The truth is that many people have had minor to severe problems with many shippers. At one time the PO was the butt of many jokes, but it seems they've pretty much gotten their act together, at least with parcel shipments. I like using the PO because the items are delivered to my PO Box, I don't have to be around to pick it up, it doesn't sit outside waiting to be stolen, and everyone at my post office knows me, which allows for fast, friendly service both for pick ups and for sending packages. Still, sometimes a letter or a flat will take two weeks to arrive from across town. My all time record was 11 months for a letter to travel 15 miles - and that happened TWICE! <LOL>
UPS - at least on my route - has been great as well. Sometimes - rarely - a shipper will send an item UPS with my PO Box address on it. I guess UPS "knows" me by now, and they just change the shipping label and the package is delivered to my door. However, I think Godfrey is correct in that I'm a little cranky because I want this camera NOW. I couldn't have used it anyway as the place I bought the SD card from, who, on their web site says: "We guarantee same-day shipping before 6:00PM CST." has just today put the card into their shipping pipeline. I ordered it several days ago, on Sept 29 @ 7:00am. That's The Flash Memory Store for those who care. Well, at least I've got a PDF version of the DS manual, thanks to Godfrey.

But I have to blame the sellers, I picked them because the said they shipped via USPS, then the shipped it via Fed Ex Ground (The absolute worse shipping service in the world) the other day after 8 days working its way across the country it was marked as returned to shipper. What kind of idiot would try to ship something to a PO Box address via Fed Ex Ground????? Oh the seller does not answer email either. > > So, anyway, I figure I understand how you feel.
