    I get a lot of packages delivered by the post office through FedX. Pisses me off cause it takes longer to be delivered then if they just shipped through the post office! My blades are being shipped via FedX/PO...been traveling since September 28th and not scheduled for delivery until the 7th.

    I had a package that came that way one time. I went to post office and picked it up once I found out where it was.

    Wow that is definitely 'snail mail'!! Maybe the vendor didn't know that it would be passed off to the PO and just expected FE to deliver?

    HF does not allow po as main addy, you have to put the main addy and PO. I have a PO which I receive mail

    So did you give them your home address or a PO Box?
    I know UPS will not ship to PO Boxes, not sure about Fed Ex.

    I had a bad shipping experience, too. I ordered ink cartridges for my printer from Epson (the manufacturer). It saved me from driving for an hour getting to and from the store and what's better than having it delivered to my door? It was free shipping and the ink was cheaper than in the store. I think the carrier was UPS. Anyway, there's some new kind of shipping deal they have where UPS carries the package until they get to your local area then it goes to your post office and your mailman delivers it. When the pkg. didn't come and didn't come, I started tracing it and found out that after being trucked from one UPS place to another, it got stuck at a UPS place in Mississippi for 7 days - it just sat there! Epson shipped it the same day they got my order (via the internet) and it took 15 days before I received it! I received no satisfaction from UPS and the post office couldn't do anything. Epson promised to send me a free cartridge for my "inconvenience" which they never did. If they had told me free delivery would take 2 weeks, I wouldn't have had a problem. But I've ordered from Epson before and always had delivery within 3-4 days. This was absolutely ridiculous! Next time I need ink, I think I will just take the hour, drive to the store and pay more for it. At least I'll get it a whole lot sooner!
