so - maybe it could be worse :corn:

Since Pierre never got Jacques' second request, I'd love to know what Jacques told him in the next letter.
Next time I get a letter from the IRS, I'll throw it in a trunk in the attic.

Old story by now

i just thought this one was funny

the item was originally projected to be here yesterday - I knew it would be late when I looked at the progress on Saturday

but since its going to be 50's/60's around here for several days - REALLY

:rolleyes:

Sold some stuff to a PGCA member here, and it arrived reasonably promptly. Not so with the payment. Original check arrived after a month. Buyer issued a second check several weeks ago. It has been out for delivery for weeks. Seems like the USPS service has deteriorated badly during Covid. My mail carrier says recent hires spend more time out, playing the Covid card than they do delivering mail

I have been reasonably lucky. Knock on wood. I just shipped my Super Fox and opted for insurance

I mailed Giacomo Sporting, in NY, a check on March 3. I instructed Marissa to please hold the gun being repaired until my check cleared the bank. I don't know if they did but I am scheduled to receive my MX-8 on Thursday of this week, according to tracking.

If that is the case it will have taken only 8 days for them to have received my check (from the day I mailed it), waited for it to clear the bank, and ship the gun to me. We'll see if it actually comes Thursday, but I'll bet it will.

I wouldn't ask for better mail service and UPS service than that.

My local USPS office in Hardeeville is awesome. They have been good and are hunters themselves.

Knock on wood again

I see your problem right off Rick. The huge clue is that the mail had to cross the Sheepscot River on Rte 1 in Wiscasset, ME - probably the most prone to traffic tie-ups in the East.

Boomerang mail
 

A guy from Virginian sends me a check. After 10 days it comes back to him as undeliverable. He calls me up reads the spelling of my name, my complete address; everything is correct. He wire transfers the money. I have it the next day. Sad state of affairs over there at the USPS.:rolleyes:

USPS Record
 

I may have the new record for delayed mail with the USPS. Art's in Hillsboro Missouri restores a Funken signed Pigeon grade for me. I send him a check on February 10th for the work. A month later I have to give them a credit card because the check never shows up. Today Art's returns the check, via US mail, to me that they just received in the last few days; A full six months after I sent it to them. Unbelievable!:banghead:

All those in favor of privatizing US mail services say Aye.

“Aye!”





.

Aye here!

Unfortunately it won't happen for a whole host of reasons. Most of them would be political and I won't/can't talk about them in detail here.

Aye here also.

My zip code, 21234, has one of the worse performance records in on the east coast. Sometimes we don't get mail for 2-4 days in a row then 1 or 2 days it will be delivered then it starts all over again.

I am so freaking sick of everything getting blamed on the ghost virus that never was.:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Not to change the thread but UPS is not much better. They have shown 2 delays in a gun shipment to me since Monday.... They suck too....
