    Dude over 50 sticks. Impressive! I can't believe even with the holidays approaching it will take them that long. I feel your pain.

    They just announced they are raising their rates too.

    I live all the way on the west coast and USPS somehow gets my Ccom orders to me in 2-3 days tops, for 6 bucks, nice.

    Yeah, USPS gets to Seattle in 2-3 days tops as well. For some reason the last 4 or 5 orders I've placed have all come UPS weather I paid for shipping or not, no matter how big or small the order. Is there some way to request a specific service without shelling out a bunch of extra dough? I'm sick of UPS...

    I'm pretty stoked about this order, there's a bunch of good stuff I want to try. But they need to get some good rest before I can start smoking anything and the sooner they get here, the sooner they go to sleep. I also have a Xi2 cutter in there and I'd like to be able to get some good use out of it in the mean time, but I guess my cheapo guillotine's will have to do for now.
    With todays economy I wouldn't wish a job loss on anyone, but if UPS's service doesn't improve I don't see how they can stay competitive especially with a rate rise.

    It took me 9 days to get me Man O War weekend blitz. The kicker is, it shipped UPS, who delivered it to USPS and they delivered it. Some new program that UPS is trying out. I was able to get my shipping refunded but thinking about again grinds my nerves!

    Yep, my delivery wait has increased significantly since CCom has been shipping UPS as compared to USPS. Furthemore, UPS doesn't update their tracking info either, the screen doesn't even give an estimated delivery date.

    Not disagreeing, but it still sucks to have to pay more for shipping.

    I've noticed for me, orders coming in UPS show a estimated delivery date if it's a significant order (something like $100 or more). All of the smaller orders have no estimated date. I think the lack of update info is because it's in a truck on the road. USPS goes by air so they can update every time it crosses a scanner. I can't stand UPS...11 Days >:^(

    I think the reason they don't give you a delivery date is because UPS might not be delivering your package. In my experience, UPS carried the package only, then gave it to USPS for delivery.

    I guess I might be the only USPS hater here, but once again they have screwed me. Tracked the package and they said no one was at my 9-5 business on a monday so they left a notice. Yeah, like that happened. Who knows where the hell they went to and at what time. None of the postal carriers in this state have ANY idea what they are doing or where they are going. It's so bad that we have considered purchasing a post office box so we don't have to rely on the delivery people anymore, since they not only lost my cigars (one thing) but the payments our customers make on their invoices (quite another). I can take delays but I can not take the lost packages anymore. UPS has rarely been late but NEVER lost one of my many packages. Thank GOD I can at least rely on them.
