Within a few days it was in Jacksonville, FL (only about 1.5 hrs from me). Then it was sent to Puerto Rico. Now, it's back in Jacksonville, FL. I still have not received it.

We have had some long delivery times, lost, misplaced and stolen packages in the last few months. When you have incompetent and unconcerned individuals working you can expect such things. UPS, Fed Ex an USPS all have dropped the ball. They sure want their $$ but can't and won't guarantee results. Heaven forbid you try to file a claim to get recovery of $$ loss. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

The postage was bought through ebay but I think you can get the same rates through pirate ship. Poor people have poor ways.

We sent it priority and should have been there in 5 days. that was the end of November. It did not get there until MAY!!! When we went to the Post Office and wanted to collect our money because it was insured they laughed at us and when it finally arrived months later even refused to give us the money back for the expedited delivery claiming that " IT GOT THERE DIDN'T IT!!! That was from the Post master at Charleston WV!!! God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Get it right or get out of the business! what I was saying is how I think it happens , how I think they could make it better but that they likely choose not to make it better about all you can do is ship with someone else , but options are limited and prices are higher.
