@manuelabour, I would never expect a parcel to arrive by the date an online site told me, I would always give it a few extra days and then contact the seller. In the real world, anything can and does happen. Trains derail in the mddle of nowhere between states, trucks break down, parcels get lost and found again and Xmas time creates a huge surge 3 months leading up to the big day. I have a friend who works as a truck driver for the AP depot parcel crates and he was telling me at a Halloween party back in October about how parcel deliveries have been going crazy since the start of that month and everyone is working overtime and on weekends to try and get things delivered. It must have been so much worst in December!
@gwind55, that would make me very annoyed too. That's a long way to drive to get something you paid to have delivered to you. Basically you'll have to spend all day driving there and back in today's busy traffic and traffic signals everywhere! I wonder if you can contact eBay about that and get some kind of compensation, might be worth asking. The most they can do is say no.
@countessalmirena, I agree about StarTrack. I see my local guy going around here in his blue van somewhere almost every day and he works real hard, always leaves the parcels out of view from the road, never broken anything, and is a nice guy with a smile.
