Postage Facepalms

Really?!? Homeland Security? That is nuts!

So I called Australia Post today to find out how my express post back to me was coming along…

Surprise, surprise “no express post request was put in” so I now have to wait until I move to get the cards. Which means I won’t have them for another 3 weeks.

I’m furious to say the least.

Good news though, I ordered another 2 boxes from AmiAmi and they are very close to me. Next suburb actually. (Watch them screw this up and send them to the next state… someone may die if that happens lol)

GOOD JOB USPS, I can’t wait till it gets to France.

It is a good Friday.

Happy Easter to everyone or Happy Passover if you are Jewish.

Good to hear mate!

Update on mine…

One of my packages is now 15 minutes away in drive time. The other is still on the other side of the country… This is almost comedic…

Friday I received a regular postcard from the US… 4 months too late :blush:

And Today I received some cards I ordered in February… already had an ebay claim open etc.
I also don’t get why it was stuck in customs, it was below $20 value so I didn’t have to pay anything.

Haha. That’s obnoxious. Of all the packages to get stopped.

I have 2 packages coming from AmiAmi, they should be similar size and weight. Package A shipped 11 days before package B. It looks like package B will arrive at least a day before package A.

You know what’s even worse? Those time stamps mean that the package arrived in the United States on August 11 or 12, and then sat in the sort facility in New York until August 27.

And there’s not a damn thing the Japan Post can do about it other. Because once it’s in the hands of the almighty USPS, it’s nobody else’s business. (puke)

Thats the same thing that happens to me when I used to use Royal Mail to ship orders to PSA, it would take around 14 + days minimum for it to get their and I pay £15 for the service. I started using a fedex through parcel2go. It might cost £30 but its a next day international shipping and speeds things up alot.
