My order shipped on Thursday Jan. 13
From Allentown area mothership...

I keep hitting the track button on the USPS system...
Nothing ..

Today I get 8:47 am Jan. 20 my package made it to the Philadelphia Package hub...

WTF??? That's 50++ miles from Allentown?
The wrong direction...

They used to send my stuff UPS THEN take it to the local USPS and it would be here in three days at most...

It's the 20th( 7 days) and it's in Philadelphia???

Why???

Don't fix something that ain't broke please...
Go back to UPS & USPS shipping...
N.O.T. USPS PARCEL SERVICE

I still LOVE CBID THOUGH...
just disappointed ☹️☹️☹️

They specialize in very low cost shipping for large and medium sized packages....
I would not call $22.95 to ship 90? Miles a "LOW COST"
OPTION...

BUT, IT IS WHAT IT IS ...
I BLAME THE USPS MOSTLY...

Well...
I got it on Friday the 21??? At 6:45 pm...
Box in great shape...
No complaints but 4 days later than the UPS FIRST THEN deliver to the local USPS office then delivery service they used to use..

So 13-21 is 8 days...on this new US parcel post service...
But I used to pay the same if not less on the UPS then USPS delivery choice...

Oh well .

Beggars can't be choosers and I saved almost 45-55% or more on the gars and merch!!!!

I recently placed 2 orders, both originally shipped "UPS Surepost" and even though the tracking stated they delivered the package......I never got them. UPS ground is what I prefer.

I got all my pipe tobacco three days early, but then again the ol’ “PM™️“ never shows up on the invoice…..but the sweet notes from Shana asking about my Only Fans page is always in there.

collectively, Cbidders historically/always complain about USPS and say how it doesn't measure up to UPS...

and yet when members individually send packages to other members, we use USPS...huh?

USPS is cheaper. Cbidders by nature gravitate to this. Otherwise, we never would've left the shpo

Usps gets my smokes to my door on the 4th day every time. When they use ups to usps it takes 17 days. I want to be able to choose the carrier.
