    Last year my Dexdrive + Central Station PS2 browser never came.

    Now, my PS2 Killzone beta have not arrived after 1 month of being sent by TDE.

    Damn Damn :angry :angry

    Thats still better when the mailman will spend 5 minutes trying to rubberband a package to my mailbox instead of getting out the fucking truck and taking the 30 seconds it would take to place the package on the front steps. At least you know it was lost in transit instead of having some random person be able to walk by and take the package. :angry

    The post office is pretty corrupt in Tennessee. Can't have the mailbox at the door, must be bolted onto a post, etc. Doesn't exactly help that the mailman is a asshole and shoves the damn mail in there (We had to replace 2 mailboxes due to that asshole). Add the fact that the post office threatened to stop sending our mail because we didn't put TWO bolts in (When the previous mailbox didn't, and was the same model).

    I would send you something else, but I'd be afraid THAT wouldn't arrive either. I also had a package take 3 weeks to go to the UK by airmail from here. :angry

    TDE don't worry about that. It wasn't your fault.

    Anyway, i still hope it shows up at my door someday :-(

    I lost a 150e package from Yakumo once, containing a White Saturn with Hori arcade stick and 34 games... blasted surface mail :smt022

    Funny thing is that I am living in an apt complex so the mailboxed are all together outside by the street. We only have 2 package mailboxes. So when a package arrives the mailmain puts your package in 1 of the 2 mailboxes and puts the key in your regular small mailbox. SOOOOOO when my F..in neighbours are too lazy to go get their packages I have to wait until one of the 2 package mailboxes is emptied in order to get my package. This can take up to a whole week. :smt067

    ukrainian post sucks even harder!

    i know what it is like... in ukraine there are rumors that the post office employees steal seemingly expensive packages. Last year our relatives in the US sent us a large package of clothes and the box never came :angry

    I still don't like mailing/shipping stuff. I mean, I have to do it, because I buy/sell online, but I never quite learned to trust it.

    Well ordinarily I have to agree with you....and my M8 selling all his games mailed a mini PC like the Apple mini...paid special delivery next day.....and it arrived 1 month later :-(

    BUT

    I mailed a 64DD Dev Kit to Your Tom on Tuesday lunchtime about 1300.

    I got home after work yesterday(Wednesday) to find an e-mail from him.

    It had arrived that morning

    So less than 24 hours.

    OK it was nearly GBP60 to post it but it was early 4 kilos an insured for GBP500 to cover item and postage.

    But it was pretty F---ING impressive :smt045

    AAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I just saw the postman through my window ignoring my sending out letters. I put my letters in the mailbox, raised the little flag thing like I am supposed to and nothing. The guy posted the mail in the mailbox but did not get the mail that was supposed to go out for delivery. Why are some people so stupid!!!
