I bought an item off of ebay (a nuclear warhead, 1000 kilos of pot, and 30 GB of child porn) and the seller sent me a link so that I can "track" the shipment.


This is what the USPS "tracking" website told me:


The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on April 16, 2006 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.


So, I guess, if available, I'll be notified, if available, when it's in my mailbox when/if available. Thanks, guys. :rolleyes:

So you'll get your package. Along with visits from your friendly neighborhood ATF, DEA, & FBI agents. I say if you're going to jail anyway, make it Club Fed.

I love it when the package arives before the USPS acknowledges having received the package. Thanks for the tracking link.

how did Dean's itchy trigger finger not find this gem?

UPS's tracking is so much better, if i'm remembering right it's better than FedEx too

Dean is undoubtedly in over his head shipping and sorting junk mailers at $0.05 per letter. Meanwhile, I'm wondering why I still use the USPS at $0.39 a letter.

Because it's cheaper than anyone else?

Did it cost you more than $0.39 to tell me that? :confused:

You said letter so that's what I commented on.


Meanwhile, I'm wondering why I still use the USPS at $0.39 a letter.

All I'm saying is you use it because it's the cheapest way to mail a letter if you have to mail one.

Quit your ****in' whining and buy more stamps. 39 cents is a massive bargain. How much is a candy bar? How much is a coke? Stamps, candy bars, and cokes were a nickel during my lifetime. Let me know where you can get a 39 cent PayDay or Snickers. With sugar as the primary ingredient instead of corn syrup.

Mail early. Mail often.

TIA.

Anyways, the "tracking" website still says the exact same thing. Still no package in the mailbox.


I could do better tracking with my Ouija board.

We should do away with the board entirely and communicate with one another via the mail only.

I agree with Dean <gasp> that's quite a bargan for 39 cents.

If I had started it, it would have been an emo-bashing thread.


And the Postal Service is great.

My latest one:


Your item arrived at a shipping partner facility at 7:48 pm on April 25, 2006 in HEBRON, KY 41048. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
I'll keep you updated.
