Order #1 placed Nov. 17th; arrived Dec. 5th (tracking itinerary was a freaking joke, parcel kept disappearing from tracker and then reappearing in inappropriate venues before getting back "on track" )
Order #2 placed Dec. 3rd; arrived Dec. 5th (email shipping confirm arrived three hours after actual delivery)
Vendor for Order #1 was approx 1,000 miles CLOSER to here than vendor for Order #2.
Both parcels were delivered by same guy at same time.
Parcel for Order #1 was less than two pound box shipped in grey plastic shipping envelope.
Parcel for Order #2 was approx six ounce small padded manila shipping envelope with two small items individually bubble wrapped inside.
Box inside of grey envelope #1 arrived kinda crunched, and grey envlope had a lot of visible wear markings, whereas manila envelope #2 showed no apparent wear.
USPS shipping can be both an extreme, and hazardous sport, as well as a lesson in efficiency; IOW an enigma of an experience to be taken at one's own risk every time.
