    They did the same thing to me, when I went to the post office they told me the lady didn't have time to complete her route and they have to put something as the reason for not delivering the package. Post Master said they were short handed. I told her well try using the truth as a reason and maybe if they see they can't deliver because they are short handed they just might hire more people.

    Same story here. Short handed. I feel we all are short hand who work to deliver a service for the general public. I literally watched them drive past my cul da sac the other night but, stopped at house on corner to deliver before speeding off. At least stop delivering packages and only focus on mail. Try to be good at something vs. good at nothing.

    Edit: Thought I might better take out an original sentence I placed in above message. I don’t want to get the hammer. :rofl:

    I don't understand, why lie and say the customer requested it, that just made me mad. I guess I should not have talked to the Post Master the way I did. I told them every time they put a lie as the reason that I will return and speak with their supervisor. So far I get my packages now.

    I told them I paid for 2 day delivery if they couldn't do it I want a refund lol

    USPS sucks, just got switched to insulin (type2 diabetus) and had my first set of Lantus pens sent to me (free samples!) Cash price $508. They're obviously temperature sensitive and got "lost".

    They will blame the virus too. My mom shipped us stuff, suppose to be 4 days. 2 after the 4 days it showed up. It take over 2 months for a customer’s payment to be returned to him, because they could not deliver it. He lives 1 mile from the office. I have heard Pelham post office is one of the worse. I can say that my Saturday mail person is great. She does her job with a smile a always says hello to me when I’m out front.

    I hope you get you meds.

    It’s weird because I see a lot of folks complaining about shipping. I’ve personally not experienced one single delay or issue with the mail/package delivery system since covid. Only issues I’ve experienced a delay on was well stated on the website I’ve ordered from. Granted, I don’t order nor rely on anything delivered via courier services as some do.

    Overall I’ll be glad when/if our world gets back to what we thought as normal.

    So I’ve got the rear diff almost all the way out. It’s not on the axles but it won’t come out any further. It’s right on the edge. Tried rotating and pulling but nothing. It wants to pull the pumpkin back in when I turn the flange. Any ideas? @JBTacoma

    EDIT: had to wiggle the axles a little.

    Here’s something you guys may or may not have ever dealt with. I ordered a bumper cover for a 2015 Nissan Altima recently. 3/4 days later got an email with tracking info and other info related to the purchase. 2/3 days later got an email confirmation from ups that the package delivered. Now..... I’ve been off work for few weeks from surgery so I was home all day long. Package was never delivered.

    That day I picked up the phone to contact ups first since they delivered figured maybe was a shipping error. Ups went through their process and come to find out the package was not shipped to me. It was shipped to another person at another address. The product weighed 2.2 pounds so I know it wasn’t a bumper so it wasn’t even my bumper shipped. Due to legal reasons obviously ups could not disclose who it went to or where but said the package definitely was not shipped to me and was not an error by ups, which I agree.

    Same day I contact the seller. No response few days later. Went to the website and the site allows outside sales like Amazon does. So this seller was using a website called dedorsday.com to market and sell their product. Anyway the email for support on decorsday.com is not a valid email. The phone number on the website is not reachable and seems to be a cell phone number as when I call I get the message ‘users mailbox is full’.

    That same day I decided to open a PayPal dispute as something doesn’t seem right. PayPal ends up denying my claim because they said the package was delivered. So now I’m unsure what to do other than contact PayPal again which I am in the process of but takes forever due to not being able to contact anyone over the phone.

    In the meantime I’ve ordered another bumper from a well known site. This is the first time I’ve ever ordered something from a site I didn’t know so lesson learned either way.

    If it wasn't delivered to your address that is what you should tell pay pal. Your order invoice should have what address it should have been delivered to. If it was delivered to another you should be able to show pay pal that. That should be the shippers fault.

    The shipper said the shipment was sent to a different address and a different purpose as that was what the seller sent. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam so just trying to see if I can get my money back. Basically the seller took my money, shipped an item to Joe Schmoe at 123 Alabama instead of shipping my product to Brandon in haleyville. The shipping label created by the seller was not addressed to me nor my home address nor was the product the appropriate weight. No front plastic bumper cover, despite being 100% plastic, weighs 2.2 pounds.

    Either way it’s not the end of the world. I just hope this site isn’t scamming by many many more folks.

    So help me with gears and front locker. If I buy the ECGS 5.28 pre installed housings with new bearings and a locker it’s something like $3800. There has got to be a cheaper way.

    If you don’t replace bearings you save like $500. I think mine total was like $3,300

    You should be able to do it for $2445 plus shipping and they can send you a shipping tag at their cost.
