Amazon delivery problems using USPS

[ultrarunner]

Had that happen to a party of 6 that were flying to California for a wedding... Wedding was to be in Yosemite the next day and they flew in from Germany... thankfully, they flew a German airline!

Talk about aggravation... some did make it and some was on the porch for about a week while the group was traveling...

After that... I always carry essentials carry on....

Missing Luggage Ending....

The airline texted us about a bit after 7:00pm, which is when they said the lost luggage would be on the road, and told us they would be at our house at 8:30. A second text said 9:30. A bit later the driver called and said 8:30. At 8:30, on the dot, the driver was at the door. Sure can't complain about that service. :thumbsup:

Course, the luggage should not have been left behind in the first place.

What was interesting was when I was at the lost luggage office, there were maybe 15-20 pieces sitting there. The office was locked and reopened just as we walked up. I don't know if those 15-20 pieces were lost that morning, the last hour, last 24 hours, etc. As we waited and waited for our luggage to show up on the conveyor there were at least six pieces of luggage going around and around and around. Did people FORGET to pick up their luggage or was this stuff that was offloaded from the plane that should not have been... :confused3: One was a soldier's duffel bag and another was a child car seat. Hard to believe those would have been left behind by mistake.

First time we have had lost luggage and it certainly was not that bad. Maybe this means we will never have lost luggage again. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Later,

We had that once. We had gotten bumped and re-routed. Apparently, our checked bags stayed on the original plane and they beat us to our destination.

I don't think it could get much worse than my present FEDEX package. Monday it was picked up in Wilmar, MN. and today (Saturday) @ 4:46AM it left St. Paul, MN. for places unknown. 6 Days and it is still in state of origin. I will be lucky to get it in 10-14 days at this rate.

Update: The package left Saint Paul enroute to Champaign, IL. today. Still a long way from Bismarck, Ar.

Ah, that makes sense. I did not think of someone's luggage arriving before the people.

What is sorta ironic is that we had to PAY to check the luggage since the family member is not tall enough to use the overhead storage bins. When the wifey and I travel we try to travel "light" so we can avoid checking baggage. "Light" is a relative term since the bags meet the size standard but weight is a different issue. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

A coworkers kid got some very cheap tickets to go to Iceland in December. The kid and friends, being college students and short of money, did not want to spend money to check bags so they wore multiple layers of clothes to minimize what when in their luggage. :laughing::laughing::laughing: I have this picture of them looking all puffed up like the Michelin Man or Ralphy's brother Randy going to school.

I ordered an HVAC part from Amazon that shipped from Celina, TX on 12/28 on USPS. It went from there to Dallas on 12/29 then to San Jose, CA!! on 1/1 on the way to western NY.
You don't have to be much of a geography expert to figure out that is 1000 miles in the wrong direction!!

The package saga continues!! That package left San Jose on 1/3. It will be interesting to see where (if) it shows up next!

Our usps package that showed out for delivery yesterday now now shows a delivery exception, as I expected it would.

You answered your own question. you said USPS

they s*ck... period. end of story...

It's not only USPS, it's the whole gunnit regime that sucks, but then Fed-Ex is only a tad better, then there is DHL, Dumb and Hopelessly Lost.... All the independents want to be UPS but do it for less. Less don't work.

We have had a bunch of packages sent by Amazon... most Prime but not all with zero issues (as scheduled) before or after Christmas. Guess we are lucky around here.
