Efficiency in Shipping

[BladesNBarrels]

3 weeks ago, I ordered from Amazon a custom lettered mat that had to be made in China and shipped direct to Corpus Christi, TX
Sent a Christmas card on the same day.
Mat got there in 5 days.
Still waiting for the card.

How does that happen?

I just don't know, tired as whatever on the shipping crap.

The package just arrived; the last bit of travel averaged about .2 mph. I am not saying I can walk faster than that; but most people who can walk, will walk much faster than that.

I only think the package arrived is that it was insured and I asked for updated tracking on the package.

The label was clear and easy to read; the box looks like someone used it as a shuttle cock for a good week or two.

Fuck UPS, the most worthless delivery service out there. Ordered two iPhone 12's for Christmas, were supposed to be delivered before Christmas, that didn't happen, so thanks for screwing up Christmas gifts, now I find out $2,000 worth of phones are missing, along with SIM cards. Wife on the phone with Verizon now trying to resolve things.

I love UPS.

Except when they deliver my packages to the wrong address.

You?d think technology (GPS, tracking systems, etc) would eliminate those kinds of errors.

Once they take the human beings out of the equation and let robots and technology do everything we should be good to go.

Years ago UPS was my go to, always trusted them to get stuff to me, however, over the last few years I (surprisingly) have better luck with USPS, and nearly every time I've had stuff coming from UPS there has been an issue, both in CO and AZ.

We had a package take 13 days to come from C-Springs via USPS. I could have walked there and back and picked it up myself faster. Then we send a package to NY and it gets there in 3 days. There seems to be no rhyme or reason.

A friend had a PS5 out for delivery the other day. FedEx delivered it to the wrong apartment and let the wrong name sign for it. Good thing the neighbor was honest and brought it by several hours later.

Item for me shipped directly from China & was at jfk in 5 days. Been sitting there for a week now. Imagine that's a bit different but still annoying. I hope they scan & forward it on soon.

Hopefully it's not a big jar of Wuhan...
