U.S.P.S.

Ok, so usually I don't use our blog to vent but I just have to. As the granddaughter of a man who spent years working for the U.S. Post Office in my hometown, I am so upset and feel entitled to be able to say this.
I ordered a package a few days ago and have been tracking it occasionally (ok, once a day...I am excited for its contents=)). I saw that it left Lexington, KY on the 13th and today is the 18th. Should it not be here by now? Is Lexington really that far from here? I could have drove down there and picked it up several times by now!
If Grandpa were here and still carrying the mail (he had a walking route), he could have walked there and back I am sure;)
Anyway, just venting. And this is why we have set most of our bills to be automatically deducted from our account!
This week the USPS gets a very low rating from me!
Oh, and just because Amazon says that you will get it on May 21st doesn't mean they have to let it sit at some unknown location so it gets there on the exact date! I don't think it would hurt anyone to have it arrive a little early=)
Ok, enough complaining!

Yeah, what are you expecting? Did you get it by the time they said it'd be there? I've had a few packages that have sat somewhere for a few days and it frustrates me. It happens with USPS, UPS, and FedEx.
