Default AHHhhhhh! USPS wtf?!?!?!

okay, so last thursday I odered about 15 scion related parts accessories diecast shirts... and here it is monday, i been checking my mail every hour on the hour since 12:00 p.m. its now 5:15 p.m. and still no mail. So I decide to call my grand father, ex postman for 25 years and ask him WTF? were is my mail. He laughs and tells me its a holiday "columbus day" WTF? give me a break are you serious. Postmen get more days off and vacation and better hours than 90% of the jobs in america and here I am working retail 6 days a week most weeks, waiting on my packages, and they don't deliver on columbus day come on... i'm ____ed.

p.s. I would have posted this in the off-topic section but it says i need 50 post so if a mod wants to move it over there thats fine.

Better then the mail losing a part, like they did for me. Luckily it was only $50 bucks. My customer wasn't too happy though. I know it's cliche but, "better late then never!"

your right but when your execting it.. and a stupid holiday like this one is coming between you and your personal xB time.. it gets a little annoying. it wouldn't be so bad if my xB wasn't rollin on stock hubby's and looks like its jacked up on sterioids... i'm waiting on my 2" goldline drop springs... thats why I am mad.

I understand, I'm on your side. lol I had to wait an extra week once cause the USPS delivered my package to the wrong address, the messed up thing is it would have been quicker for the people just to walk across the street and give me the package rather then return it to the USPS. lol

ouch that does suck i used to live in ellicott city, md when i had my 03 mazdaspeed protege and they would delivery my parts to the wrong house alot, but i knew the neighbors and they would just bring em to me or call me to come get them, cause it was usually heavy or big stuff.. body kit, and various other engine upgrades.

Be careful what you say.....the postman can "loose" more stuff than you can order. I know, they took 10 years of my life, I know a lot of their tricks. And don't think that they don't know when you bounce a check, don't pay a ticket, have a birthday.....they can keep real close tabs on you if you ever do anything to get on their radar.

At least they keep their shootings in house.

I hate the USPS too, i like UPS and FEDEX. I had something due columbus day also,(clutch linkage bushings) and they didn't come until tuesday night,--last night. And they didn't sent me a confirmation e-mail (to tell me it shipped) till the day before it came to my house.

Can you call the shipper(s) and see if they can trace it?

well alot of the stuff is off ebay, i did regular shipping on most so i guess i am being a lil quick on some of it, but usually with ebay i get the items within a week as of today its a week.. so hopefully i get something as for the springs... they are looking like next week

edit:

when i had jsut about given up hope and felt like this



I looked out the window just in time to see the usps mailman put two packages and a letter in the mail box..



I got dressed and ran out.. and look wut i got.



3rd brake like cover, golf towel with scion logo that i plan to put on passenger side dash in the xB and my pw xB keychain.

Nice stuff, I like the towel. My fave Scion item is a pair of flip flops with the Scion logo cut into the bottom tread.
