[quote name='Smokin'Tone' date='Nov 26 2002, 01:06 AM']I think ya guys get a little over zealous with the hunting boxes down sometimes. You gotta understand the condition of NY's PO's now, post 9/11. It's hard enough coming in and getting the 3rd degree, but having to almost declare packages is crazy, but a fact of life now. The process that I understand especcially at that particular office is that even if you drop it off, it may take up to 2 days for it to leave. That office has a radiation machine, so everything gets radiated, xray'd and a rectum exam before leaving. I'm sorry that it's a delay, but when it comes to service, that office is the best around.
I had one pass in the past end up being held because when they xrayd it, it looked like pipe bombs to them.
So that's what I'm stuck with here. I don't know what else to tell y'all.[/quote]
Tone,
Not over zealous, I just didnt know how long it normally took the USPS to update tracking info. I usually deal with FedEx or UPS and they are real good about keeping tracking info updated. I guess more than anything I was surprised that the USPS had not even entered anything. I noticed this on a couple of other packages that I have sent. One time, the person I was sending to got the package before anything was entered.
As far as waiting for the box - I have all the time in the world
I sure do not plan on going anywhere (although I would like to sometimes
)
