USPS records delivery delays

@bkeske Ironically, this is the only order that provided a tracking number. Five other separate orders mailed after this one arrived within five days.

Understood on the snail mail aspect of the service. I wish more Discogers offered the option of expedited shipping. 

@emaillists They definitely are according to Rueters. I see the FBI are investigating him for campaign-related fraud. And he's sent over $236m to his former company. Wasn't there a rumor that he was hired by the former president to suppress voting?

Well, the package arrived with a letter from USPS saying the package was damaged in transit and all but one of 9 records repackaged. So I’m down 8 awesome, researched, and paid for LPs. All because the crap US mailing system can’t do its job. Damn them anyway. I am very annoyed.

Ha, Jim, I "quasi jinxed" myself too. For the first time ever, I added the haul to my collection before I received it. I knew the bored deities were waiting to intervene.

Thanks Brian. It does. I'm in a funk about it. I'm out the cash too.

Thanks Tim.

It’s not even about delays per my original title. They delivered it 17 days later with a usps note saying it was damaged by them and sorry sh1t happens and tough luck buddy. YET, the box arrived looking intact with 8 of 9 records missing. Methinks something else is afoot.

The nice vendor on Discogs refunded me the loss.

We've no idea why USPS didn't just send on the records they claimed were damaged. The only one in the box was perfect. The well packaged media mail oversized box looked fine so hard to comprehend what really happened.

I made an order from Eastern Europe (free post office shipping) on the same day as one from Florida. The one from FL arrived a day later.
