Just a stupid rant but i ordered voodoo with USPS express mail becuase i wanted to get it before my trip and over a week later I'm already back and I still do not have it delivered. Wtf what funny is every other time i ordered with priority mail i got it in 3-4 days. just frustrating dealing with the USPS. life lesson learned if it needs to be here timely don't use express!

I feel your pain. My last and probably final purchase with ad was last spring it took a month and a half to get my package from ca to NJ I almost canceled the order if only their stuff wasn't so legit but I kept my eyes open for other companies since and glad I broadened my horizons. Good luck keep cool

Don't feel bad. I bought some high end audio equipment on eBay a long time ago, and sent a cashiers check for $3,260 by U.S.P.S. Express Mail Guaranteed overnight delivery, and 1 week later the recipient was claiming that it had not been received and U.S.P.S. was still claiming it to be enroute. I was able to stop payment on the check and because the seller became really flaky when I said that I was going to so I just blew the whole thing off at after stopping payment. But, 1 month later I got a call back from U.S.P.S to ask if the recepient ever received the letter, and after telling them that I stopped payment on the check and just blew it off, they informed me that they found an airbill and it looks like the letter was received ontime, but never entered into the system.

I also found 4 other people on eBay that got screwed out of a total of over $25,000 by the same guy, and we all got together to file a complaint with the Postal Inspector, but were told that not enough money was involved for them to be interested! WTF?

Just be glad you don't live outside the US - USPS transatlantic can take weeks, sometimes months and often with a hefty customs and service/processing charge attached!

I second that

I have had so many problems with usps in the past most noticeably was a handmade valentines day gift that I sent that still has not arrived.

Interestingly, USPS has been kind to me so far. Be it First Class or Priority Mail, I receive my international shipments in 10 or 6 days respectively. There was that one time that Priority got delivered in 10 days but that was due to the local postal overload here around Christmas time.

That John bonadzz uses the service which provides tracking to my country regardless of First Class or Priority Mail is also a welcome bonus.

You are very lucky then and I am fairly certain you are the exception to the rule.

Thing is it isn't just USPS shipments from one company. It's from FIVE. Not all are mones though. But I can count down the days pretty much spot on for the envelope package to turn up in my mailbox and BAM, it's there.

Which is why I wonder why USPS sucks donkey balls for you guys locally. Are they trying to kill their own business?

That explains the delays. Everyone know sucking donkey balls can take some time.

I'm sitting here tapping my toe waiting for my first order... they haven't undated the tracking yet. I've noticed this before with other non mone things. The tracking gets updated when you have the parcel.
