Forums - General Discussion - Tonight w/ Star: Mail Delivery

One of the most annoying and helpless situations in entire world is mail delivery. You track your package to see where it is, realize it's literally only a 10 minute drive from your house, just to find out it's going to be delivered tomorrow...

I mean, technically you COULD get it "early" by calling up the mailing office to pick it up, but, in every situation I've tried that -they require you call the post office 24hrs ahead of time... which, would be fine, if the post office was consistent! But the packages sometimes end up in the post office 15 minutes away instead, which makes the situation random! 

Or, worse... the most fucking evil thing is when you get a note saying to pick up your package at the facility because you didn't sign for it (any company that makes you sign for delivery is pure evil), ya get there and the people tell you: "Oh, the truck is still out for delivery." and to that I ask 1. If they can tell me its location so I can get it directly -to which they say no, and then I ask when it's coming back to which they reply 7pm, conveniently AFTER closing. Which is even worse on Saturdays...

I remember once I ordered a DVD set from Malaysia (which turned out to be bootleg but idc, still works fine), waited an entire month, only for the DVD to be wrong and was a Japanese live-action movie, to which I'm like, "weird" only to open it and find a Korean drama movie inside XD They had me keep it, and later sent me what I bought. But still

Only thing weirder I've gotten in the mail was a package I randomly got from China, and when I opened it, it was a blank piece of cardboard that had grease stains on it...

I like the way amazon does it. They do weekend delivery and they even called me on my phone # when it was something expensive to let me know that they were coming soon. Gotta love Prime

Don't really have problems with mail, but my friend had passport problems 10 days before he leaves. Apparently it was indicated as completely delivered, but he didn't receive it so he starts freaking out and calling everybody and that he might lose out on his job opportunity. The next day it came though so it was all good.

I hate it when you are waiting for your delivery and it turns out it's not for you and then you wait and wait and the moment you decide to go to the bathroom for a leak or shower, that's when your delivery finally arrives and you miss it.



Or they deliver on time, don't ring you up, leave and then pretend you weren't home while you were eagerly waiting for your package only to find out you have to pick it up the next day. There are some really shitty mail men out there.

I have totally other problems with mail delivery. I'm an introvert guy and freak out everytime I receive a package. I just don't want to see that delivery guy. The absolute worst thing is when they begin to talk about something. Dear god, I don't know what to say in such situations. Leave me alone, I don't talk with people I don't know! I'm panicking like crazy, somebody help me!

Can't say I've really had any problems with mail. Always arrives on time. Probably helps that everything I've ordered for quite awhile has been from Amazon and I have Prime so... guaranteed 1 day delivery FTW

Its not about coming on time. Its that it couldve come earlier

That's not being an introvert, that's being a nervous wreck.
