Dearest V4L leadership;
On March 15th, my V4L order was shipped out via USPS First Class International mail, for which I was charged $25. I was quoted a 2-4 week delivery time by Valerie and informed that USPS doesn't provide tracking numbers for this type of shipment. Today is the final day of the 2-4 week delivery period, and my package hasn't arrived (of course, the day isn't over yet!.
The purpose of this thread is to suggest an option that is better than paying $25 for 4 week delivery with no tracking number, and that option is provided by the very same shipper: USPS.
The option I'm talking about is USPS Priority Mail International, using a Priority Mail® International Medium Flat Rate Box. The size of the box is 11" X 8.5" X 5.5", so even very large orders would likely fit inside. Delivery takes a mere 6-10 days, and a tracking number is provided. It only costs about $17 more than the shipping V4L currently uses.
I would absolutely pay 17 extra dollars for 6-10 day shipping with a tracking number. Absolutely. And I would certainly end up smilin'. Also, I'm sure V4L would like to be able to track its own international shipments as well.
So, what do y'all think about my idea?
