one of the two packages is now stuck at the same place for a while and the second got put on a van but i think the package shop had break time when they tried to deliver it. They are closed midday for 2 hours.
Im contemplating if i should try to get it today now after work or if i get it when the website says its there.
Maybe the system is even faulty and my first package is already waiting for me.

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Edit: it arrived at the pickup so im not mildly infuriated anymore :D

To be fair, back then.

  • Cut out a coupon
  • Mail a handwritten form with a check
  • Post office takes a week to deliver.
  • A person has to sort the received order
  • A person has to hand process the order
  • They wait for the check to clear
  • A person has to package the order
  • Post office takes a week or so to deliver

It really wasn't 6-8 weeks for a package to travel to its destination. The bulk of that was inefficient human order processing.
