I ordered a couple of tools for the Ducati last week from California. Checked the tracking today thinking they might arrive tomorrow.

Noooooo. The box was scanned in New Jersey this afternoon?!

Really? I mean really? That just annoys me to no end. 5-7 days my ass.

Shipping in general is starting to suck.

I've had to ship alot of stuff this year, and used to always have fast, "correct" service. Not so much anymore...

I never had any problems with USPS and they were always way cheaper and faster than the others.

Just sent three satellite receivers, a bunch of mail and cables to my old roomate.
The box was huge, cost me 25 bucks and it was there in 4 days.

Good old Canada post..

It doesn't help when you live on the 3rd floor and your postman is too fucking lazy to bring your packages to your door so he puts a notice in your box to pick them up on the other side of town and they aren't open on Sat so the Ed Hardy jeans you should have gotten on Thurs to wear on New Year's Eve/ Sat you won't get until Mon IF you pick them up yourself that is!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

UPS wouldn't read the directions on my packages and kept delivering to the house up front. I called and chewed them out for leaving a new set of tires up there instead of driving the 100 yards down the drive PER MY DIRECTIONS to leave them on MY porch. Our neighbor up front was a douchebag, and they're lucky my kid found them before he did. After that, no problems with them. USPS however....well, he can't even read the house number and NAMES I put on the FRONT OF THE MAILBOX and shoves my mail in the one next to it. Fkn idiots...my packages have been late as well.

The postal service lost my business with it took three weeks for a letter I mailed to go two states over.

Ooohhh, a perfect rant for me!! I ordered gifts for my niece, nephews, and kids, all from the same store at the same time. USPS claims to have left the package that one of the gifts was in at my door. Bullshit 'cause I never got it. And yet everything else they delivered they left on my patio and I got all of that!?

And on top of THAT.... I sent a box of gifts to my daughter in Jersey priority overnight. They have NO idea where the package is. All they know is that it left AZ the day after I was at the post office. And I didn't check to see how much insurance you get automatically for the $48.00 it cost me to ship, and as it turns out, only $100.00 which doesn't cover her gifts. They told me they will be trying to find it for at least 2 months, so, my options are to go out and re-buy all the gifts I bought her now so she actually gets them, and wait 2 months for not enough money to reimburse me, or to wait and see if they find the package. Fuckers.

The post office definitely sucks. Mailman delivered mail to our office and I found mail for 5 different people/offices mixed in with our stuff. Also, I have to send postal tracers to try and locate people and I find it hilarious when I get ones back stating that "mail is delivered to address given" for all 3 addresses I send the postal tracer for on the same person. It's almost pointless for me to send postal tracers if they aren't going to give me correct information. But, it's a requirement when trying to locate someone, so I just document the history and check off the box.

Ulu mailed some presents to Grand Forks on the 14th. We got them on the 28th. I got my camera battery and charger delivered to my house the day after I landed in North Dakota, three weeks after I ordered them. I should have used FedEx.

Yep, it's all my fault that these threads turn into the "Tigger show"...

Ed Hardy isn't any worse/better than any other designer brand. Whether it's Ed Hardy, Tommy Hilfiger, Lucky, Polo, Versace', True Religion, Nautica, etc. They are all rip-offs, I understand that. That's why I only buy these types of clothes off EBAy (or TJ Maxx) $29 shipped to my door. Whether what type or brand of clothes I wear makes me a douchebag or marks me as "black"...some of you bigots really should take a long hard look at yourselves, really doesn't matter. I happened to like these jeans so I bought them.

I find it funny that the same people that are so brand-centric when it comes to riding gear... Oh and I'm sure that none of you ladies buy the high end make-up or perfume... Anyway, it's my fault for being so specific, I really thought that I had gone along with the thread topic on this one... Gosh, I am such an attention whore!

Pics of the jeans, I called and bitched and they dropped my packages off this afternoon! Woot!

I get mail for some stupid woman that keeps running red lights. So far she's ran 4 in the last 6 months. I put "not at this addy", but they coming back. :bash:

The last was a court summons. Found out from the landlord that she has never lived here and just uses this address.

And no, I don't open them, I hold them up to the light and read it. :D

Every brand is an image. I don't like the image of Ed Hardy. For the same reason, I won't wear/buy Bench stuff. :idk: :shrug:

I'm wearing $9 walmart jeans cause I get shit on them and make them smell. I'm not a big clothes shopper, so I buy when I absolutely need to. That's when the sale rack comes into play. I'm just one of those guys that looks at something and figures out the mark up margin.

I bought 8 pair of jeans new from a Swap Meet in Alsip, IL. They are called JD or something like that. They look cool..and they were 10 bucks each (no tax). lol

Yeah I'm cheap...can't see spending alot on clothes when they all come from China.

Hmmm... well, I don't wear Abercrombie or some others, so I guess you have a point. The funny thing is that clothes don't really have an "image", you have attributed one to Ed Hardy based on some of the people that wear the brand. It's kinda silly imho but hey you gotta be you. I wear clothes based on look, fit, price and quality. I really don't care who else wears the brand. Shit, if I quit wearing a brand whenever I find out that someone I don't like wears it, I'd have to run around naked.

Well I think I figured out what the problem was. It seems that if you goof up the first digit in my zip code and key in a 0 instead of a 7, you end up in Kearney, New Jersey. The tracking shows that it has the right address, but the people at the post office got in a hurry when they keyed it into the system I guess.

Fantastic. Just fantastic. Oh well. Maybe I'll get it this week. I sure doubt they'll put a rush on it since they screwed it up.

I used priority overnight. There was nothing wrong with the label, the dude at the post office could read it just fine. They just sent it to Jersey via, I don't know, Europe?

I prefer USPS Priority mail. Never had a problem with it. Get things from Cali in 2 or 3 days. And it's cheaper than UPS and FedEx.

Did you use their packaging, or yours? If yours they might screw it up due to not knowing its priority.

In my experience they sticker the shit out of the box if it's your own packaging. You can't look at it and not notice the Priority stickers.

Here they tell you to put stickers on it. They might do it if you're dealing face to face with them at the counter, but if you just put your package in the chute, who knows.
