Q Talk

Ugh... the same thing happened to me!  I sent a gift to my son for his birthday who lives in Peroria, AZ.  it arrived at Peoria post office but never got delivered.  QVC refunded me.  Hate to hear you had the same problem.  I just sent him two more things.  Crossing my fingers he gets them.

I live in Georgia.  Once my package left PA and made it South as far as South or North Carolina, don't remember which one.  Then took a sling shot all the way to the Northwest, I think it was Oregon.  Then back to the East coast and made it's way back to PA and then headed out again to Ga and made it's way to me.  I mentioned this to my local post office employee but I don't think he believed me.

Last month I had a package from Amazon shipped USPS and it arrived in my local PO, then shipped out from there to somewhere else in the state (NC) and toured the state for 3 days before I finally got it.

Have to say I'm rather irritated by USPS.   At least I believe it because of USPS....Here is the travel of my QVC package...FYI...I live in Peoria AZ (suburb of Phoenix)

9-25  packaged in Fontana CA

9-26 departed Fontana, CA

9-27 arrived in Tolleson, AZ (very close to Phoenix)

9-27 arrived in Peoria, AZ (yeah)

still didn't get my package

and now today....

10-4 it arrives in Boca Raton, FL   now Florida isn't very close to Peoria AZ...and

I believe Florida has enough problems to deal with right now...getting over a terrible hurricane

Do I contact my local post office for them to contact Boca Raton, do I contact Boca Raton...But I am sure they have more than one post office..so I don't know which one...but I do have a tracking number, or do I wait and see.  Good thing it's a Christmas present.  Hopefully it will arrive before 12-25.  Hopefully!!!!

I worked in the post office parttime after retiring. The problem is that Q uses the lowest/cheapest metbhod of mailing orders. Many of these rely on 3rd parties to move packages from place to place. Those 3rd parties aren't going to make a special trip if it's not profitable so packages can end up in strange places. This is on Q, not USPS.

It has been my experience when this sort of thing happens, and it's happened to me quite a few times , you'll never get the package.  Very sticky fingers at the USPS.

I agree 100% @CalminHeart .  QVC chooses what method of shipping to send out their packages. It is not the USPS fault if the Q chooses the cheapest, longest path for delivery.   I have no problem with the post office in my area.  They are great people that do a fantastic job.  Blame QVC if you must blame anyone at all.
