It's been in the same state for almost two whole weeks now! It's only a t-shirt, but still. This has to be a new record of sorts.

Somebody tell me they've had worse so I feel a bit better.

Welcome to smart post by FedEx. Combine a stupid method with USPS and thats what you get.


On another note. Why would you have something shipped from LA to Orange? WTF.

Apparently the company is in Irvine. I obviously thought it would take a week at max to come here, not have the shirt take a state-wide trip around before coming back.

That's crazy dude!
I thought it's funny how it keeps saying "allow one or two additional days for delivery" and they keep doing that.

Close. It's from teefury.com. Normally their shirts are pretty tacky/lame, but this one was too good to pass up.

This is the shirt:

I've had a package sent USPS, it arrived over 2 years later.

You have to be kidding me! You didn't try to flag down the package sometime during that 2 years? What was it?

5x OPA627 opamps and as there was no tracking, USPS simply said "oh, I"m sure it'll get there..." and didn't do a thing.

I have appallingly bad luck with USPS - I've had packages take 3 weeks to get to me and arrive badly damaged, I've had packages I sent take anywhere from 2 weeks to 10 weeks to get to the recipients, and fully half of the overnight USPS packages I've sent arrived anywhere from one to four days late ("guaranteed" overnight, my ass!).

I also once had a DHL package take 3 weeks to arrive and when I finally called to ask what happened to it, it showed up the next day absolutely filthy (sand and dirt encrusted on it) with a giant bootprint on it.

My bad experiences have been exclusively with Fedex. I havent received a single package from them without some sort of issue (delays, last minute changes, wrong address, sending it back to warehouse when I was home claiming I wasnt there, sending it back to warehouse after just one attempt, not bothering to update delivery date correctly and wasting my day since I was waiting at home, etc etc)

USPS has been good so far for me, has always worked out well, UPS is also ok, atleast they are better than Fedex with the whole tracking thing in my experience. Their dates are fairly accurate and change before the actual delivery date if it needs to change. Fedex almost always changes the date on the day of delivery for me.
