Dealing with the USPS

[CrusaderNINE]

I'll start this off by saying that I fully admit to being VERY impatient and tend to stress out over stupid stuff.

I bought a graphics card through ebay (not the issue) and the seller has sent it to me through the USPS with Priority Mail and it is supposed to be here, in north western Washington State from southern California any time from this last saturday to this coming wednesday. It made it from California to Washington in less than 24 hours but has spent the last 3 days in a town about 2 1/2 hours from me in a post office, is this normal? I know they don't deliver on sunday and they still have tomorrow and wednesday to get it to me, but its frustrating that it moved precisely nowhere the entirety of saturday and today.

I wouldn't worry about it. Should be there soon. you also have two days left! I hate USPS, never use them

Do you have a kind of track and trace code. Call your post office. See why its on hold.

 

Well on the other hand they are just very very slow in delivering wont really worry about it. If it takes 1 more week than call.

Yeah, like I said, I stress out about small things. If it were up to me, I'd be using UPS.

I wasn't going to make a big deal about it unless it didn't show on time. I feel like if I call before its "due" I'll get the customer service spiel not unlike the ones I give in my retail job.

Dont worry. I guess you will get it in the next 2 days.

It's 100% normal for any courier to let packages sit for a few days and handle ones with sooner due dates instead. I had a newegg box that sat at their building for four days until it was shipped an hour to my house.

That makes sense, I don't have to like it though lol

My last update says it left the facility it was in about 2:30pm yesterday the 8th, but hasn't arrived anywhere since.
