Purchased something on eBay and somehow my package has been routed through the three worst usps facilities in the US. After hearing the horror stories, I can only imagine they are raping and pillaging my package.
The fact that "Priority Mail 2-Day" is trademarked as the service name when 2 day transit time isn't even guaranteed should warrant a class-action lawsuit. It's fucking misleading.
>Sell tons of shit on eBay
>Never really had problems with things getting damage in transit
>Usually sell shit in the range of $20~$100
>My highest auction ever, ends at about $350
>Box arrives to the buyer, looking like it got ran over by a steamroller.
>Didn't bother getting insurance, because they rarely pay out on toys/collectibles, and I've heard this is a common case for others as well.
T-thanks USPS.

The LA sort facility is the worst sort facility, by far. The Chicago facility is 1000x better.
>>5648769
Is it really? I never have problems with it. What's the story?
>SAL
Never again.
>>5648769
the facts are opposite of what you claim.
>>5648836
How do they even do this to that big of a box?
>tfw Canadian
>tfw getting screwed by postage all the time
>tfw customs
It could be worse. You could be a canuck.
>>5648896
by all means show me this proof. Nevermind that there are countless stories on google about how shitty the LA facility is, far more than any of the other facilities. It's a shithole and everyone knows it.
>>5648988
Meant to say "show me proof of these facts" instead of "show me this proof"
>>5648988
there are also piles of stories telling that Chicago Metro is slow as a snail, and that the NYC facility steals stuff. I've personally observed the Chicago facility taking days to move stuff out.
>>5648836
Yeah, what happened to your parcel is definitely related to the shipping method. Fucking dumbass.
>>5649017
Every time I have a package enter the Chicago facility it ships out before the end of the day. Every single time, and it's happened at least 6 times. Every single package I have that enters LA takes 3 day's minimum, using EMS for both.
>>5649117
SAL ships via cargo ship and EMS ships via plane, so yeah, it makes a difference.
My local post office has, for a little while, had a serious backlog of packages and has been a general mess, something a post lady told me herself. I have very often had to go to the post office to pick stuff up, and that also isn't helped by the fact that my building has had incidents of package theft before.
However, they're not too far away, and just today two post people came and buzzed as many residents as possible to give them their packages. They've also usually pretty good about getting packages when they're in, or at least they have been with me.
I'm thankful for them. They work hard.
>>5649169
>SAL ships via cargo ship and EMS ships via plane
Completely wrong. The parcels don't have priority so they wait until they have space to ship them, but SAL ships via plane.
What you're talking about iscalled surface shipping.
>>5648939
Looks like it got caught in a jam on a conveyor line.
>>5648961
Seriously what's up with Canada Post.
>Bricklink order from BC (AB here)
>takes over three weeks to arrive
>Bricklink several orders from Okotoks
>takes a week on average to arrive
>one time took 2 weeks
>Bricklink order from Calgary
>3 hour drive away
>it's been a month now since it was mailed and never arrived
>Bricklink order from within my own city
>mailed this weekend
>has not arrived and it's wednesday now
Also pic related, I'm in Edmonton and this happened, seriously fuck Canada Post.
Has anyone ever requested USPS to hold a package to pick up? I always get "your tracking number does not have sufficient information to intercept."
>>5648836
Last time I bought something and used SAL shipping US customs opened the box, cut it into squares, and shoved the pieces into a new box with my stuff. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking.
I recently ordered stuff from amiami for the first time and seeing those boxes got me worried now
In relation to this thread the USPS in my area will ship my stuff undamaged which is nice but idk if this has happened to you guys
I'll be tracking my order and my stuff will be marked delivered but when I get home from work I find that it wasnt delivered and i spend the next 2 days trying to get my shit
This has happened about 3 times now and have lost one package
>>5649017
I never seem to have that problem, but I'm in the Chicago area so maybe that changes it somehow?
>>5649248
I'm in the middle of dispute with Canada post right now. They fucked up a 500 dollar shipment to me and instead of contacting the shipper or me they decided they would just mark it as I didn't want it and sent it back to the sender. They fucked up processing at customs by putting an incomplete and incorrect address and the customs paperwork and tried to hide it by placing stickers over it. I have a gigantic mountain of evidence against them but they will only let HLJ take part in the dispute so they have to do a mail trace. Mail trace ends next week but I have a feeling im going to have to complain to the ombudsman.
Been waiting a Month for a Manda order that's around £180. Hopefully it's not lost and is just taking a while to travel the world
>Motoko figma shipped from AmiAmi on March 30th
>unregistered SAL because I'm a cheap fuck
>still hasn't arrived
[worry intensifies]
I swear, anything coming out of Michigan takes 5 days to leave that state.
>>5651360
I'm kinda annoyed one of their faces isn't mirrored. but whatever.
>>5651360
Oh baby
>>5652857
Finally
>>5649169
SAL doesn't ship via cargo, it ships via the same planes EMS does. EMS simply has a higher sorting priority. FYI, if SAL shipped via cargo, it would be WAY slower like 2 months or something.
>>5652857
>>5652864
grats famalam, shame about the gun barrel
A small little Hasegawa Crane Game arrived yesterday and my Manda Kuroneko is in the UK along with my Amiami order. hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow.
Still waiting on my manda orders of Revo Annelotte/Aldora (and books) my figma splurge and an amazon order. postie will hate me whenever they arrive. Hopefully customs won't rape me on my £100+ orders.
>>5652953
