USPS and ITCvapes is a JOKE

[johnny madman]

its very simple.USPC does not have enough 3 day priority mail
from that station to expedite it.

Oh? But they did take the money for the priority part did they not?

Oh and the wonderful customer support like waiting 30 minutes before talking to a human? Was that part of the shortage of priority mail at that location as well?

Was being brushed aside and almost told not to make a claim part of the shortage of staff at that location?

Was being told not to get back in touch with them in 4 business days but really 8 days total part of the shortage at the station as well?

How about the fact that it shows it departed that location? Now where is it? Is it being vaped?

Or it never left the station to begin with and they lied? Or is it really just being vaped?

After the horrid customer service they deserve nothing less!

After taking money for something that they can't possibly deliver nothing short of criminal. this is assuming you are right, because if you are right they are only more guilty.

You should have left it up to my theory instead. Let me say it again, The Post Office vaping all the mail instead of delivering it

Enjoy to vape folks.

Except that I paid for 2 day shipping which has thus far been in the USPS's "care" for 3 business days to ship something the size of an envelope >200mi all within CA.

Ha Ha

2 day mail, what the feck is the matter with you boy? Don't you know they are short staffed?



PS: mine has been held up since last Saturday! On top of that I'm in NJ they are in NY, 8 days now without moving an inch. But they took the money for 2 day mail did they not?

If your item ended up in Kearny, NJ that would explain lot. This facility is notoriously horrible....Anytime I have anything end up there it is late or lost. If not, disregard USPS still sucks though

 

[VHRB2014]

I feel your pain. I should be vaping on a new tobeco Hobo right now. It should have been here today, it was only 50 miles from me last night, and the next stop this morning should have been my PO box.

Instead, it is now 200 miles away from me in Calexico! Overnight it went 200 miles further away from me.

Until the American public says enough is enough, it will be business as usual at the good ole USPS. THEY SUCK!

When they ask for a federal bailout, call your Senator! Tell them to live within their means. Get rid of the money sucking UNION and tell them to suck it up!

If only they made a mistake and delivered it to your house, at least someone that is worthy would be vaping.

In reality I would be just a bummer had this been just normal lost mail...so what really. The problem is that this is just normal operations, and what is sad is that the Post Office is the oldest federal institution, and it has become a basket case. It is painful to have to wait on the phone, ok big deal so you wait, but then customer service is like antagonistic, they want to push you back and make you just go away. I'm sorry but I don't know any business that can do this and be a going concern. If you have an issue with a location and can't do 2 day mail then say you can only do 5 day mail. Not take the damn money for 2 day mail and take 9 days and still no mail. When I call at least fake caring about my issue, not be hostile. Not make me wait 30 minutes to talk to a robot designed to lead you in all directions except making a claim.

I have heard so many arguments about why we can't manufacture something. I have heard even more about why even if we manage to manufacture a lamp post is has to cost a million dollars. I frankly have given up on these arguments, but now we can't seem to even deliver mail?

We had better mail delivery when we had donkeys

I think this is who is playing with the VaporShark I ordered Dec 1.

 

[HiFi Guy]

Have you looked at the weather? I work in transportation and we have freight stuck in NY that was supposed to be in Florida yesterday. It's possible that the vendor can't make it into the office as well.

I wish I could like this post about 1,000,000 times. I am so utterly fed up with the USPS, I cannot even articulate my rage. Everything you said is 100% on the money. And at the prices they charge! I remember when it cost 5 cents to send a letter, and everybody had a hissy fit when it hit 6 cents, and back in those days of yore, if you didn't have a stamp, you could put the coins in the mailbox with your letter, and the postman would stamp it for you -- real service!

It needs to stop being a lifetime sinecure, working for the USPS, and become a meritocracy like the military -- if you don't do the job right, there are CONSEQUENCES, and you don't rise UNLESS you do something a lot BETTER than merely "right". If they're lazy, purposefully stupid, or incompetent, dock their pay! Bust 'em down a grade, which docks their pay permanently! Put 'em in the brig!

Wow! That is something put the change in the box....WOW!

I felt all this rage about the standards that I knew off, but man that is something. It is the death of Americana that is killing me more than anything else. But to leave the change int he mailbox business makes it more painful somehow.

