Title: The postal service sure is slow.
Post by: Tupin on August 16, 2008, 07:36:11 PM
Okay, so I ordered a game on eBay from someone in Virginia and sent them a check for the price of it. I sent it like on July 26th, and he JUST got it today, three weeks later.

Missouri to Virginia in three weeks.  :|

What is this, 1787?

Anyway, when was the last time you've encountered incompetence in the Postal Service?

Couple years ago, ordered a game strategy guide and it took me like 6 weeks just to get it.

I entered the Okami Art Redemption Service. In March, iirc.
I've got nothing, not even an email they said they'd send out.

I sure wish it didn't take 2 weeks to get my SD card reader from the other side of the world.  I want my homebrew channel now!

I never got my sonic ear thing that the kool-aid company was giving away.

That was my favorite episode, right next to the one where he goes back in time to get more hair gel.
