When are they going to invent a way to teleport Items you buy on the internet instead of having them delivered?

Been waiting almost 3 hours for a package since it has said it was out for delivery.  maybe make robots to do the job quicker.  I want my stuff now!  not whenever they get around to it.. also I already saw one post office truck drive by that was like 40 mins ago... What the fuck are they doing   /rant

whenever i have something coming in the mail im always rushing home to see if its there, even the day after i order when its foolish to think it could be there already.

and i think there are alot of NS kids who are the same way, given the amount of threads on SAGA/Jiberish shipping times

As much as I like to buy local, there is a lot of photography stuff that I can only find online, and I hate waiting for it. The worst is when I pay for rush shipping and then it still somehow takes 5 days to come. I think the main reason I hate it so much is that I have ordered stuff and had it come just one day too late, when it should've come 3 days early

I thought this thread was going to be about the new amazon delivery lockers at 7-11.

word.. I used to sell eCigarettes quite a bit and the shitty thing is that there was times I made a big buy and they kept my shit in customs for like a month to a month and a half.. everything that's in it is legal.  There has only been one time they kept it in customs for like a month and a bit and then sent it back I was sooo pissed.  Had them send the same shit again and, no problems going through customs. it's almost seems like some people in customs have their heads so far up their ass they can see their own god damn tonsils.

This, even if it doesn't get there when you think it does it gives you something to look forward to. And finally getting it is such a great feeling. However, I understand if they're over the amount of days that it said it would take to ship, that sucks.

I've been waiting for a few weeks for my Level 1 hoodie. Then checked on Tuesday, sent it to the wrong apartment number. It's probably been sent back to Level 1 now....

rough..


I hate waiting but at the same time it's something to look forward too. The worst is what is happening right now, I am on the vinyard and my new hoodie from ehoto arrived at my house and it's sitting in my room. Just waiting there, taunting me.. ahhhhhh.

The only thing I don't like is waiting for preorder stuff that I won't get for like... 2 months...cough *saga* cough cough

I could see this as a valid point but, if I miss out on it being delivered its usually the next day I have to pick it up... which is that one more day.  It sucks cause it seems like that one day extra seems to take forever.  Not to mention that I now have to go out of my way to go down to the post office to pick up my package.  which one time it was sent to the shittiest post office possible way out of my way.

Normally packages come to my house at around 7 pm, but today my package came at like 1:30, so I wasn't expecting it. It put me in such a good mood.

I like waiting for stuff in the mail. Looking forward to things like that is fun and keeps me humble - instant gratification is not always good.

Don't worry man, in 20 years 3D printing will be commercially available to the average consumer and you'll be able to download and print a pair of basketball shorts off iTunes

Nope! It's weird, I chose the 3 to 5 day shipping and it came super fast. I did buy it from Amazon though.

When I'm at home I like waiting for and expecting them. But at my apartment it sucks because if you aren't there it goes to the office and my office staff isn't very good and they leave way too early all the time.

not usps, entirely customs that decides if youre paying extra for your package and if it gets held up at the border

Ups is the only service i like. Fedex is always a business day or 3 late, even when i dont need to sign for it, and usps takes forever. Im in ohio, a package coming from NH, priority mail, and it took 11 business days for usps

My jiberish got to my house much faster than expected. Waking up and finding a package at your door is the best feeling ever, especially when you dont expect it

yah I finally got mine too.  its funny cause people in canada will understand where I'm coming from when I say this.  Canada Post went on strike to get a raise but, I don't see a reason why they should have gotten one in the first place.  its a business and how long it took from it leaving the office to arriving in my hands was way longer than usual, also the lady that delivered my package was using paper sign slips.  like what the fuck!? I asked "No computer today?" and she replied "I only use paper."  I was close to being like well paper seems to be less efficient not to mention the tree's you are wasting because you are too ignorant to use a computer that makes your job easier for you. 

Maybe I'm just cranky cause I haven't gotten to sleep yet cause I was expecting my package to be delivered a lot earlier than it was.  I was expecting 11 at the latest and now it's 2pm...
