USPS Strikes Again

[Back_Roads]

Mystery solved...
Betty Lou and I went out for breakfast. We were driving up the hard road that leads to our dirt road and I just couldn't get the image of that building out of my mind. I passed our dirt road and went to the Venue at the Runway that is located in an old converted hangar at the airport behind us.
I pulled in and was greeted by Darryl's (owner) wife. She was cleaning up from the wedding they hosted last night and preparing for another event today. She asked if I was there for a package.
She said she was going to bring it over after she got the mess cleaned up. She was pressed for time trying to prep for the event later.
I thanked her and didn't take up any more of her time.

So you got airmail at ground pricing ;O LOL

Yep, at the speed of one of those birds that Scott put the stamps on.

Just when you thought the saga was ended....
This Amazon order was actually 3 items but apparently it departed from 2 different Amazon warehouses.
The package that was misdelivered contained 2 of the items. The one due today had the 3rd.
As we were just finishing eating Betty Lou said there was a vehicle coming down the driveway.
I stepped out in my sock feet and asked that he just leave the package on the trash can near the gate.
He asked if I received the package from yesterday (he obviously knew too much). I told him I did go get it after figuring out where it was. Then I asked if he was the one that delivered. He said no, that his wife did.
But as I was looking down at his feet, ole twinkle toes must have been afraid I was going to cuss him out and threw his wife under the bus.... either that or he and his wife share the same flip flops, shorts and feet. Those feet are pretty unmistakable.
I asked if they use gps. He said no, Amazon makes them use their app and it's always wrong.
That makes no sense to me at all.... I have a mailbox at 60 Runway Rd, just like the address on the package that was delivered to an airport hangar on Airport Rd without a mailbox at all.
Furthermore, what was different about the delivery instruction from yesterday the the ones today? Same order, same address, same instruction.

Just to be fair.... I've been purchasing from Amazon for several years and this is the first time I can remember that a delivery was messed up. Yes, I have received things I returned for one reason or another but, I never had to go find my delivery.

I've studied the picture that twinkle toes posted and I can't recognize that dwelling anywhere near us.

I can't stop giggling. hehehe

Glad you finally got your package.

Yeah, I can't imagine anything worse than having to study a picture containing a man's bare feet. Those particularly.

Tinkle toes is more like it.

There is still hope for the Post Office.  I got some meds today from the VA today that were mailed in Feb 22.  Figure that one out.

Good grief. Thursday night USPS said the custom Buck knife Kim ordered was delivered to a PO Box in Fulshear, TX. Only issues being that we don’t have a PO Box and Fulshear is about 70 miles from where we actually live ha! Called Buck yesterday and their shipping dept. is looking into it. Checked tracking mid-day today, still had same info. Checked mailbox couple hours again and guess what was in there?! Tracking info still says delivered to PO Box in Fulshear. Absolute idiocy.

They can sure get Amazon to you fast.
The wife has 2 prescriptions from Meds by Mail that were sent from Kansas on 11-24 came to Houston then to Livingston 90 miles north where we live then went to Missouri City Texas laid there till 12-3 then showed moving through the network until today and now says accepted by Houston.  So meanwhile she is out and we'll see if it comes back to Livingston.
Just crazy.

Amazon must have some incentive for on time deliveries, that or they have penalties for late deliveries because the USPS even delivers Amazon packages on Sundays!

Sounds about right. The N Houston Distribution Center is the black hole of the entire USPS system. Always where the trouble starts. I’m from Huntsville so I know Polk County  . Hope y’all get your package soon. The Buck got here yesterday so we’re good. As well as the Cometa for our future SIL. Delivered on time to the correct place by UPS. I’m to the point I’m going to stop buying from places that only offer USPS shipping. Sad.

Actually it was Livingston's fault for diverting them to Missouri City.
