So I bought some stuff off Woot the other day which I have been eagerly awaiting. The package left Irving TX on the 6th, got to Sacramento on the 10th, South San Francisco on the 11th, BACK to Sacramento on the 12th, and is currently on the way to God-Knows-Where. I live in San Francisco BTW.

It's kinda normal for packages to bounce around until their delivery date, is it late yet?

It was supposed to be delivered on the 12th, I dont really mind that its late but its kind of annoying watching it go around in circles.

sure has been a lot of fedex/ups post on ATOT in the last week. I've used fedex/ups for years, no problems other than a few delayed deliveries.

FedEx sucks, I ordered a amp that shouldve arrived no later than two days but it has been a week already. Its as if because I paid for lowest shipping, even if it can arrive earlier FedEx holds the package until the specified delivery date versus UPS where I get 1-2 day ship from Michigan to New York City.

All of them do that, but that's kinda where I was going. I guess it's easier to store the package "in trasit".

I can see why they hold packages, otherwise nobody would pay 2-3 day shipping when they know ground will get there in the same time.
