Did a couple of trades the week of the 20th and one package took almost a full week to move about an hour from CT to NY to its destination.

I have another package going to TX and it hasn't gotten there yet... :(

All USPS Priority. Now I know that they are behind due to the holidays etc. But now that they promise 2 day for priority - they should really scan in more info if its going to be 5-10 days to get there.

So - I just ask anyone in this part of the forums to take this into consideration in terms of calling each other Bad or Ugly :D
 
Just completed a trade with a gentleman on the forum. We both shipped USPS Priority on the 20th,Monday. He got his on Thursday, and I got mine today.
 
Man.....I am torked at USPS. I was working a trade with ProEdge and we sent knives out on the same day. The ones to me arrived within a couple of days, the ones to him are a week out. I even paid a money order to another person in NY the day after shipping the knives to ProEdge, BY REGULAR MAIL, and it arrived yesterday!!!! ProEdge is taking this better than I am. The web site STILL states, "picked up in Nashville TN ...". I have some packages due in to me that are late. One shipment is Bonsai trees!!!! TREES, ONE WEEK LATE IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER........ AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

OK. That is off my chest. I need to take a pill.

Must the the location,ive shipped USPS priority for the past 3 yrs and never has it went over the 3 day mark.I ship something at least once a week and to every state imaginable and yet 2 or 3 days max.Im in Tn and I traded with someone in Tx on the 20 and we both received items on the 22nd.I do always get DC# also if that makes any dif.I switched 3 yrs ago when I was comparing them to UPS and found priority mail to be not only cheaper but at least 2 days faster.
 
I have a trade going right now,TN to CA neither of us have gotton our packages yet and they were both shipped on 12 21 04
Person at the Post Office told me today that depending on where it is going and when it was shipped it may have been caught up in all the air port delays.
 
Fellow in Ohio (380 miles away) says he shipped a MO to me via USPS priority mail on December 4. Not here as of today . . . 12/30. That's almost four weeks. I'm beginning to wonder if he actually mailed the MO. Guess time will tell. :rolleyes:
