Title: Is the Post Office just draggin ass lately?
Post by: subzero23 on December 08, 2004, 07:41:30 pm
About the same time, like a week & a half ago I had two things shipped to me from different places, one from ebay, one from private transaction. (one was a complete coin door setup and the one from ebay was some extra coin mechs)...both aren't here yet and I am just thinking it might be cuz of the post office? Anyone else having bad luck?

It's the holiday season... it happens every year.  Be prepared for delays until after Christmas... it's just the way it is.

You'd think some people never set foot in a post office at Xmas time.......

impatience is a year-round thing - that's why the postal workers "go postal"

I live right by woodfield, they claim to be the fifth largest shopping center in america. Then there's an Ikea almost across the street from there.

I never said I was impatient, just worried
I guess I've never really had experience with mail transactions during this month so I wanted to make sure it's the PO's slowass that's doing it

Yes, I'm experiencing even slower than normal mail service even for holiday mail traffic this year.

It's probably got something to do with me.

I've requested as many catalogs as possible, and if I find them interesting enough, request them for 4 other addresses of folks I know.

I like to avoid stores this time of year.  Shopping the internet is WAY easier, nicer, and less likely to result in me wanting to smack the smarmy smirk off the snot-nosed punk hired to "help" me during this busy holiday season.  (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=28062.0;id=7565;image)

Maybe that's just me  ;D
