Thanks for the encouragement!
For n...Hey everyone! Thanks for the encouragement!<br /><br />For now I'm just going to be driving to the next town over to drop packages off. I'll figure out what to do next when I come back again.<br /><br /><br />I'll be in Virginia until at least late January - so after this last batch of orders go out I won't have to worry about it till then. Maybe by then the delivery lady will have filed with the local Post Master and something will have been straightened out by then. <br /><br />As for the 2011 comment- that's how confused I am lately ...lol. I thought next year was 2011. Or maybe was hoping... who knows!<br /><br />@madbird - there is no place for me to leave them... I'm going to have to take pics... but basically, we don't have a mail box = we have a postal collection center that looks like a post office, but is really just a big collection of PO boxes... the box is about 4x5x10.. not big enough for even a single package. those all go in big package boxes so the only option is to schedule the pick ups. especially since its 2 different carriers running this route. <br /><br />Anyway... here's to hoping. It should be ok from here out... I just need to take the packages physically to the post office this week.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459531843513964676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019901453065101419.post-69776872083773718522009-12-14T00:14:35.749-05:002009-12-14T00:14:35.749-05:002011???

I supposed if you're shipping 20+ at a time it would be a problem, but my guy just told me to leave whatever needs to go out right in my box. I ship about 5-6 a day, and he always takes them. He even offered to come into our breezeway if I had big packages, just leave him a note in our box. He's a really nice guy though, and I always give him a gift at xmas ;) <br />I'm sorry this is happening to you - totally sucks. But, any other carrier is ultimately more expensive for ordinary packages. Even with the FedEx/Etsy hookup. But, I rarely ship packages over a pound of two.madbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00898696211217196628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019901453065101419.post-46578280127024478602009-12-13T20:50:21.308-05:002009-12-13T20:50:21.308-05:00OMG!

BTW, UPS is VERY expensive compared to USPS.

My mail carrier at my old house would just pick up anything I left out, amd told me not to even bother with scheduling a pick up, because half the time they wouldn't give it to him, either. Now, in my new area, there is not a regular carrier, and the three things I have scheduled for pick up have all ended up being brought to the post office that night by me. <br /><br />BTW: for heavy stuff, UPS is usually competitive, if not less. For lighter stuff, I have not found it to be better priced. Maybe it has changed, I have not been shipping much recently.AngelTree Gemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17341140368838456932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019901453065101419.post-33043089171829898822009-12-13T08:41:35.810-05:002009-12-13T08:41:35.810-05:00Yikes!

For almost ALL of my orders boing to California for the months of August-November, they downright REFUSED to deliver them! I missed out on orders that had been shipped Priority, and were returned to me OVER A MONTH LATER!<br /><br />Eff the USPS, and eff the horse they rode in on, IMHO. People will pay the little extra for UPS, trust me.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676934582324381407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4019901453065101419.post-40495348798925901052009-12-12T21:55:57.855-05:002009-12-12T21:55:57.855-05:00Extremely annoying!
