He didnt include USPS. It would have been so easy to to show the front door and nothing delivered. Disappointed.

While funny, the portrayal of the Amazon delivery guy is BS. They are about the most careless and clueless when delivering a package. I have several videos of packages being "tossed", and one of them managing to kick one our sidewalk lights, shattering it. No note left, no attempt to clean it up, nothing.

Even my dumbass postman is better than they are. Literal dumbass, I've talked to him.

I have 7 packages inbound via USPS right now:
1 of them will be delivered today, a full 13 days after the tracking number originally said it would be delivered
2 of them are going to be delivered today (no less than 24 hours late for both)
3 of them are currently "lost, in transit to the next facility" but no actual location and "will arrive late".
The last one is coming from a person I know, and it was dropped off 3 days ago, but still shows "USPS Waiting for item"...

S.T.U.P.I.D.

Of the three boxes I have coming via UPS:
All 3 are on schedule, with known locations, and running on time.

(Added the worst USPS offender - I literally forgot about it.)

USPS is comical. Their tracking is worthless.

USPS is comical. Their tracking is worthless.

And we're still supposed to believe they can handle mail in ballots.

Their new informed delivery runs about 50% correct on a good day !!!!

Well, it finally came in. Now that I have assembled the upper, I need to ship it off to my brother.

Anyone have a box a 16" barreled Upper would fit in?

Final tally:
1 day, Iowa to Denver.
6 days, Denver to Castle Rock.
3 days, Castle Rock to my door (in Castle Rock).

I have a few if you want to come up to Parker to get one.

Approx Parker Rd & Lincoln.

In a slightly off topic note, two weeks ago I had something arrive two days early. It came on a Sunday, and I had ordered on a Saturday. And not ordered Saturday morning, ordered like... Saturday at 4:30pm. Note, I live on the west slope, there is no hub here. I was shocked. I'd have to dig to figure out what carrier, I don't think it was USPS. Not particularly valuable either.

ETA: It was so out of the ordinary I was joking with my wife that their AI has gotten so advanced they know what you're going to order before you do and pre-ship it.

My last shipment from USPS via Rock your Glock decided to take a 5 day nap in Denver. Weight of parts sub oz to replace the ones that went bonking around the room when working on rebuilding my slide.

That record has now been bested by a shipment from NOE which arrived in Denver on the 15th. I only ordered a temp sensor for the mold and furnace. Priority mail use to be pretty good, now I wonder what priority it has. The package must be shy, I think it is still in the delivery truck that it came on.
