How many times will you refresh the tracking number page?
Me: 4848374647383995837371 times so far
I?ve grown rather patient as I get older. Sometimes I don?t even track things and just let them show up unexpectedly.
Only if they are later than the normal time they are in my neighborhood do I refresh it after I find its out for delivery.
This one is ambiguously delayed and it's something I really want to show up.
I?m kinda like Ray sometimes , And others I?m kinda crazy about it.
I just drive myself nuts so I try to forget about it.
The more you want it. The longer it will take. (Or feel like at least )
Amazon had ruined us for shipping times I ignore most things over 4 days shipping on eBay
Got a box from amazon today. Knew it was coming. Figured it would be here when I got home.
Nope.
But here's the kicker... while I'm going about my evening business, I here an alert on my phone from my front porch cam. Without even looking at the phone, I go to the front door and see someone pulling out of my driveway.
The package was right by the front door. No knock, no doorbell, nothing.
WTF? How about a little notification. Not so much as a "delivery confirmed" email over 1.5 hrs later.
Sent from somewhere...
Mine isn't e even coming to my house. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow at this point. Initial estimate was yesterday.
Anyone remember “Please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery”???
That was back when there were flip phones, right?
"Send $17.99 check or money order to: Box 17M, Denver CO 8####, please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery"Quote:

Oh, yeah. Sears catalog, baby.
The Seats catalog was the internet before there was the internet.

It's like NAZ is the twilight zone of mail service.
Yeah it's somewhere. Like i need a tracking # for that useless bit of info.
So i'm going to start paying a little more for fedhex or BBT and see what happens.
I've been receiving delivery confirmation the day after i pick it up from the p.o. box.Quote:

So, it it comes in today, I get to come by and pick it up to test right? Haha
The second I have this in hand I'm heading out to test it.Quote:

A whole lot has changed over the years for sure. For me it's worse because USPS told me it'd be here on 4/2 and once that expectation was set in my mind that's what I wanted. Time goes more slowly every hour after that initial expected time passed. I'm hoping that tomorrow I can reply to this thread with a YAY!
