Ray,
I feel your pain brother. Takes my stuff forever to get here. And I have to use USPS or I get double or triple the charges from FedEx or UPS. A recent order was $46 via FedEx or $22 by USPS.
I always thought only death and taxes were certain but living in Hawai'i you add shipping and handling.

USPS is much cheaper. But they are slower, and often just jam the yellow notice in my mailbox saying they tried to deliver a package, (false), they never even tried, and go to the Post Office and pick it up the next day. UPS has the best service.

Ray-- Sorry it didn't arrive as expected. My problem with sending stuff via UPS is that the nearest UPS service counter is 2 towns over, and is a contract station at that. FedEx is about 50 miles away. We try to support our local post office, hoping to stave off the inevitable closure... our local letter carrier works out of the next town over, and his mail is sorted in Rapid City, about 50 miles away.
Let me know if there are any further problems.

My pleasure doing business. USPS has done the same to me, when tracking an expected package. Have fun cutting it up...
