| @gotham44 This is true. But I have been fortunate. It's the delivery folks that make sure my stuff doesnt get beat to hell given the sometimes crappy packing. |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDadThis is kind of something we do as well. We ship meds for military veterans. They throw like 250 small packs in a heavy duty type of garbage bag BUT for fedex its only condsidered 1 package. We deliver that package to the post office in 1 day and they deliver it with the regular mail. Cheaper to pay the postal service to deliver 250 pkgs than fedex. |

| @Studley_Dudley Over at FedEx Express we were told that no one but the driver can touch out powerpad. We are to only sign IN FRONT of the customer. We can't just leave a signature required pacakge if they aren't home. I know some drivers do though | ||

| @gotham44 The few Fedex packages I've had have been signed for in front of me. If I know I won't be home, I reroute FedEx to a Kinkos/FedEx Office and pick it up later. | ||

| Looks like shipping is still unpredictable everywhere. Yesterday I received a comic that was shipped from Mexico on May 11th. Still waiting on 2 boxes from MCS, one shipped June 17th and the other shipped June 10th. But today (Friday) I recieved a priority envelope that was shipped across the country on Wednesday by @Briangreensnips. Go figure. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk Yes, Texas seems to be doing better now. My previous weekly checks from them had been coming Friday or Saturday, 10 days after being mailed. But my last one came on time, Monday, only five days (counting the weekend) after being mailed. The most recent boxes I shipped to MCS have also arrived without delay, while previously (April, May) they took an extra week or so. |

| I tried UPS to send some packages. Supposed to be delivered on 7/1. "Mechanical delay" has occurred. Sometimes I feel like it would be easier for me to hand-deliver everything myself. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| I placed two separate orders from Midtown Comics on 6-17 and 6-18. I received one of the packages on July 10th but I have yet to receive the other that was mailed through UPS mail innovations which will transfer the package to my the local USPS for delivery. I called UPS and they stated USPS has the package. I called USPS and they stated UPS still has the package and they are waiting for the shipment. I'm assuming the package is lost since my other deliveries from both Midtown and MCS that both use UPS mail innovations have arrived safely and in a more timely manner. Hopefully Midtown will clear things up but I do hate how the package has to change hands between so many shippers. Now that I look at what I ordered it all seems like crap anyway. I really wish I didn't make so many purchases while heavily medicated. |

| I was supposed to receive a FedEx package from CBCS in Texas today and a USPS Priority Mail package from Michigan. Neither arrived today, and both are now supposed to be delivered tomorrow. If you received a package from CBCS recently, is FedEx still requiring signatures? |

| After calling USPS and UPS yesterday my package has mysteriously appeared and is supposed to be delivered today. I'm assuming they are just extremely backed up at the moment and I'm just happy it hasn't been lost. | ||

| Yes, UPS is being used by USPS to deliver bulk packages to them. I've had 3 lost in the month of June that were tracked to USPS but never delivered. USPS told me that the UPS manifests are flawed showing items sent to them that were never on the truck. A real drag to deal with because dealers won't believe you. I had to get a letter from USPS to send one guy and even then he was very reluctant to refund me. You can sign up for Informed Delivery for USPS, which sends you a daily scan of every piece of mail to be delivered that day and a list of packages coming as well. Yesterday I got an email showing 3 letters and 2 packages - no mail every came . . . |

I am still waiting on 2 packages, 1 package has been held in limbo at Hazelwood, MO for 5 days now, tracking message says "Shipment Received, Package Acceptance Pending"...normally when I track a package that arrived in Hazelwood, MO it is delivered the very next day.  |

| Yeah, USPS has been spotty at best. The red flag that gets my anxiety up is when you're tracking something, and all you get is "Arriving On Time," which guarantees that no, it's not. Quote: Originally Posted by HeinzDad Yeah, I got my first taste of this recently. Bought a Vampirella variant from MCS with plenty of time to get it, and send it out for the CBCS Mail-In Signing. They said it shipped on July 1, but UPS didn't do ANYTHING with it until the 8th. I got it this past Friday, on the day of the signing deadline. I sent some others in already, so I'm not totally out, but this was the one I really wanted signed. Oh well, next time I supposed. |
