Rant on shipping

Just have direct payment from a checking account. No charge for this.

The less people that have access to my checking account the better. My son's private school is the only entity that can withdraw money from my checking account, and they screwed that up recently.

I still have some companies charging $2.95 to $5.95 for using CC.

I had a $6000 dental procedure recently and paid by credit card. I asked if they offered a discount for paying by check, (to save them CC fees of probably $150+), nope. OK, I’ll get some card points.

I pay power bill online by CC and get 1.5% cash back, also save the stamp price.

Pay mine with a CC and I get dinged the merchant fees, 2% I believe it is. Mind you our power corp charges you if the the wind blows over 5mph.

Someone mentioned Purolator. Here's a delivery I'm expecting from Ontario. Made it all the way to Truro which is about 20-25 minutes up the 100 series highway and I got this this am. Looking outside its sorta sunny, no wind -2C, roads are completely clear. I'm in the midst of a chat with 'Ushindi ' at the moment who probably has no idea what snow is....we'll se how this goes.

Here's the answer:

I’ve never had an issue. But to reduce the likelihood of problems I set up a special checking account just for monthly bill payments.

Another package of motorcycle parts was supposed to arrive today. What do ya know? It last scanned two days ago, and has not been seen since. It’s like once it arrives at the distribution center, things disappear.

50% of my USPS deliveries lately, never show up.

Time for you to go have a talk with your local postmaster.

I had one package get so close I could have rode my bicycle to pick it up. Instead of being delivered, it ended up out in Iowa somewhere.

Sadly nobody knows where mine end up. And I wait weeks, or longer, to get refunds from the sellers

I now currently have three packages lost at the same time, in USPS purgatory. It’s so bad, news stations in Indiana have been contacting politicians about why their constituents are waiting 30+ days for packages.
