Thread: This is why I hate shipping...

I find, in general, the delivery services do a really good job. It's just that when things go smoothly we take it for granted and then something bad happens and we all of a sudden take notice.

Yeah I get the whole, "never miss the water...," thing but you have to admit that a trip from Florida to Ohio via California or Florida to New York via Honolulu is a little...... inefficient shall we say?

Sometimes things get sorted wrong and then they get routed wrong and that's when your issue occurs. I've had it happen also. It's usually USPS, rarely UPS or FedEx.

I recently had a FedEx package coming from Europe which usually takes two days to arrive and it was routed to practically every country in Europe with comments "Operational Delay". It took two weeks to arrive.