Damn shame.
Whoever packed my box should be fired. Hair piece in sideways, rifle barrel missing. Thank god her paint apps are good.
>Hopefully customs won't rape me on my £100+ orders.
Best of luck pham.
Can't wait to see Anelotte :^)
>>5653033
Neither can I. It's been a long wait.
This is pretty much what I got, also getting one of those Capsule Machines and Taiko Drum Game
>>5652857
How did you get mail from the future?
>>5653101
By using a calendar system that makes sense :^)
>>5653069
Does it come with the prize toys or do you fill it yourself? Gashapon stuff might be cool.
>>5653180
it comes with mini cardboard boxes like the actual thing. You can fill it with Gashapons if wanted, though. I might do that, if I can find some decent ones.
>>5653179
Chart makes no sense.
Month: a number from 1 to 12, small
Day: a number from 1 to 31, medium
Year: a number in the thousands, large
>>5653233
What is hierarchy.
>>5653233
>Day: the shortest amount of measurable time without dividing into hours/seconds
>Month: a length of time comprised of 28-31 days
>Year: a length of time comprised of 12 months
>>5653233
That has to be the stupidest post on the board atm.
>>5653247
> the shortest amount of measurable time without dividing into hours/seconds
>365 days >> 12 months
There are 30.4 days for every month mate. Shortest time my ass.
>>5653377
>There are 30.4 days for every month mate.
Only if you combine them together, do you live 30 days at a time? Jesus christ.
This is taking the piss now lol, I just want my Spartan and Amazon!
>>5653471
>9 days to the uk
>taking the piss
y-yeah.
>>5653506
Nash that's fine, but it's been sat in customs for 4 fucking days lol
>>5653512
just wait until it's handed over to Hermes, Yodel or Parcelforce :^)
>>5653528
Parcel force.. Fuck that, I bought a £600 DSLR and bought next day delivery, took two fucking weeks and I had to track it down myself and drive for an hour to pick the cunt up from their fucking delivery centre. Parcel Farce more like, Hermes and Yodel have always been fine for me
>>5651170
Neighbors stealing shit off your porch maybe?
>>5653550
Nah man legit the USPS does not deliver my shit and say they do
I call them about everytime its happened an thats always the case (so far) i really want to know why
As for the missing one i might have gotten scammed from ebay so ive let that one slide
>>5653764
Possible they're holding it a post office for you?
I have a PO Box since I'm a poorfag living in a shitty apartment, so any time anything comes in for me I have to go to the local post office and pick it up myself.
>>5653802
This happened in Feb
I think it stays in the office for 2 weeks before sending it back
The odd thing about all of it is that the package didnt come with a tracking number so locating it was hard to begin with
I dont have a PO box or anything but i probably should
>>5653827
Ok, that sounds really weird. I think any sort of package in the US is supposed to come with a tracking number if it's sent via USPS.
>>5653835
Yeah thats what the people at the office said too
I tried to contact the seller but never got an answer
>>5653844
Damn, that sucks. Did you at least get your money back from what sounds like an obvious scamming by the seller?
>>5653855
Nope
Opened a claim with Ebay when i couldnt get my package but nothing was done
I havent bought anything from ebay since
Im not terribly upset by it tho
>>5653344
Until you uttered 'stupidest'
>>5653948
Keep digging dumbass.
>>5653994
I barely scratched the surface, mate.
>>5653908
Keep pressing them. I've heard eBay custserv is notoriously shitty, but if you keep heckling them eventually you'll get results.
>>5653908
If the seller never provided valid tracking that confirmed delivery then eBay should've resolved the case if your favor. Unless you waited too long or fucked something up somehow.
Try filing a claim through PayPal, I think there's still time.
>>5648896
LA/LAX is the worst one to end up in; You never had anything pass through it, if you know nothing of it. You'd be lucky to even get anything after a month.
>6k order arrives in a week and without tax
>3k order takes a month and gets taxed
win some, lose some
>buy toy last Sunday morning
>seller never uploads tracking #
>message them Wednesday
>get reply saying it went out that morning, they will upload tracking when they get home
>no tracking uploaded
>message them Friday night asking for #
>they upload a number this morning, number does not work
not optimistic about getting this one in the mail.
>>5655005
should add 2 points to this
>the seller is only 1 state away from me, a package mailed Wed should be here today at the latest
>the uploaded tracking # given today is one of those eBay auto-generated numbers from printing the shipping label at home, which are uploaded automatically
Hello, SAL. We meet again.
That's just one from Mandarake. My other SAL still hasn't left AmiAmi yet after about 3 days.
Least I should be getting Venom and Saitama's nendo through EMS soon. Praying they might just slip through HMRC's grubby mitts.
had an order coming from one state away ship to my city, only to be shipped 8 states away and get delayed by 3 weeks.
>a £200 manda order arrives in a week
>my £130 manda order is still MIA
I just want my qt Annelotte and Aldora..
>>5656930
what you order, pal?
>>5649017
Seems to be you're just talking out your ass.
I have packages go through Chicago every week and have had no problems.
>>5657586
Figma Anzu from Manda and Parform Labrys and a Koromaru keychain from AmiAmi. Still haven't received tracking info from the latter and Anzu's status hasn't changed either but I'm not surprised.
Venom and Saitama got stung by customs unfortunately so now I gotta wait for a letter from those bastards once again.
>>5659074
I swear to christ customs is schizophrenic or something. A 3k order got caught, but a nearly 30k order went by no problem
who here never have any issues at all with usps? You guys make SAL sound like the most unreliable shit in the world yet I've gotten all of my packages just fine, could it just be my location? luck?
>>5658469
seems to me you're a stuck-up cunt about it, so much so they probably fished you out of Anita Sarkeesian's trash.

