Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Yeah. I couldn?t make the drive from Denver to the Springs in such a short time. Then again, I don?t drive a mail truck.Originally Posted by kidicarus13
I don?t know if the USPS tracking system is just that awful or if someone who works there has a sense of humor and updates the tracking just for the WTF? effect.
IIRC, there is no Colorado Springs USPS distribution center. All the mail in The Springs get's trucked up to Denver to be sorted (so I imagine there's a table or room that they call the "COS Distribution Center" up in Denver).

there is truth to that. Postal policy changes quite frequently. For a period of time all sorting was exclusively done in Denver and in Grand Junction, Colorado (covering e.g. Montrose, Delta, Rifle, part of Utah as well, etc.). Then for a period of time, even the Grand Junction region was arbitrarily trucked to Denver, sorted as going to the Grand Junction region, and driven back, where I think it may have then been sorted for destination delivery @ Grand Junction. AKA, a massive waste of resources and time considering the western slope mail.
I've never heard of CO Springs having a mail sorting location so it literally is contained inside the Denver facility.
Source: Friends with an upper level USPS manager. Although my info is a couple years old, for all I know GJ may once again do regional sorting, this crap changes all the time. There is very little chance of CO Springs ever doing it though as the proximity to Denver's facilities would make it a waste of resources.

All I know is that it takes 3 weeks for mail to get from Colorado Springs to Wichita, KS, while it only takes about 5 days for mail to get from Chicago to Wichita.
Something about USPS in CO stinks.

Well, if you can believe them, the package that I?ve had being dragged back and forth between Denver and Colorado Springs is supposed to be out for delivery today. Fortunately for me it isn?t anything that will depreciate due to excessive mileage.
My package has a total of 19 scans all together to get from Houston to Denver. That thing has been finger banged more than most peoples sisters.
Usps 3 day priority from CA. Very hard to get graphics card insured at 1300. From the get go, estimate was 4 days. Day 3 it was at denver for 2 days with no movement. Finally Sunday it popped up as being in longmont. Supposed to be signature required but fortunately wife home...... I get a text that's it's been delivered to front lobby...... i have a home. Confirm wife doesn't have it, nope. I call them, they think it's in my neighborhood box. I'm like wtf about my signature...... they said they can sign for me due to covid.... negating the point of the fucking signature, leaving me boned if the seller had tried to scan me.
Same week, yesterday i got my power supply from best buy. Came in a box 4x plus its size with no packing material.
Amazon sent me cpu cooler with no box other than what it came in crushed on one corner.
So gotta build this shit and see if anything is broken.
Did you update your address to "The Thornton" ?

Well, of course.
