Orderd a 510 and PCC from Innovapors-they have been behind which I completely understand-BUT tracked it this morning and it shows at my local USPS as of yesterday, and out for delivery. So I am leaving for out of town for a week and waiting and waiting and waiting so I can bring it with me.

Sometimes my mail gets here at 10AM, sometimes at 5PM, sometimes at 1PM, well you get the point. Of course today since I need it and have plans, my mail is still not here. I like not spending a lot on shipping, but at least UPS has accurate tracking and you can count on getting your orders.

Really don't like the USPS lately...

I feel yer pain.
USPS also does the same thing here. Heck sometimes I get things that need a signuture on it and even though I am home they will leave a note in my box for me to goto their site and signe and pick it up.GRRRRRRR
Be patience danial sun it will soon arrive

Just got mine from innovapor and ur right the USPS sucks... You'll love ur 510 once you get it

The tracking page on USPS sucks but as far as service with Priority, I think it's the best out of all of them. I ordered a 510 from esmokeytreats on Thursday afternoon and I'm sitting here smoking it now. How can it get better than that for $5 shipping charge.

Got mine today too, Brian. They were late in getting it out but you're right the USPS tracking really threw me off - I expected it this coming Wednesday...

Our usual postman comes around 9:30-10am, but especially in the summer, they switch around routes a lot due to vacations, etc. On those days, the mail runs very late--closer to 5pm.

When it is someone other than out regular postman, they *never* leave a package that need signing for--they just leave a note and drive on.

Once (not for an e-cig) I was waiting for the package and watching for him through the 'window. When he just put letters in the box, I thought my package hadn't come, but there was the darned notification. I was really honked because it was a large, heavy package, and I had to go get it

I do wish the fill-ins would at least come to the door and knock...

But, for the times when the mail is running normally, they are faster than the more expensive Fed-Ex and UPS. But their tracking isn't near as good.

I get Fedex and UPS orders nearly overnight (regular shipping) or at least 2nd day. USPS orders are taking a week, at least.

I'd much rather have something shipped to me by Fedex or UPS.

I hate the USPS too and their tracking system stinks. I was expecting a delivery last week and the tracking system says it was delivered last Monday at 10am. I was home and it didn't come to my house. I called and they opened and "investigation". Anyway, I had not heard from them in a week, but the package did arrive 8 days after it was marked delivered. UPS is much better.

 

[schism61]

HATE ups Lately ...

yea when I ordered some Pc parts for my computer ( new Graphic card , Power supply ) UPS tracking showed it 5 mins from my house on a friday I called and asked if I could Come pick it up and they told me no They had to attempt to deliver it first . And they dont run on saturday or sundays .. SO I had to sit all weekend with my new toy 5 mins away and could not play with it

 

[lookin2quit]

Yeah, USPS can be a royal pain. What really irks me is that the mail carrier can manage to come upstairs to my apartment to leave a note that I wasn't home (when I was) but he can't manage to bring the package up here to begin with! Never happens with the light packages, but never fails with the heavier ones, so I just have a lazy mail carrier.

 

[Superstargoddess]

Call and ask them where it is. They should be able to know if it is out on the car or mail person for you. Heck, if you know your mail persons route, go track him down. I always see my mail lady in her car when I am out and about so I know where she goes.

 

[rjp44]

I order a lot of things online and I agree that USPS tracking is lacking, but the actual delivery depends a lot on your carrier. Mine is great and never fails to knock if a package wont' fit in the mailbox, or if it needs a sig. I appreciate what she does and always give her a card with $50 enclosed at Christmas.

You're lucky. My mail man is useless. He owes me 50 bucks.

It must have a lot to do if you are from a small town or not, perhaps. My mail lady is the same way. But it seems that a lot of big city mail people are the "knock and run" types.

USPS tracking is ridiculous at best. I had a package that left China on Saturday, USPS showed it still leaving China Sunday night then Monday morning out for delivery. I did actually get it b4 noon on Monday.

 

[JustMeAgain]

I don't think they're just supposed to stick a notice in your mailbox...I had that happen once, too, and when I called to see when I could pick up my pkg - since he was carrying it around - they said he should have come to the door.

 

[souporvapor]

Clarity - exact words from the USPS employee working the counter at the Post Office:
Yesterday, when I presented my package to be weighed for mailing, I was asked
how I wanted it sent.
Specifically his words were "do you want it to fly or go by the donkeys?"
Folks in the line behind me laughed when I suggested "donkeys also have other names"

keep in mind this is the same PO which kept 20 packages in a big cart without informing me....and expected I would just load them up and deliver them myself. Gee, I thought I paid to have them mailed from my old home to my new home.

HeeHaw

Lol, and keep in mind when it does fly, chances are it's on a UPS plane...

 

[Crankyfuzz]

My mail will not deliver a package if there is snow on the ground...will not even pull into the drive way when I complained at the post office I was told they are not required to during the winter months if there is snow on the ground so much for the rain, sleet or snow motto

Despite the changes as USPS I still like them. Tracking is a piece of mind, that is it. Tracking does not get it their faster.

Also I like the fact(and this has happened, espcially with international orders) That they deliver that separately and right away in the morning(About 9am). If I miss it, such as I did on monday, I walked down there(only a few blocks) and my package was ready at 11am. UPS or FedEx on the other hand this would not have happened, especially because the are so much further away. I also hate the attempt rule for pickup with other carriers.
