My re up shipment of food and supplies from Foster and Smith was to arrive today so I came home early and sat and waited all day for it.After no delivery made by the five pm I went on line to track my order and learned that it was transferred to the Post Office...no reason given and now I have to wait until they get around to delivering it.Thank goodness it is not a live fish,rant over.

They probably did that cheap combo thing where it transfers to a post office and then delivers USPS. They did that with me last time, it went from 20 min from my house and went 200 miles north to another state to a USPS sort facility, then took two more days to get delivered! I would have just picked it up at the 20 min away place...

Lol,well I did and I didn't....I had already finished up four hours overtime and didnt really feel like staying longer....Thing is,there is a post office location right down the street that I could have gone to.Heck my neighbor must order everything they advertise on TV as she gets a brown truck delivery almost everyday yet they couldn't bring me my package.

The problem with couriors nowadays ... is everything thing is electronic. One little glitch or smudge on the barcode, their readers shows a discrepency. Thats excuse enough for it to be taken to a sorting station or local post office. And that doesn't count regular screwups either. Whether it be UPS, FEDEX or PURO. They all use those scanners now. Wasn't fish related ... but I was sending some Bass Pro socks to a cousin on Vancouver Island B.C. from Calgary. 2 days service ... a little over a week later he got them. It went via Toronto, Ont. (was flown to Toronto and road a truck all the way back west).
