Which carrier Ms Snap? I've been reading a lot of Fedex problems, like almost a glitch in their scanning system, sending **** all over the country, with some obvious routing patterns.

.

Not sure if it is USPS or some crazy **** like DHL. The shipment originated in China, so not sure how it was shipped once it passed through customs.

I had a package about a month or so ago do the same towns. Ended up getting it getting it fine. Weird though, I remember putting it into maps to show my less amused wife at the whole craziness.

Got the deer out back stood back up. 1st chance to get out there since the wind event. Found out the reason they fell was the zip ties busted holding the legs on. And I mean on all the legs. I think I'll re-ziptie them tomorrow. Today wore me out.

Fyi.... Black zip ties are made more for outdoors, uv and all. Guessing your whole setup is white, and had white ones one there before. Should last longer with black ties, if it doesn't contrast or stick out too much.

Yep, out of the box white. One per leg. Considering doing 3 per
But these haven't been outside an entire month.

Sounds like they could've sourced some better materials... I wouldn't doubt 3 white ones now would get you through probably this and next year too. Lol black ones might tac one more on that. Just a little fun fact, but I guess it's where you get them from too.... Mill, big lots etc...

Think it was Menards. Wife drug them home.

My favorite screwed up shipping story happened about 4-5 years ago. I got it in my head that I wanted to crochet an afghan for a gift. Ordered the yarn on Dec. 6, I think, which was really cutting it close. I picked the vendor specifically because they were located in Indianapolis, so I thought I would get it in time to get finished. That damn box bounced around from Indiana to Illinois to Iowa to Nebraska to South Dakota back to Indianapolis and finally to Crown Point, on January 10. USPS.

Well hell. I've got a package that made it all the way to Melrose Park, IL yesterday and then was sent to Hebron, KY today.

You got it, before it was sent?

 

[actaeon277]

Always overdo it when you anchor stuff down.

 

[Snapdragon]

In Jedispeak, "hu?" I haven't received it yet. "I've got a package" means "I'm waiting on a package".

 

[actaeon277]

oh

 

[Snapdragon]

I just checked again. It's still in Hebron, Kentucky. Apparently that's a big ecommerce center where lots of international packages come in through DHL and are handed off to USPS.

In before the regulars! Wet morning folks.

[Bill2905]

Good morning all. Awoke early this morning to wrap the last of the Christmas gifts before anyone could catch me in the act.

So you're saying that you're regular. That's a good thing.

Thing I don't like about shipments that hand off to USPS is that they can disappear into a black hole for a while before they resurface. Funny how we track our packages with technology and fret about them nowadays. In prehistoric times, you ordered stuff and just accepted that it would arrive some day but with little certainty about when. When our mom would order something for us from one of the catalogs, it seemed like it took a month for it to arrive.

Buddy (in rural SE IN) ordered his mom & dad Omaha Steaks for Christmas. The tracking shows they’re on the FedEX truck out for delivery for two days. Today makes day 3.
Tell me those won’t be ruined (if) they get there.

 

[chef larry]

One week to go. Wonder what Hallmark will be showing?

catalogs used to state "4 to 6 weeks for delivery"
