You must be hanging with a different crowd than I am.

They looked dumb on your wife and they look even worse on you, guy.

Did you ask if he signs emails "Toodle-oo"?

fucking postal service man. i need to vent here. ordered some pivot parts on ebay first week of november. package immediately sat at the post office for a week after seller dropped it off. makes its way across the country at a snail's pace. sits at a local distribution center for two weeks before finally making it to my local PO and then going out for delivery. never made it to me, went back to a distribution center, and tracking stopped updating. filed a claim after a week of radio silence and called the domestic claims customer service line to inquire about them trying to get hands on the package and send it on it's way. guy says yep, we certainly can do that, but you are past the window for us to try to track it down. you'll just have to wait for your claim to be approved and reorder your shit. well, tracking starts updating soon after but it shows the package arriving and departing from the same distribution center for a week straight. claim finally gets approved (ie, there was a check being mailed to me that i still haven't gotten) and package inexplicably takes off back across the country and ends up not far from seller's location. i figure its being returned to sender and start wondering what that means for my claim payout. i call customer service back and lady informs me that if my package is returned to sender, or if it is eventually delivered to me, i will be invoiced for my claim. mind you, all I want is my shit. Fuck this claim business. well it never does make it back to the seller. it sits in Kansas for a few days but arrives at my PO early yesterday morning and was out for delivery to me soon after. I'm fucking stoked. i'm finally gonna get my shit. I was out last night but got the notification that it was delivered. i bet you can guess where this is going. got home and no package. i text neighbors. no one got it. i go to my email to pull up the original receipt from purchase to report it as not delivered through ebay. there is a new email from USPS. my invoice for $75. so i'm out the shit i ordered, out the claim payout from usps, and i owe the motherfuckers $75. and i have to deal with even more customer service bullshit.

We've been having all sorts of USPS problems too. I wish I didn't have to deal with them at all and likely won't for anything outgoing anymore unless I must.

[halliday]

USPS is pretty reliable until they aren't. Sometimes it's like throwing shit into a black hole. Which parts are you looking for?

this is just the most egregious episode in a long line of usps fuckups. there is at least one non-sunday day each week when i get no mail. i would estimate that of the last dozen or so packages i've ordered, at least half of them were delivered to neighbors. this normally isn't a huge deal as we all have grown accustomed to grabbing our shit from one another's mailboxes and porches, but my next door neighbor died recently and the house is now empty and is listed as vacant with USPS so all mail gets returned to sender. well my retard mailman loves to deliver my shit to their house and yeah, it gets returned to sender. happened twice last month.

so yeah, i am fucking done with them. UPS and fedex only.

GW pedestals. But I am hopeful that I can get the PO to track it down on Monday.

[halliday]

The whole pedestal with the AFD?

I'm sure it will get waaaaay better once Donny and Elno privatize USPS

the whole shebang. but i found a hook up on the cheap so i'm covered even if the post office doesn't come through.

I'd send you vibes via usps, but they'd never get there.

Ever since Trump installed Dejoy, usps has gone from semi unreliable to completely fucking useless.

By design, of course.

[rideit]

I agree. My paranoid theory is that they saw the opportunity to install DeJoy, who was willing to let the whole thing go to shit. Then, they eventually make a big show about how being run as a public service is a total failure, and can only be fixed by total privatization.
We will see this come to a head, and it’s not gonna be pretty.
Yet another scheme to just make the U.S. a fascist kleptocracy.
I’m surprised Trump/Musk/Amazon etc haven’t quietly bought up all stakes in FedEX, UPS, etc.

All Amazon packages show up at my house either via UPS or USPS.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

I guess it’s regional or local? I’ve had zero issues with the USPS sending packages, even skis, and receiving packages and mail promptly. I’m still getting mail in [emoji639] days sent from the east coast. USPS does a lot of delivery fulfillment for other carriers around here.

^ yep. My last home had great usps service, granted it was a town of about 600. Usps was a known disaster in the neighboring resort town.

Truckee is in between. Dyslexic carrier puts my mail and package keys in the wrong cluster box. No front door delivery so I have to go downtown to pick up packages if they're too big or the package lockers at the cluster boxes are full. No major snafus in many years, since my kid's checks were delivered 6 months late. I'm trying Amazon locker, there's one very close. We'll see how that works, but I avoid Amazon if I can.

Good deal. If you are out of commission let me know.

Huh, we get USPS to the door in Glenshire (for the most part). You have difficult driveway or entrance or something?

For much of Truckee it’s not an option. Certainly not in Tahoe Donner.

Same. My mailman and the staff at my local PO have all been around for as long as I can remember, and they're all really good.

That seems to make all the difference. When the old guys are in the shop, things run smooth but when the new guys are at the helm, a shit show ensues…


fact.

FWIW…update on the eye injury from the annoying Marker Squire binding “explosion” that happened a few weeks ago at my shop.

-Much improvement/ after the laser surgery on torn retina and a few weeks of rest/recovery….healing as well as expected. Both docs are happy with where we are at. My vision is pretty much back to normal…had a good week at school/ and actually was back at shop yesterday for a 7 hour shift of installs/tunes. So I guess I’m back…

-Thank you Mags…by taking all ur advice about insurance/….I believe all the steps were/are being taken care of by the owner/shop/shop’s insurance company…I have an adjuster on my claim that I have been in consistent contact with and she believes things should go smoothly.

So hoping for a full recovery and ready to start working out again/training/running…..and of course a great winter of skiing.
