USPS had a "pending pickup" on an item for me for like 1.5 weeks, coming from Maryland. Vendor confirms it shipped out. I filed a claim with the vendor, they started a replacement order for me. Next day the item shows up at my house and system reflects "delivered", no status changes in between. I find it very hard to believe that my item sat on 1 truck that originated in MD and didn't change hands/vehicles/locations until it arrived in northern Macomb county.
The kicker is, the original order showed up empty - this one was a replacement. Placed an order for a snowblower auger shaft on 4/3. Was on backorder forever....finally ships mid-June, and shows up with a nice 3/4" hole in the corner of the box. Shaft punched right through the box and was MIA. I get that it should have been packaged better, but damn. So, I waited another month for the replacement to ship.
So, this was already replacement #1, and they buggered that up too.
