Ah, that's where being an Amazon Prime member pays... I bought a Nitecore 4D and had it two days later, no shipping charges. They ship UPS.:)

Have you gone to the USPS website to track? I have found that the phone apps seem to lag behind the tracking on the site. I doubt it would be that far behind, but it would be nice to see if there is any difference. Hope you get your packages soon!

Finally getting an order from Liion Wholesale today after being 8 days later than the original tracking said. Cotton 2 days late, wire 2 days late and my order from Mama J's is also going to be a day late.

And too my wife sells vintage stuff on Ebay and she's been getting people bitching about their priority mail taking 4-5 days instead of 2-3 so this week and last week are sloooooow for deliveries.

I'm sure the holiday has something to do with this, lots of people like to take vacation around this time and I'm sure postal workers are no exception to this.

Florida USPS is the worst.

At least once a month, I place an order for E-Liquid that ships out of FL and it always sits for a few days before it makes its way out of the state.

Once it makes it over the border, it really starts to move.

i have gotten prime shipping an dit has arrived priority mail
I have too, it depends on if it's fulfilled by Amazon or the vendor, but either way, I've always gotten my packages on time with Amazon (UPS 90%+ of the time).

Glad to see I'm not the only one stuck in the LightningVapes black hole.

That reminds me of the vaporbeast order I had that took 4 days to go from basically one side of la to the other, but once it got out of la I got it quick. Guess all that sun messes with those poor postmaster heads or something.

Last Friday I mailed a package to a friend. I'm in KY, she's in NY. Tracking said TWO days ago it left KY, the day she should've gotten it. 2 days ago?? So I checked tracking yesterday... it's in Puerto Rico. WTF? Today... still there, in a different city. I love how the top of the page tells me it was delayed in transit. Well, no shit.

I think the USPS should raise postage rates so they can provide better service. Oh wait!!!! They've done that, over and over and the service has responded accordingly....worse each time. Maybe they should us reverse psychology and lower their rates, and maybe the service will improve. (Yes, I'm removing my tongue from my cheek)

I have the same problem here in West Palm, Fla. My favorite though is when some items travel all the way to a main USPS hub that is 1 mile from my house and then are sent to a UPS hub 10 miles away and then arrive by brown truck at 7:30 at night the next day!

Had nothing but GREAT things with my USPS. Seriously This month I have had about 30-40 packages come, everything was perfect.

In fact I just got this today!!!

Normally, I do. The last 2 incidents, not so much. This last one, just has me completely stumped.

My only complaint is that i get 1 extra day added to my mail. KW stands for Key West..i live on an island 100 miles from mainland connected by one road. Nothing with USPS is considered overnight. Even then, everything is still usually good. Most of the mail people we end up knowing and becoming friends with. On a 2x5 mile island, you tend to...anyhow, sorry about your issues.

Isn't Florida all retirees lol Seriously the USPS can make a vendor look bad sometimes. We put the order together and ship it and if they screw it up people blame us !

Oh by the way what's up Tony ! I was in Boca for work for 3 weeks and I did manage to get enough time to get completely dive certified and rent some jet skiis. Last dives were in 2006 and it said I was certified but that was with an instructor. So I did a refresher dive, some tests and a wreck dive and a drift reef dive and now I'm fully certified to dive alone. Next time I'm down there I'm going to drive down by you.

Ha, no its not at all.

Any customer that blames a vendor for a shipping issue needs a good a$s whoopin.Sadly people are so stupid these days, they simple just want someone to blame and to get something for free. Its that 'self entitled' generation we live in. I wish i had an answer for this.

I am a Dive Master myself, so when you come down we can surely get some tank action in. I freedive to around 60-70 so if you're up for that we can make that happen as well :)

Maybe it'll end up in Guam next, that's still technically the us just like Puerto Rico is. :p that's a strange one for sure. Although I did read once somebody had one go from FL to Alaska enroute to Ohio I think it was. Gotta love the government for not owning a globe or an atlas.

No bad luck with them here.
But then again, the north east does tend to get better treatment due to the higher population density :p

But for what it's worth, all it takes is one idiot in a distribution hub to toss random packages into random trucks when nobody is looking and then you get a package from Kentucky going to Puerto Rico instead of New York. And I'm sure we all know how common it is for people to just not give a shit when it comes to doing their job properly.

Call the 800 number and open a Case. I had a package that came into JFK which is 12 miles away that went to the ISC (Customs) in NYC. Then it was sent to Connecticut and the New Jersey to finally come back to Brooklyn, New York. Sat there for 4-5 days until I opened a case and had my package the next day by lunchtime. Then 4 phone calls to check up on my satisfaction. Make some fucking noise~!
