I think we should allow massive profanity in a thread related to the United States Postal Service and I say this as a very dear longtime friend of mine is a union steward.

2 more packs of Colocasia bulbs from California. Both were due to arrive today. One is currently in Milwaukee, one is again in New Jersey. 

 

At least there's no blizzard this time.

Sorry to hear. I've always found USPS to work great.

I wish I could say this in a little classier more eloquent way, but they've really gone to shit the last few years. It just... It is what it is. UPS via Pirateship is cheaper and faster and more reliable. Pirateship does USPS too and it's more expensive than UPS 99% of the time unless you use the absolute cheapest we're gonna send your package all over the country option. 

Priority Express seems to work fine, fwiw. But I think that has a 3 day guarantee.

Again. I've got some colocasia bulbs on tour. Things usually go to Memphis then Jackson then here. These bulbs went to Memphis then to like 3 different cities in Georgia then Atlanta and now they're touring the eastern seaboard. They should have been here Monday. And I've got a box of live alocasia that made it to Jackson and went back to Memphis for some reason. Shoulda been here yesterday. Those were shipped Priority Express, not the mystery "let's just throw a dart at a map and send your package there" shipping.

Unboxing. It says frozen plants but they've all thawed. Still. 

 

This is why I use UPS. Everything was at least 3 days late, the bulbs were about a week late, and the caladiums I just ordered are coming from Iowa so 😬😬😬