Our mate the Post Kangaroo hops to our door in a timely fashion, says g'day, gives us our parcels which haven't been ruined and hops off to the next delivery.
>>5660832
Not the guy ur talking to but think about this.
OIL
Oil is a 3 letter word
3+3 is 6
6 is found 3 times in the devil
6 6 6
6X3 = 18
18 is the legal age a person can join the army
Army
Army is a 4 letter word
Do you know what else is a 4 letter word?
Iraq
The army goes to Iraq and the Middle East to get oil.
Iraq has 4 letters and oil has 3 letters
4+3= 7
7 can correspond with the G in masonry
G is in the center of the compass
Do you know what else is in the center of a shape?
That's right the eye in the triangle
The shape of the eye is a circle and the shape of the letter O is a circle
So oil is illuminati confirmed
>>5660875
Mind-blowing.
Would you trust this man?

Any day of the week, such a comfy show.

Man. I had that issue with UPS when I ordered something from Mattel. An $8 package was stolen off my doorstep. Thankfully Mattel replaced it but I had to use UPS's program where you could have your order held at a sorting facility because they wouldn't let me set the package to require a signature.
Then when my package arrived at the facility, I showed up and the clerk said it wasn't there. He walked to the back and he found it. Somebody didn't scan the package when it arrived.

Anyone have alternatives to sendico for yahoo jp? I'm done with them after using them for a few years because they can't English. They have a fee of $5 per auction.
>>5663222
Also the postal code is only off by the last digit +1. I'm shipping it to my university dorms and UCLA is in the address. It's surprising that USPS cannot identify the error and fix it, but I guess they sort by zip code first.
>>5663222
I just started using buyee, no idea how good it is yet though