I suppose we only want basic as the bare minimum at this stage and even that is lacking. I am not so ready to leave Americana behind, she is too sexy to let go so easily. Thank you for sharing, but in a way it just is grief. If only it took a million to fix her, so she could be right again.

Yes, everything has changed, and not all for the better. I'm 53, a child of the Space Age!, and by the end of my lifetime, I expect that many will not even remember what a "letter" is -- it will have to be explained as an email that you write on paper with ink and then send via that old communication service called the United States Postal Service, which is, alas, no longer in operation, due to incompetence, corruption, and sheer laziness. They will stupid themselves right out of existence.

PS: back when you could put the money for postage with the letter and the postman would handle it, you could also buy stamps from the postman, if you met him at the box. "Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end..."

Sigh ...

I can call the moo chums next Wends and bark on the phone. I am not dropping this, it is now more then 8 days going from NY to NJ.

On a side note, free shipping from Fasttech in 2 days they ship to USA, then you wait a month for it to be delivered.

8 days to go from NY to NJ and this is priority mail.

2 days from China, 8 days and counting from NY to NJ.

Who is going to Mars first? China or USA?

whomever goes to Mars first does not matter, my package will still arrive after we colonize mars

That's true about it taking longer once it gets into the US than it took to get here from the other side of the planet, SOMETIMES -- some of that is the fault of Customs. (but mostly USPS!)

I've found that if it comes in via FL, it processes Customs pretty fast -- then it takes the USPS in FL -- geriatric turtles, from all appearances -- twice as long to send it to you than it took to get to the US from ANYPLACE in the world. But if it comes in via NYC... good lord. Customs up there is apparently on a perpetual coffee break. Federal Holiday. ANYTHING but actually doing their job.

[Rickajho]

Miss understood you, and I stand corrected. With that said...

But to be fair I did say I am not ...... at ITC as much as the Post office so perhaps you did not read that, point is moot but still.
I support the OP in his pain. Dumping 70 bucks down the drain and being on and off the phone for hours with an unresponsive POST OFFICE is not cool. Just glad we don't have a stupid policy in place like I thought you meant. Also why does it seem to be happening with this vendor more then others?

No - it isn't. Several of us recently got thrown into a USPS tracking black hole with shipments from a vendor located in Illinois - which isn't exactly next door to Gouverneur NY. The packages all said they left the origin facility in IL... and then no tracking updates until after the delayed packages were delivered. It's hardly the vendors fault, and certainly not enough to create a vendor-USPS conspiracy over either. Just sounds like post holiday business as usual at USPS.

What killed me was after customs as you pointed out. It left New York City to go to New York City post office distribution center. About 20 miles or so away from Customs to the distribution center, it took 2 days to ship 20 miles. It stayed in this center for days without doing anything. Then it shipped to NJ and it stayed in NJ for god knows how many days before I got my paws on it. All these distances are like 20 minutes driving time. I am 20 minutes from NYC, the Post Office took more than a week to move a packet less than 20 miles. I suppose if we use this reference point, upstate NY is as far as Mars

That's the truly sad part of it all.

 

[toucandan229]

Thanks for all the replies everyone, and I wasn't trying to bash itc earlier. I was just generally frustrated since everybody I have tried to contact has ignored me. Aside from that they shipped exactly when they said they would and i trust its correct..I guess all I can do now is hope it's good and steeped by the time it gets here because I wont be waiting any longer IF it arrives...

 

[johnny madman]

People I want you all to discard everything I have said about waiting 8 days. I'm sorry but it is true please ignore this, it is my fault and I am so sorry. I forgot it is now Sunday 1.55 am Eastern time, it is now 9, I repeat 9 days and my package is still not here.

Sadly, there are some vapors out there on the internets thinking the USPS is specifically screwing with the vapemail.
And anecdotally, while I do allot of shipping and receiving for my biz every week, it is only my vapemail that get screwed up so bad, and so bloody often.

Am I paranoid? Well, when you have watched the other side and how they have dealt with a number of other top down integrity issues, its not so hard to believe its possible.
And then there is the post on this forum pointing to a well spoken, intelligent man, suggesting the ANTZ tenacity is born from outright hatred.
