USPS, what's new? UPS and FedX have things more important to deliver than a package of bloomers or rear flap long johns.

We've ALL known since early this year that online ordering and shipping was the only way to get what we want or need during this pandemic.

 

Is anyone really surprised that shipping is a problem during this time?

 

I find that hard to believe......


Not to mention all the OTHER threads on this very same topic in the forums.


@Pearlee   I do not read all the forums.  So if people know this , then they can pass it by. 


@BalletBabe  I usually at least glance around the likely suject-matter  forums to see if a similar thread is already there before I start one that is just going to duplicate others.


So wonderful when people have a lot of time on their hands.

Please ignore the 'resident board scolder', she thinks it's her job, so she does it to everyone on the forums, LOL!

This breathless thread title seems a tad alarmist to me.

 

I can understand being aware of shipping delays, which most of us are. But not beware. As in Beware of dangerous Dog etc.

 

I don't like thread titles that don't give a hint as to what they're about. It feels like a made you look, crying wolf situation. Especially saying 'BEWARE' in all capital letters implies that there's a serious danger I should click to find out about. And there was none.

 

Not the end of the world to do this. Not a horrible unforgivable offense. Just not my cup of tea. So thanks for the headsup but I already knew about it.

 

I've already ordered some novelty socks that will arrive to their recipient after Christmas. I am sure he will understand. It's not a normal Christmas this year. Lots of slack to be had.

@Porcelain Great post, although no doubt some will consider it "scolding," 😄

Thanks! The way I see it, they can scold about not scolding all they want. It's a free world.

It's amusing how they only scold selectively when many posters make the same point. 😄  

Even more amusing is/are the scolder(s) who use a different identity now than they once had. Sometimes these forums are very amusing.
