okay, here we go....i bought an item from a seller 30 miles from me here in Honolulu, Hi.  this item was purchased on July 4th, 2007.  the item was sent out on July 7th, 2007 MEDIA MAIL, the lowest cost service.   everyday, i check the tracking on this parcel (book) and it showed that the shipper notified the P.O. on July 7th, 2007.  everyday i would get that same notification, until today.......it said that the package left the RICHMOND, California facility and is on its way back to Hawaii!!!!!!!!  how does this make any sense??????????  instead of sending it to me 30 miles away, they send it over 2500 miles back to San Francisco and then sort it to come back to Honolulu!!!!!!!!!    it will be at least 2 more weeks before i see anything come out of Richmond facility.  i think we are dealing with the dumbest, stupidest, most ignorant, senseless, idiotic, densest, asinine people, the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE!    see what our extra .02 cents get us??????????????????  i am sorry folks, but i have no respect for the USPS.  everytime we use them, we take a big chance that our buyers will never see the package ever again.......... I feel badly when i have to ask a high cost to ship something so it gets there.  seems to me that the USPS will only ship anything timely is when you have to pay big dollars for it!  so you can forget getting anything on time if you use regular service.   The USPS is not built that way............ folks, a warning, it will only get worse before it gets any better.....thanks for letting me vent!

i also wonder is there any complaint department that you can whine to the USPS?????

why is it that some dont leave a feedback?  did i sell it too high?  was the quality bad?  or are just some people too lazy to give proper recognition?  i just dont understand......

i see tons of sellers out there that sell something thats not too expensive but mke money on the postage...lots of money on the postage, tons in fact.... just an observation.

Many people want things NOW! and then pay with ECHECK which adds another 4-5 days to the already long transactions.  Sort of takes away from the pleasure of getting it now.

funny thing i noticed, people bid high and when challenged , really dont want to pay the higher price.  they use the higher bid to lock in their bid and when someone else bids higher and then decides to stop. the original high bidder doesnt want to pay.   i guess, if you really want the stuff, you have to set your price you are willing to pay, not use a glass ceiling. oh boy!
