Anyone else wait way too long for a package? I'm waiting on a 64GB microSD card and it a taking forever.

Share your horror stories about items you ordered and either took too long or some kind of error was made in shipping.

I'm a delivery guy for a very maligned competitor of theirs (hint: Amazon). The main complaint we get is someone delivering to wrong address or something. We usually get rid of everything the day of. It's just sometimes the wrong people get it!

I don't order many things online because I'm the absolute worst when waiting for stuff to arrive in the mail. Anybody remember the "Simpsons" episode where Bart ordered a spy camera from an ad in a comic book, and then tortured the mail carrier with "Where's my spy camera? Where's my spy camera? Where's my spy camera? Where's my spy camera?" every day for six to eight weeks? That's me.  TeddyR

I dunno, it still seems sort of amazing to me that an item can be mailed on the other side of the planet and in most cases arrive within days at its destination. Considering travel times in the past, it's not a small accomplishment.

I agree, it's frustrating when something goes wrong, but USPS is still remarkably efficient for a government agency. I've had my problems with deliveries like anyone but they generally do a good job.

The only problem I've ever had with USPS was when our daughters were in college and we got them an apartment.  We wanted to have their mail forwarded to their new address, but the mail lady missed the little thing about only Anna and Molly's mail being forwarded, and sent all our mail - mine, my wife's and our son's - to their apartment as well lol.

And for some reason I always get my neighbor's Direct TV bill.  Three months in a row.  I don't even have a dish on my roof...don't know what's up with that  BounceGiggle

Post Office itself is...not exactly upbeat or contemporary design wise

Ours used to be very official and government looking, but they remodeled it and now it looks like where you pick up lumber at the back of Home Depot or something.

No, they're not efficient. I find that they are the antithesis of efficient. They are absolutely awful in every way shape or form. I've had so many idiotic issues with them in just the last few years to make me never want to use a postal service ever. I could rant all day on how they have f**ked me or my family members over for money and time.

I'm waiting for a couple of CDs to come in the mail from a trade I did with a guy in Washington State (I'm in New Jersey)...he got my stuff over the weekend but still no sign of his packet at my end. Of course, the near-constant friggin' snow probably isn't helping things but still, the waiting is effin' killing me. Haha.

As an addendum to this story I have lost my data in the microSD card's transfer.

Looks like I'm starting over on Fire Emblem. Good thing I transferred my Pokémon to Alpha Sapphire before hand.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
