Thread: Postal service slow ?

I really don't have a problem when I
order something. Typically receive in
fairly quickly. Especially when it's coming
from California or Louisana.

Perhaps the PO is afraid of these two guys....

I do tend to "hover" and watch them do everything. I've caught them a couple times putting the package in the wrong box, failing to put postage on, and failing to scan the delivery confirmation tag. I corrected them each time, before it became a problem down the line (i.e., to the customer). They're human, and make mistakes too. I figure it's my job as a seller to catch what they don't, if I can. They're usually pretty grateful, since I ship a lot to weird places that require different forms and whatnot. What can I say...small town.

My PO is small as well. If you shipped something
to me without the PO Box number , I would still
get it. Kinda cool if you ask me.

Nope, this one was sent First Class. A similar one that I sent out in that same batch was also very slow in getting delivered, but arrived a couple days before Joe's.

Some Priority Mail packages I sent out that day were all routed and delivered promptly (2-3 days). I won't use 1st Class mail again for anything worth more than a few bucks.

do not get me started on that, i have ordered items from classicshaving about 2-3wks ago and still nothing, i have reecieved a payment notification but thats it, also i have emailed them twice to find out what is going on and nothing, can anyone tell me anything about this?

So classic hasn't responded to your emails?
If not, this is enought to make anyone mad.

I don't understand why a shipping notification
was emailed to you as well.

It's possible that the Holiday's have delayed
the package to an extend.

Keep emailing them. Request a shipping notification.


Terry

That's probably it. The holidays slow everything down, seems like. Packages that used to take 2 days now take a week. Hopefully it'll pick up after the holidays, but in the meantime, I've just gotten used to waiting (which is not my strong suit )

so that text above is an email stating that it has been shipped, not an auto notification that i have paid for the item? Bloody Xmas Bar humbug, just want my new straight.

No, thats not a shipping statement. Shipping statements
are always emailed when the items are shipped. This
apperrs to be a statement confirming your order.

I'm not sure whether thes hipping statements with a
tracking number come from the PO or classic? I will
go out on a limb and speculate the PO.
