Rant about the Postal Service
Purchased a Ken Stabler Mexican Card (1977) off eBay.
I paid for it immediately and the company I got it from mailed it out the next day (insured with tracking number) so I have NO problem with the company I purchased the card from.
Here is the tracking information:

The Problem?
Did you notice it took 2 days to go from New Jersey to Detroit Michigan.
It took 4 days to go from Detroit Michigan to Pontiac Michigan (about 30 minutes to drive / 33 miles).
Then it took another 2 days to go from Pontiac Michigan to my address! (about 1 1/2 hours drive / 78 miles).
Now....to get to Detroit from where I am it is a 1 1/2 hours drive / 78 miles.
So....it took 6 days to go 78 miles?
NOT a happy camper with the USPS.
The card DID arrive in great condition....but comeon....what's up with the delivery service?

At least you got it, which is more than I can say about two of the cards I bought and were entrusted to the USPS lately :(

I bet you they are trying to save money and wait until they have a full truck to move it to the next stop.

I'm having similar issues with some packages - have a few trades that were mailed last week (or longer ago), and I have yet to see them...wondering if it was just me, but I'm glad (in a way) to see that it's not...glad you got it, at least!

They are trying to save money. That is the only thing I can think of. But also if you are paying for a service and you don;t get it, they will refund your money

I can top that.
I bought a textbook off of Amazon. It left Seattle, Washington, traveled to Ohio where it sat for 3 days, then to Maryland for 2 days, then to Tennessee where it sat for 2 more days then was returned to the seller in Washington marked undeliverable.
I live in West Virginia..............
