Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Be patient. That has happened to me, and the next day the item arrives at my door. Basically, their tracking system is totally screwed up because they don't know how to use it.

My missing Boards of Canada LP, marked as "delivered" 13 days ago, never arrived. Amazon overnighted a new one so I've been made whole but my faith in the USPS is shaken.

Filing a claim may have delayed it even more. In most cases the sender needs to file a claim (if the package was insured in the first place), not the recipient.

Today I hung out at the local fixed shop catching up with the guy who owns it and in came a guy on a presto trying to sell a mildly cosmetically beat up nitto jag that was too long for him. Owner tells him his usual I can't make money from selling used parts speech and I jokingly say I'll give you $5 for it and it was a done deal. $5 for a jag, not bad.

Maybe they should have spent less money sponsoring the US Postal Team and LA, and more on doing their actual jobs.

Damnit, I just got an email update from Universal Cycles that part of my order is shipping via USPS. Normally, they use UPS ground.

i got the small one that's super cheap but it's a much needed replacement for my ancient(2003) 17" LCD ultrasharp. the color rendition is immediately apparent and i have them set up side by side but the old one is so yellow and awful i might not be able to stand it. and the real estate on the new 23" is more than adequate for everything i do so...

It would have been nice if the person helping would have mentioned that. (the part about it probably delaying everything) She did say that if it is completely lost I would have to contact the sender to file a claim. Idk if what I did was actually filing a claim but she did give me a case number to give to the sender. She said if I dont get my package by tomorrow or an answer its probably lost or delivered to the wrong person.
