Seriously, I click on the tracking link at least 10 times a day even when I know there isn't going to be a change. I've even short-cutted them to my desktop so I can get to it faster. The worst part is when it says out for delivery and I'm waiting at home anxiously. My postman doesn't come till around :mad:5pm:mad: most of the time, once in a blue moon its as early as 2pm, some people get it first thing in the morning! Lucky!

Currently waiting anxiously for a ZT 0600 and Fenix TK75. What are you guys constantly clicking the tracking link for?
 
What's even worse is when you watch it closely and the package never arrives.... man that pissed me off.
 
I hate the post office. I mailed an MO like on tuesday and it still hasn't gotten to it's recipient.

I understand delays, but then again i've had MO's take as little as two days...
 
Get email updates. They seem more frequent to me, but that could be my imagination.

My mail gets here around 10am which is awesome. I know because most of my life I had service just like yours.
 
I used to do the same thing, it's like watching for a pot of water to boil. Try your best to forget you have a package on the way. I'll only check up on tracking if it's been a week or so with no delivery. I swear my items arrive much faster when I don't click that evil link! :-)
 
I set up for email updates, I got an email an hour ago that this one is out for delivery :applouse:

Nothing.

Register with the USPS to get Email updates like others do.

They'll come when there's something new to report on the package's progress.

And Relax.

It'll get there w/o all the stress you're subjecting yourself to. In the big scheme of Life, it's just a mail ordered knife...
 
A few tips that might offer a solution:

Have a few drinks before ordering anything. You'll forget all about it, and when it finally arrives it'll be a surprise!

Get your items shipped to your work address so you don't have to be at home waiting for the mailman, and no one will hork the knives if you're not home.
Similarly, get a PO box.

Fortunately for me, I have a job and family that keeps me plenty busy. I don't have the time to sit and click mindlessly all live long day on tracking links. It'll get here when it gets here.
