jlhoots Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 FWIW, my order from Barcelona arrived in 7 days. Quote
medjuck Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 People in Santa Barbara are complaining that Netflix DVD deliveries are no longer coming the day after being ordered but there seems to be a consensus ghat this is netflix trying to ween us off atoms and on to bytes. Quote
jlhoots Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 An aside I guess, but whenever I order from Squidco shipments arrive 1st class mail here in Santa Fe from N. Carolina in 2 days. I hope I didn't just jinx them. Arrived in the usual 2 days. Quote
Scott Dolan Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 How could this be?! The USPS is horrendous…and with malicious intent! Good god, jlhoots. Please stick with the theme of the thread! Quote
aparxa Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 NYC to Troyes (not Troy, NY ) in 72 hours! Quote
aparxa Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Do you make it a point of honour to continuously reply in this thread? You have already made your point clearly. Quote

I know you're trying to be funny, but there seems to be significant variation depending on what apparently are local issues - Chicago, NYC, etc. Always happy to get good results. Quote

Yeah, I certainly don't deny that there are issues. It's a system run by humans. There will always be issues. I stated earlier that all shipping companies have various issues. It doesn't mean they suck, though. As I said, Fed Ex was my most recent issue. But, you don't see me starting a Fed Ex Sucks thread because of it. Anecdotal evidence from you, and others, in this thread show a lack of consistency AND infallibility from both the USPS and vendors (Dusty Groove, in this particular case). Am I wrong? Quote
Leeway Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Entered on the record: Ordered CD from DG on May 2, first-class shipping selected. May 4, received shipping notification from DG. May 4-7 at sorting facility in Chicago. May 7 at USPS Forest Park, IL facility. May 11: Supposedly shipped from there but no further info offered on the tracking page. May 13 still waiting. I don't have this problem with Squidco or Amazon shipments. Is DG's shipping info not accurate? Or does USPS have a problem with its mail centers in Chicagoland? From here on out, if I can get the same thing from another source, I'll skip DG. Quote
medjuck Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 I ordered a cd from Amazon via UPS (not USPS) that I tracked to Fort Worth where it seemed to stay. After a week or so I informed Amazon and they immediately sent me a replacement. Maybe someone in Fort Worth was a Kurt Weil fan. Quote

I ordered a set of the complete Beethoven String Quartets that ended up in Sparks, Nev. I live in Illinois. A replacement set arrived soon after I complained. Quote

I imagine anybody there could become a Kurt Weil fan these days, given even half a chance. Quote

Leeway Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 We can all relax, it arrived today, as these things tend to do once one starts kvetching about it. Only 12 days for a first-class parcel! Quote
AllenLowe Posted May 14, 2015 Report Posted May 14, 2015 I doubt it's Dusty Groove's fault; was it sent media? Quote
