I read all the posts from a few days ago abut the poor shipping...and now I am tearing my hair out !.. The worst one is a gift I ordered on Dec. 6... Estimated receiving date was 12/14.. Ok I can live with that. However, Every time I checked the tracking, a different shipping date and arrival date would show up.. Now, it seems , the package may have been sent to some other country !.. According to tracking, for the last 3 days, this is what shows up...
"PACKAGE HAS BEEN DISPATCHED FROM THE USPS INTERNATIONAL SERVICE CENTER FOR FINAL DELIVERY TO RECEIVER."
I've done some checking and what this means is..".the package arrived at the International Service Center and has departed the country !"
This is an item that was shipped from Ohio !.. Why would it even go to an International Service Center??
Next... A package I ordered in Nov. is supposed to be on it's way by Fed Ex.. It's been traveling from Wisconsin for over 3 weeks ! It has finally made it's way to Worcester, MA. Can only hope it doesn't need another 3 weeks to go up Rt. 495 to NH.. ( about an hours drive )
And another package coming by Fed Ex. According to the tracking record. it left the Manchester, NH FedEx facility 3 days ago for the USPS office in Goffstown, NH.. where I live ! Goffstown is 5 miles away from Manchester ! The latest information is.....
7:43 am Out for delivery
GOFFSTOWN, NHOut for delivery with the U.S. Postal Service
But, then that info is amended by this...
9:09 am In transit
GOFFSTOWN, NHIn transit to U.S. Postal Service
So, if I'm reading this right the package left Manchester for the long 5 mile ride to Goffstown 3 days ago...At 7:43 this morning it was sent out to be delivered to me.. and then at 9:09 Am it was determined to return it and it is now in transit TO the U.S. Postal Service. !!!
All 3 of these gifts are special items for my grandbabies. I am sooo upset ! I know that the PO and other shipping companies get extremely busy at this time of year, however it seems to me the errors and problems I am describing could be the result of untrained seasonal worker error. All of these errors , mistakes and shipping problems sound like the result of pure stupidity !
OK.. my rant is over..( for today..)
