Rant on shipping

Where did you get Tacoma from? The last time that I knew he drove a Taurus wagon.

It would be easy to find his house though... just drive to every hilltop, looking for an LS TLB. There can't be more than 20,000 or so of the latter around...

Probably very few LS TLB's in Kitsap, WA.
Could be drizzling though, so hilltop viewing might be iffy.

Maybe, but he said it was chilling in Tacoma, not drizzling.

I took that to mean Tacoma WA, not that it was in a Tacoma.

Tacoma was always a smelly place when the mill was going. Locally we called the smell the Aroma of Tacoma. Many of us natives were shocked when we heard Toyota was renaming their small truck Tacoma. To us the name had a negative connotation.

I called that mill "aroma"...just plain STINK!

Many called it the smell of money... just like the guy running a pig farm.

I see where he got it from now. Yet it's the part which is chilling in Tacoma, not DI's LS which could be parked anywhere.

USPS got de Tax bill delivered on time today. Seem like dey can accomplish dat every year.

Amazon seems to be hedging more on estimated delivery dates recently. Two packages scheduled for tomorrow came today.

Under Promise is a tried and true business model if you already have market dominance.

Cabelas used to be great for that, as did UPS. I can understand things are crazy, and never did believe in the "delivery before you order it" mentality which was developing until recently. I just get a little pissy when somebody already has my money, yet doesn't really seem to care when they fill the order.

it looks like Amazon has me scheduled for 3 different shipments tomorrow (Sunday). Two by Amazon Prime trucks even though I do not pay for Prime. And another via UPS. No rant here, just seems odd unless the two Amazon Prime shipments consolidate.

Well, Amazon delivered der two packages a day early and dey consolidated them to one drop off. :thumbsup:

And de USPS is now estimated for Tuesday. :confused3:
