Damn, and I thought the mail up here in Canada was bad. :o

that's what i said! i know mail to and from CA and AU can take months sometimes. lol. Which SUCKS cause what do you do when it nears the 40-day cut-off day for filing a dispute with paypal? HOPE the person really did send it and that the mail is just sucking? Or go ahead and file and IF the item arrives then cancel it?

I filed. I had a seller I didn't trust from AU going on near 6 weeks to get my items now and she wasn't very understanding, especially when I told her I was filing a dispute BUT IF THE ITEMS ARRIVED I WOULD THEN WITHDRAW. She blew her lid. So, I think I did the right thing. lol.

I've had that happen once, but it was an international package.

Yeah, international mail sometimes sucks. I've waited up to 3 weeks for a item from HK, where my sister has now TWICE got her things from HK in under 2 days (WTF?!). And now I am going on over 6 weeks in waiting for an item from AU.

But with IN the US I didn't expect this. I really thought it was gone and I was gonna have to redo it.

The mail system here in New Mexico is terrible always has been but I would have figured it would be better in Albuquerque, the thing is the postal service wants to make people go postal they send stuff every which way say they didn't get it etc

lol read it wrong, you were mailing it from abq but still the mail here sucks..

[grygon.livejournal.com]

agreed. sucks all around here in NM.

-nods- well I mean.. i dunno somethings here are good.

[grygon.livejournal.com]

@_@ WOW fail postage system or what?! I know stuff gets misdirected and mislabled by freight/courier companies (i.e. TNT, Direct Freight etc), but generally if the sender has written the corrct delivery address on the package there should be no problem at all. Could be just the postal worked being horribly slack.

I think the most I have ever waited for goods was a month and a bit x_X;...Can't remember if it was from the US or Japan though...England to Australia is pretty horrrible too :(....It would be nice if they system had a go over or something and see where mistakes are happening and try and improve on it.
