I love ordering things on ebay that have priority shipping, then they dont ship the item for like a week...

Great job OP, you are the new standard

I've done this.Hell I still have an unopened box with a booklet in it from coming on two years ago now.
MuffPunch
How can this be a thing? I must open packages immediately - it's like Christmas every time I get a delivery!
geiokami
Exactly! It's like what overly large sex toy did I drunkenly order a week ago?
ZBEARJEW
Did this for Halloween for items I didn't end up wearing. I consoled my account balance by whispering "better safe than sorry" to myself.

Whereas I ordered a package from Amazon with 2 day shipping then received it two days late because the post office opened & inspected it.

Any time I choose to pay for 2 day delivery vs the free 3-5 day, it takes longer than just choosing the free delivery. At musicians friend
IWantToMakeAThemeAccountLikePorridgeOrCeraOrTinyOctopus
Yeah musicians friend is the best. And the worst. Great selection, horrible service.
I start opening a package before I even get inside...

I bought an AK47 about two weeks ago and still haven't gone to the range :/

I accidentally ordered Large Rifle primers from Brownells They charged an extra $28 for shipping them. Forgot about the Fulminate of Mercury

But you COULD have opened it any time you wanted, that's true luxury.
Applepotamus
opulence, i haz it
WheezingAppleWannaBe
you one of em 'optimistic' types aint ya? ......real rare to see one of dem out these ways.
Just FYI if I wasn't clear I paid for early shipping, RECEIVED the item, and then didn't open it until days later.
ruthbaderginsburg
So you got the package early due to efficiency of the USPS without paying extra, but never opened it? OP you're crazy.
SpecimenSpiff
Wait, slow down. Did you pay for EARLY shipping, received YOUR item, and then didn't open IT until days later? Please clarify.
Cwalkdawg
Thank you for clarifying that...we weren't sure before.
Shamorza
You mean you paid extra to have items shipped to you a day early but didn't open the box for a few days, like the text in OC says, right?
glitchead
No no, you're not getting it. He paid extra to have items shipped to him a day early but didn't open the box for a few days.
Greatscott89
How is this not clear already?
BeepBoopBlorpSchlorp
Well you see the packaged arrived, and he got it, but he just didn't open the package. Does that clear it up?
HereInDuckburg
But did he pay extra to have it shipped early or not?
OneHandedClapper
He did indeed pay extra, but didn't open the package until a few days later
AndyColton
We got it, Jonesie

I've ordered next day shipping and the item ships 4 days later. The company says the shipping is next day but the handling takes a few days
Brinho
Never understood that
Tyrannotron
Amazon did that to me so many times without notifying me until after I ordered that I cancelled Prime.
imgurfacepalm
Ive ordered probably over 200+ items on Amazon with Prime and never had this happen (except where it said it would take extra on the page)
Well, lucky you then.
bingopajamas
I've had them email me about a delay
ProjectKurtz
I had a delay once and they reimbursed me for shipping.
CityofOrphans
As a mailman, that actually happens super often...Deliver a package into the mailbox and it's there the whole week.
HeckinDinyella
My husband is a mailman too! I love the stories he tells. Who knew mail could be so amusing?!
Katalliaan
What do you do when the mailbox is too small for the package? Please tell me you don't just wedge it in the opening.
Well, if the mailbox is too small for the package then I wouldn't be able to wedge it in in the first place, but usually we'll either 1
set it on your front porch (or if you have a sign up that specifies where to put them, we put them there), or we leave a notice slip for 2
you to come pick the package up from the post office. Usually those are used when the weather is bad or the neighborhood looks shady.
RomaFrozenPizzas
How many dogs have you needed to run from?
Plenty. Once a girl was walking her big golden retriever and it slipped its collar and cornered me on a porch...Good times, good times.
MyLittleBorg
Do you ever check the mail thats left in the mailbox?
If I can see an uncancelled stamp or if there's writing on the mail or if the flag on the box is up, yes.
huh..mine doesn't. Once she just threw everything on the ground, including my new mail.
This doesn't excuse her doing that, but was your mailbox full? Also, did you report that to your post office?
It had 3 letters in there. I had written that the people on the mail didn't live there. Few days later I find everything on the ground.

Personal question . . . you know - for a friend: Do you know any fee mail men?
theNilbogTroll
Most people just call them transsexual
Well that would be a female man - which is a bit different.
I mean...I don't exactly know what you mean, but I'll take a stab...Are you looking for like stripper mailmen?
Well, *I* am not looking - you know, my *friend* is . . . and only if they do it . . . you know - for a *fee*.
HulkHoganWeComingForYouNiiiigaaaaa
Hahaha, well, unfortunately for your friend I don't think you'll find any legitimate mailmen who are willing to do that, or if there are 1
I wouldn't know who they were. Sorry!
