Have a number of shipments from AliExpress & eBay floating around somewhere :-\ I've been informed one of the AliExpress items is scheduled for delivery today by the USPS. Upon checking I found that package arrived in Atlanta GA from overseas, then sent to Memphis TN, then to Oxford MS, then Jacksonville FL, then Washington DC, then Greensboro NC, then back to Jacksonville FL, and now finally to Clearwater FL (my location) :wtf: No wonder so much stuff gets lost in shipping, it seems like the next location in the delivery sequence is a random location :o Best, |

It does sometimes seem like a random process. A while ago, I was waiting on an order from Amazon. They have a service where I can actually SEE where the driver is on a map in real time...and you can refresh the screen..."there are 6 stops ahead of you"...."there are 2 stops ahead of you"....It got to YOU ARE THE NEXT STOP [oh, yay!]...but then no delivery and no joy. Required a re-ship with the message (eventually) that it was damaged in shipment. Now, I hope the driver did not get in an accident and prefer to think that at the critical point, it was noticed that "I don't have that one" :) |

Well... it is not surprising, small 20g package from Aliexpress can get lost. But whats more suprising, that our fucking piece of shit postUSSR country's post office, can lose a 30kg of power supply. :box: |O |

Recently had two packages with a hole on the side and one with a opened bottom for peeking in. :palm: Apparently they were not interested in the contents. ::) |
