<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 724697, member: 13650"]Paddy, this is a commonly used shipping method by businesses these days to save money on shipping. They'll have an account with UPS or FedEx and it gets sent out originally with one of them. Then, at whatever point is the most convenient for the carrier, they dump the package off at a USPS facility and USPS delivers it the rest of the way. Most of the time though, they will drop selected packages off at the post office in your home town. So they don't have to make the extra deliveries all over town. It saves them a little in costs I suppose. </p><p><br /></p><p> But I've never seen them do it this way. Mine was shipped to Indianapolis. From there it went down to Earth City, MO (never heard of it or had anything routed through there before). There, it was switched over to USPS. My ship date was the 23rd and I'm not scheduled to receive mine until the 31st. Delivery date has been pushed back twice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
