Title: Shipping
Post by: MacheteMable on July 20, 2015, 12:53:47 AM
so I bought {Karakas} from someone on Twitter. Did it through PayPals pay for goods service so I have some coverage for it.

Anyways it has been stuck on "Arrived at USPS Origin Facility" all week.

Has anyone had this happen before? And if so how long did it take to get to you?

Yeah that's a lot of money to be on the line because of the post office. I'm just glad I didn't have a tournament this weekend.

If you need cards immediately I always say ask for priority since its 2-3 days

The best thing to do would be to call them. That happened when I bought my laptop. But I called, and they helped me arrange a pickup time.

I have had this happen and it sounds like the sorting facility has lost it.  Taysby sent me a package one time that was stuck in limbo like this and said the same thing when checking tracking.  It eventually arrived but there is not much you or the sender can do.

Update: it actually showed up at my local post office last night. So looks like everything is good now. Should be getting it today.

USPS is such a cluster $&=% sometimes

This, they actually say on their website that if it hasn't changed and the delivery date shifts, it's considered lost. One of my Underground Seas is still in a UPS sorting facility and we're approaching a month since I ordered it. Hopefully you didn't use paypal gift, otherwise you might be in trouble.
Big transactions like this I use the PayPal pay for goods and hookers service so you have the buyer protection.

It came today though!!

Had someone flip out on me who lived in WA about my package when I sent it to them.

Apparently USPS sends from Los Angeles to Hawaii then to WA. They thought I sent it to Hawaii, but the package never said "out for delivery" while in Hawaii

Also all of my most recent mail got delayed a few days past expected arrival

Kinda annoying

I ordered a booster box from Boise Idaho (6 hours north of here)
it flew over me to land in Denver Colorado (8 hours east) so it could get on a truck to drive back to me...
Took 8 days from ship day to get to me, next time ill drive the 12 hours there and back...
I actually had the package re-routed to me, and then got cold feet and sent it on its way.

I mean I do when I'm buying it. Smell tells me what's dank and what's not. But I'm not actually shoving it up my nose.

Alrighty. Even here, where it is legal to buy, I can't sniff the substance. Just gotta go by brand name..

Doesn't this depend on the herb? Technically speaking here you do sniff the coco which is derived from a herb.
