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.

There is zero consistency with USPS. Some post offices are great, some are awful. Some are both depending on the day
My local one is a pit. The place is in total disarray, the employees couldn't give a shit about the customers. If they see that the line is ten people in, they'll walk away to go on break and leave it to the newest employee to deal with the line. The local post office I had back in NY was fantastic
Also, depending on the day, I have a fantastic mailman, or a complete moron. One guy somehow magically knows which packages have high value items in the box, the other guy will jam as much stuff into my mailbox that I can't open it. I wind up leaving a note saying "You have the box full to the point I can't turn the key to open it, please pull out all my mail from the backend and leave it on my doorstep"
Back in NY, we used to have a postman that must've been partially blind. We'd see our neighbors exchanging packages all the time (myself included) because he would constantly get the addresses mixed up. At one point, I would universally avoid USPS for shipping packages to me

Feel your pain, TMT. At least when I was morbidly obese I could lose weight.

£99 fucking customs charge for a shirt, a couple of tee's and a keyring. Done on the ass again by HMC, and not even the common decency to offer me a "reach around"

just spent half an hour waiting for my appointment
got in there and the specialist says to me "your robs friend right"
my good friend is a nurse and assists this doctor in surgery
and im like yep . my friend has told the doctor about the seriousness of my injury
so the doc pulls up the same xrays he looked at 3 months ago and says "see this pocket of missing cartilage? im worried about that, it appears you have a torn ligament"
this same doctor looking at the same x rays 3 months ago said that missing cartilage is nothing it just means you'll have arthritis when ypour older
so now in a month ish ill get a mri and god only knows when they will probably operate
talk about getting the run around! -
