Its amazing,from one vendor located in Florida, i receive my orders in 3 days(and the shipping is reasonably cheaper), recently i placed an order from V4L and today is day 4, i looked up the tracking and it more than likely wont even be here tomorrow,pretty sad when you pay 6.95 for shipping, the USPS in Illinois must be the laziest,slowest shipping center,at least compared to the USPS in Florida. Anyone else have this problem?

Agreed! I love vendors that offer first class shipping instead of being forced to pay 6.95 for priority that doesn't really get here any quicker than first class. I have ordered from V4L in the past and my orders got here relatively quick. Everytime I order from a vendor in FL it takes longer that others so unfortunately my experiences regarding the usps are reversed. Also, it is possible with all of the storms across the country lately that maybe that is why your package is taking longer to arrive than usual. I feel your pain, nothing worse that checking your package tracking only to find out it hasn't gotten any closer to being in the mailbox...

Its just luck of the draw sometimes. Theres no rime or reason as to why sometimes it takes longer and sometimes quicker. I tried an experiment. I placed an order to Tvr on Sat and another on Sunday I had one sent Priority and one sent first class both got there the same day! Both were shipped the same day so I dont do priority and I get a little out of sorts also when Im forced to pay the more expensive rate.
About the Postal service we all get aggravated with them sometimes but in reality look at how many pices of mail gets sent each day! Most arive on time in good shape I think its less than 1% lost rate. Thats really amazing when you think about it.
I dont know about everyone else but I use the USPS and Im happy that I can do so with out giving it a thought that it will show up in a few days.
So Props For all USPS workers!!!!!!!!!!
