[TMGT]

Our last 2 mortgage statements have arrived about weeks after its due! Typically they are a week+ beforehand.

My postman is back to delivering around noon again. Before Christmas it was around 4pm.

I have never had a Bill not show up. Rebates or capital credits checks are a different story.

It feels like USPS is getting caught up around here. An envelope I mentioned earlier, mailed to a P.O. box 3 miles away, finally arrived after 4 weeks. We received lots of junk mail with ads that were already expired. Now we are receiving mail within 3 days again in most cases.

Anyone else getting USPS deliveries to your door on Sundays? This holiday season was a first for us.

Feeling bored, grab de expired offers from junk mail and call seller and complain post office delayed and you demand dey extend offer.

Cost junker money to listen to you.

I don't think I've ever gotten a Sunday USPS delivery, but a few years ago one of my neighbors did. I thought it unusual.

Once in a great while I've missed a credit card statement. Didn't realize it was missing until next month when I got hit with extra charges. As far as rebates go, I think a lot of them are scams, and the rebate fulfillment centers count on you forgetting that you put in for one, or they'll "disqualify" you for it because you left some space blank on the form, or used the wrong UPC code, or some other little nitpicky thing. Of course they never tell you why or even that it was disqualified. I haven't bothered with them in decades.

We had USPS doing Sunday deliveries here early last year, but then it seemed to just stop.
Still get some Amazon deliveries on Sunday.
We did miss some mail when our mailman was on vacation. We got mail from other houses and put it back in mailbox for them to redistribute. None of it was important or I would have taken it over myself.

The bulk of the Zon order showed up today. Most of it's OK, but one item I'm not real happy with. I'll probably keep it though since I don't generally return items that aren't defective. I'll take things back to local stores if I bought wrong or too many, but shipping back is a different issue.

 

[Diggin It]

This Zon order has turned into a total cluster. Nine items, all paid for at one time, one order number. Five of them shipped in one box. They didn't ship for a week after I paid, then arrived in two days once shipped. These were the larger items. The other four items, all smaller than a Bic lighter and about a dollar each shipped individually, four shipments from four different places via UPS. They likely paid close to $20 even with their super discounted rates to ship four items totaling less than $5.

I get really frustrated about that when I have it shipped to a drop off point in winter, so that the delivery company doesn't have to drive down my road. It costs me $3.00 per package to do that, so when they spit a seemingly simple order up into several parcels it costs me money. There's no way of knowing when you place the order that it's scattered all over Timbuktu.

Cabela's finally got around to shipping my boots... a week after taking my money they finally printed a label. 4 days later it actually went out for shipment. The funniest thing is that before even creating a label they had already asked for a review... I don't believe that you will see them posting what I said though.
