What is it about shipping situations?
In the last two months, we get mail maybe 4 days a week. I call our local USPS and get excuses; it's staffing issues, it's the holidays, it's road construction, we can't deliver after dark (this one I totally don't understand)... Packages arrive at least a day late almost every time (currently waiting on an amazon order that I need on Monday, was supposed to come yesterday...). I finally tried calling the 800 number, the hold time was an hour... Of course, it's not like I can run up and pick things up if it's not delivered because the trucks are still out when the post office close!
It's not just USPS. Thursday afternoon, I missed a FedEx delivery. So I stayed home ALL DAY yesterday (even the dogs didn't get a walk) to wait for this package that is critical for work and could not be delivered without someone present. The package FINALLY arrived at 9:30 last night! Yep, 9:30 PM!!! I am grateful that it arrived, but 9:30 PM!!!
While I understand that this is a busy time of year, it's not just this time of year. We go through this all the time!!!
Yep, this is very much a 1st world problem... Thanks for letting me vent!
