instead of the brakes and the more the car lurched, the harder he stomped. Fortunately I was home at the time as he was getting ready to drive away.

I'm not posting this to hijack your thread but to let you know that it can always be worse - far worse, lol. Good luck with getting your juice. It should be well rested and ready to go when you get it!

On a good note, if it's juice, maybe it'll relax extra-well down there and steep straight to a heavenly draw.

Nevermind, I can't think of anything good to come from this. But it would bring a whole new dimension to the phrase "stalking the mailman" for me.

Hope you get it soon!!!

I would tell them to leave it there. and go get it. I would love to vape in sunny Puerto Rico.

Its because USPS stands for United Stated Puerto Rico Service....

 

[DawnsFolly]

Oh no! At least it's somewhere sunny. One of mine sat in Denver for a few days (USPS explained that sometimes the truck needs to make another stop first) and another came to Florida via Alaska. Let V4L know so they can help you out. Girlfriend & I have ordered quite often & it's only happened twice so it's really not bad. Now I NEVER wait til I'm out before ordering.

[GIMike]

Man, that got to puerto rico pretty quick then. I wonder if it would be cheaper than plane tickets to crate myself up with some food/water and mail myself there. If its only a couple days....I could do that
