I always want to share good news stories, especially when I’ve shared bad news stories about the same incidents.
Remember when our love seat was picked up and the new recliner delivered and we were NOT happy with the delivery people? It was those same guys who had picked it up that delivered it today and they could not have been nicer. They chatted a bit and were very friendly and efficient. I will call the furniture store tomorrow and thank them and let them know the improvement was appreciated.
Second, I received a package today that came through USPS. It’s the package I mentioned yesterday. It left MI on the afternoon of 3/17. Arrived in Kansas City on 3/18, very late in the day; left Kansas City about 2 a.m. on the 19th and arrived in Springfield later in the morning of the 19th. Then, this morning in the wee hours, it left Springfield and got to our local post office in time to be delivered.
From late in the afternoon on 3/17 to the morning of 3/20, to leave MI and arrive here . . that’s way more than I expect. They CAN do it and I hope it continues.

I ordered something on Tuesday of this week. So far it has been to the same terminal 3 times and sent out for delivery twice. It’s not 30 miles from my house but they can’t seem to get it here!

Well, dang it! I was hoping the entire USPS was on the right track. Hope you get it soon. It’s a good lesson for me . . one package arriving on time is not yet a trend. 🙂

I get the daily emails from the P.O. with what’s being delivered, and last week for 3 or 4 days it said it was waiting to pick up a package in SC. It was medication from the VA that I get once a month. After days and days, two days ago it finally said it was being delivered…. Obviously their system wasn’t working well, since it never said it had been picked up and was in transit.

I ordered some new sheets from Amazon. Said they would be here the next day. After 3-4 days tracking said that the package was delayed. After about 8 days tracking finally stated the package mat have been lost. So I got a refund and then ordered them again. Same thing, next day delivery. Tracking the next day stated may be lost again. Finally did get the package the next day. Never had a problem before. Usually my Amazon orders get here early.

That’s crazy. We do usually get our Amazon packages on time, even when the USPS is delivering them.
