some sorting centers are letting packages "cool" for 3 or more days before handling them and sending them on.
in addition I am seeing many more "missent" results in tracking information which adds days to delivery time.
it appears that some regions (Midwest) are having problems staffing sorting facilities and the resulting short hand crews are not able to keep up.
maybe, there are more packages as people buy more stuff online that has to be shipped?
some guy in the 60's said "the times, they are a changin"!
nothing can ever again be expected to be as it was 6 months ago.
welcome to the new society and devolving values.

I found my carsš When I packed my cars of course I was in a hurry cuz I was under the gun to get them to the post office before they closed. I had 3 of my shipping containerās and I can fit 3 cars per container. Was sending 6 cars so 2 was loaded and 1 empty. So I sent 1 loaded and 1 empty containerš So my inlines and one 3 gear stayed home. My inlines was the only cars that ran ok. So Iām going to try it again and take a chance of mailing them today and maybe make it there by Friday ? If they donāt get there in time at least I triedš šRickš The ole cranial flatulation. Man, I just don's stand a chance of being top procrastinator!  |

I got my cars mailed off this morning supposed to be there Friday ? See if they do ? Dave you might be on to something about Christine ?I might have the West Coast versionš I recently bought two die cast Christineās. The Evil one and the Good One. I done and went and stripped the paint off the Evil One. Plus I stripper all her chrome tooš¬ I only did it to make a mold and cast that body. I think it might have pissed her off ? It hasnāt been the same around here since. Maybe if I stripped the Good One she might of been more forgiving ? So Iām pretty sure she's the reason my cars got boxed up all wrong. It couldnāt have been meš And Bill you know now that you donāt have a chance of out procrastinating the Masterš

I had a long talk with Christine before I sent her off to PA. No speeding in the pits or return road. No drifting. No dripping fluid on the track. No changing lanes. No excesive braking(its not a bracket race). Keep on the straight and narrow. She seemed pretty excited when she left. I thing she thought I said Transylvania instead of Pennsylvania.

good day racers and race fans.
general plan of action.
I will be entering the car descriptions in the Track Mate data base.
then I shall do some qualifying runs.
still waiting for cars from Mazda, gibb061 and Hairy Canary.
so, commencing racing might be delayed a bit.
I'll be getting some pics of the field and prizes up soon too.
as far as "procrastinator" props go, that will be judged on postmark, the most recent (not counting Rick's second package) being the winner.
now ..... ON WITH THE SHOW!

Why would they send the package to Los Angles?

Why would they send the package to Los Angles? It is beyond me. According to the Royal Mail, they arrived in New York JFK on the 21st and two days later they were in Los Angeles  . Why send them to the other side of the country? |

Stupidity knows no bounds I guess! Depends on who is working there or programming the routing.
Some good some awful.
I have been around a long time now and in EVERY field, bar none, there are incompetents, then some average, some good and
a few greats.

Guys although I cannot argue with the negative comments about USPS, everybody is screwed up because of this damn virus BS. Typically the USPS does a pretty good job with the exception of a few local carriers. Lets not beat people up too bad. Clive I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your shipments yet again. I hear everyday about companies large and small that are short staffed because of this virus. With all the negative in the world I'm looking for a little positive. Speaking of positive....I will continue to think positive and hope that your cars show up in time. They had time time to travel to LA in two days. They've had time to make it back to PA now. Fingers crossed.
