These guys are really going at it.

LOL, Squantos. I don't remember what kind of monitors they were, but yes, they worked perfectly!

Always trying to be safe here, my friend. How goes it on your end?

So THAT'S what happened to the package that I ordered???

[Squantos]

Getting ready for some back surgery so I'll be off line for a bit. Gotta fix all my old discs smashed by thin air PLF's. Damage is taking a toll these days.

Hope yer well..............Stay Safe !

They keep building larger post offices, have place to buy extras that have no one to wait on you, waste a lot of space with little leaflets, still have long, long lines. Why not spend money on more employees instead of all the useless extras. Unless you send priority they contract out their shipping. Then they wait until they have a full pallet for each zip code before shipping. Fortunately there is a mail box place near by where you get fast service and none of the hassle. They are for me.

Both suck because they do not ship to men and women serving the USA military that only have APO/FPO addresses.

[MississippiMan]

OOOF! Keep me posted, Squantos, so I can send up some appropriate prayers, my friend.

Will do.......a few weeks more of tests and cat/MRI scans and I'll know for sure.

Stay Safe !

FedEx sounds like past tense alimony payments...

They won't deliver to APO's! I'll have to add them to the unPatriot list with PepBoys. They fired a few people because of their service obligations and tried to make it out to the employees "undependability". Until that came up I thought they were just pirates robbing people. Now I know that "People Are Our Business" really means giving people the business financially AND idealogically.
They quoted $300 for a repair, $1200 when I returned to pick it up and the old Cavelier wasn't worth two grand in good shape. Caveat emptor.

All the value of .37 cents for a cost of 3.85!!!

LOL. Right on. I've raced packages to myself to test the service. Invariably, regular mail gets here faster than "Express". I went down to Customer Disservice at the PO and complained about the slow, indeterminate delivery of "Express" mail, and he pulled out a code regulation book that they had underlined (obviously a common complaint) that defined "Express Mail" in the exact same handling procedure as the regular mail. It's just in a more colorful wrapper.

It would be fraud if it were not the govmt.

They won't deliver to APO's

That's because the USPS has a federally mandated monopoly and won't let private carriers deliver to APOs.

I knew, even before I ever used it, that priority mail is first-class mail.

I have no idea what express mail is.

Everything I've sent via priority mail has gotten there in 2-3 days.

You can't track the packages though.

BTW, 37 cents is only for the first ounce.

It took 90 cents to mail my income tax return...
