I order and pay for my medication on line through Kaiser and two days later it is delivered to my address. On Sunday I ordered an Item from Weaver Leather and just got notified that it is being delivered by USPS and is due on 8/29 by 8 pm. It use to be that it would take mail 3 days to cross the country now it seems like it wants to take the scenic route. Have a good day everyone

I had a friend order toilet paper back when there was a shortage. The vendor said it would be 8 to 12 days delivery. (He found out later that the order was coming from China, It went from China to North Korea to a place just out side Hong Kong. The was shipped to the United States. Once it arrived in Los Angeles , then it ended up in several places (LAX, San Francisco < San Diego, Indiana and finally was delivered to his home in Texas 98 days later. It took 7 days to reach the US from China. The other 92 days it toured the US

Did it have the appropriate VISA as well as vaccinations for its tour of the US? Sorry, the devil made me think/write that!

Might be great until you have to deal with your meds through the VA. The problems that plague the USPS lie with those whom run it, and will never be fix till they step up and correct the problems.

I may be unique in this post, but I have on time deliveries from USPS, Fedex and UPS services. I appreciate the difficulties and experiences of others whose deliveries are not up to par. Perhaps I'm just fortunate.

I have Optum RX. I never have had any issues with delivery or refills. About 5 months ago, I put all my prescriptions on auto refill. You might give that a try.

Good luck,

Been doing the same with Optum RX for the last few years, no problems either.

Interesting. How can so many people make so many mistakes? Were this me, i would carefully check address info on delivery just to make sure it wasn't a human error on the senders part.

My best stories are-

Sent payment to American Express in Dallas in their envelope. They even have their own ZIP.

Letter was returned after a week with envelope stamped "ADDRESSEE UNKNOWN"

Sent my Australian passport (this was 50 years ago before I had American citizenship) to the Australian Embassy in Washington DC by registered mail. There was no reply for several weeks and eventually I called the Australian Embassy and the clerk said to me "we have no record of ever having received your passport". I said, that I have the signed receipt here stating that it had been received. She said whose name is on that and I said "S. Klein". She said we have no "S Klein". So we disengaged and I sat there wondering what the next step was when the phone rang and it was the visa click again. She said "your passport has best been delivered to us-from the Austrian Embassy". Nuff Said"
