Reply #3: To be honest - it's Bush fucking up yet another piece of the government

[NewJeffCT]

I had sent something out via Express Mail on a Saturday - guaranteed by Monday noon. It was a few states away, and it was important that it get there quickly. The person on the receiving end had promised to contact me as soon as it was received.

Monday afternoon passes, no call. So, I called to make sure they hadn't forgotten to contact me upon receipt. Nope, no express mail package.

So, I log onto the USPS website to track the package - on Sunday, it was mis-sent from Springfield, Mass??? Monday, it was sitting in Lexington, KY.

Tuesday, it's still listed as being in Lexington on Monday. No status available for Tuesday.

Wednesday, it finally gets shipped to the right town, but no arrival.

Finally on Thursday, they get the friggin' package.

I've rarely had any problems with mail until the past few years, and never with Express Mail.

At least I got my $16.95 refunded - but, I'm lucky the receipt said it was guaranteed for Monday, because the post office website that they double-checked to verify said it was not guaranteed until Thursday?????
