                    12 days and counting for a delivery from the UK. Have no clue what they (they= probably DHL) are doing - you could walk that distance in two weeks.

                          Jesus Christ Usps sucks… It takes almost a week and counting to receive a package sent from Florida to Missouri. To compare it takes a package two days to get from Gosport to Missouri. WTF. Ill never pay extra for USPS service again. Bunch of ballbags.

                            USPS Priority is really either awesome or complete shit.  I like the one-rate boxes, but transit times especially lately are all over the place, and tracking is fuct.  I had a shirt basically teleport from SENY to my place of work, as far as the tracking went.

                            Think it, be it.

                              Completely agree… My package has sat in Kansas City, KS for the last 3 days. I figured surely it would be delivered this morning and this must just be an electronic error. I have all my packages delivered to my business... So I head up to the shop and about 5 minutes after getting there I see our usual mail carrier as she drives right by. I go out to check if she maybe missed something... Nope. Two things to this I don't understand.

                              1. normally all east coast packages come through Columbia, MO to sedalia, MO (at least for me) why ship it nearly 200 miles further than its destination?
                              2. why, for the love of God, has that package been sitting in KC for 3 days??

                              ... Truthfully I know why, Anything associated with or ran by the United States Government is garbage, but I'm venting. There is so much inconsistency with these morons it infuriates me to the point of seeing red.

                              Deep breaths , ohmmmmmmm

                                This morning my tracking indicates my package has shipped to Columbia Missouri now…. Which means the mail truck would have to have driven through sedalia (where i live) and Completely by passed the post office here on the way. Never again.

                                  I don't see what the fucking problem is with USPS. My local post office is great. I just sent a priority package to Summerhays and it arrived in 2 days, just like every other priority package I send. As for express, it's almost always 1 business day.  Your IH stuff comes quickly from Gosport because Giles' pays for it through UPS. It's not cheap.

                                    As I stated, the problem is I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A WEEK FOR A PRIORITY PACKAGE FROM FLORIDA THAT'S BEING BOUNCED AROUND MY STATE. That's not a great experience as far as I'm concerned and I will never consider it satisfactory.

                                    I'm glad your usps is great however just because your experiences are always "perfect" doesn't mean everyone's is… In fact, I have a business and have problems more often than I don't with them which is why I have such an issue. It's not just a one time thing its nearly every single time I have to use them things get screwed up. Furthermore, I clearly understand the difference in the two shipping systems and prefer UPS and use it whenever I can.

                                      I have a brilliant postman who will chase me from place to place in Gosport, that does not a great postal service make.

                                      We use UPS because our volumes are so large we get extraordinary pricing.  I am in the process of negotiating the same inbound rates as outbound.  Once we do this, we will integrate a returns systems into the website.  If you need to return or send something to us, you will be able to use our account, create labels etc and get our rates….

                                        I believe there's another element to why the UPS gets here so quickly.  Whether it's because Giles is running shipments through a business or through UPS, the things seem to breeze through customs way faster than private shipments using other couriers.

                                        Think it, be it.
