Damn USPS!!!! shippers beware

[Kejtar]

So my Oakley shades started to peel (the frame that is), and Oakley said that they would repair (as in replace) the frame for $26.... Thinking that it's not a bad price, I make my way to the local USPS office and pay them $7 for shipping the shades registered mail with a return receipt.... Anyways, the damn SOB's have sent it out... but that's about all that everyone knows. They tell me that I have to wait 1 month from the ship date to trace something... GRRRR
I know I should have sent UPS or Fedex, but USPS is so much more convenient for me, and they have not lost anything for me yet... but I guess that recently the "neither rain nor snow" rule has been abandonded

So I'll see what happens from this point on, but I have a feeling that I will be buying myself another pair of Oakleys

Must be a CA thing. I can get shades at BP, Shell, Wal-Mart, etc. for about 10 bucks....for the good ones.

I hope these aren't the kind of Oakley's that you see Blazer guys wearing.....you know the type......mullet, thin mustache, wife-beater ribbed cotton tank top, earing.......

If they are those kind of Oakleys, the USPS did you a favor.

Don't go giving Fed-ex any credit.


The jackasses said they delivered both of my drive shafts Thursday. I was here all day. No Driveshafts.

They said that there could be a problem with the house numbers.

Sorry, ******** MY house is next to a Gas Station, and a Resturant.

8 inch high house number on the entrance to my porch.

Then it was, umm we don't know, they were delivered. So you will have to have the shipper file a claim.

I got me a UPS rant going right now.....

Overnighted a package from Chicago to the Dayton area on 9/30, paid for overnight by 10:30 AM.

Received a tracking email the next day that said aircraft problem, delivery scheduled for 10/2. Lovely, just freakin' lovely.

So, on 10/2 I called 800-Pick-UPS and was informed that I was entitled to a complete and full refund. My card should be credited within the next 10 business days. Life is good......

2 weeks later...... no credit on my credit card. And that UPS rep had no idea why it hadn't gone through. So, he pushes it again. Again, the 10 day thing.

4 business days later, I get a call from UPS about verifying some info. No problem.......

2 more weeks....... and I still don't see a friggin' credit. As of last Friday, I was informed that the credit went through on 10/27. The card company hasn't seen it yet, and as of now, the online activity still doesn't show the credit.

I've started the dispute process on this one.

Damn that's thexy. No wonder I married him.

damn kejtar, I would've taken you for a blue-blocker man.

LOL.... actually there is something funny to mention about that: While at Moab... we finally got to the Friday (dinner time) and Hagen's wife (can't remember the name...) says something like this: "Wow... I finally for the first time see you without your shades".... now I could have sworn I haven't been wearing them the whole time.... and now Beez who was there almost as long can't seem to remember me wearing them

Yea, I hate that! My Smith's have started to do that after only 8 years. Ethan insists that it is from falling out of the XJ at 50MPH, but I dont think so.

You guys must be more careful with your glasses than I. I buy the $10 ones because I usually lose or break them within 3 months.
