Why do they take so long to deliver things? The estimated time is almost never right :/ 2-3 days seems to REALLY mean 4-5.

I already had to wait almost 3 weeks for my packer to get shipped, I don't want to deal with USPS's lag too!

USPS has always been good for me. Things delivered on time. Where did you get the packer from?

They've been really good to me, and usually deliver really fast. Did you get a tracking number?

I've been trying to send something internationally and was stupid and didn't pay for the extra tracking number, so I only have the customs number which stops tracking once it gets to customs.... ah... the anticipation... is it in that country yet? Stupid me...

Edit: Also, 2-3 days you say, are you remembering to leave off Sunday and give it 24-48 hours after you order the item? Sometimes it takes a day or so for the company to actually mail something, so it's that time plus the 2-3 days minus Sunday.

USPS has always been pretty consistent for me.  It does depend on how it was sent from the manufacturer.

But it always does seem like forever when your really waiting for something.

Don't worry, it will get there.

It was shipped Monday, so no Sundays to account for :/
I emailed them and they said their shipment confirmation software wasn't working, and so I never received a tracking number. But they did tell me that it did ship on Monday.

Maybe I'm just unlucky- seems like everyone else does fine with USPS. I guess just for some reason things take longer getting to me :/
I've just been dying to get this XD I'm kinda being impatient XD
Plus it's frustrating when a guy comes and delivers a package of the approximate size of mine to our door and it's for my step-dad instead. 

I just really hope to get it before Sunday because I'm going on a snowboarding trip and want to have it then.

Doubt it's the usps causing the delay. Three weeks is an insanely long time (especially if you live in the Continental USA). I buy and sale a lot of items on ebay. Even with the cheapest shipping methods it rarely takes more than eight business days.
