Why Do Good Retailers Go To Surepost???

[BROBS]

it seems mine might be out for delivery with UPS with another surepost item (lawnmower blade).
didn't get it handed off in time?

My package that has said it’s in Carrollton, TX for a week arrived today. I’m smoking some of it now. Tracking still says it’s in Carrolltonawaiting USPS to accept the package. ??
And yes, I refreshed the tracking page every time I checked it.
I was starting to lose faith it would ever show up.

So we were talking about whether or not pros read threads, right?
Umm, well, think they’re all over this?

Not sure what you mean.

I think you’re being obtuse.
In case you’re genuinely mystified, this thread started with a legitimate question: why did SP choose a sucky delivery system.
Sykes answered that question early on. Regardless, the blah blah continues onward a few pages, long after the question had been concluded.
That’s not to say that there hasn’t been what forum members consider legitimate discussion, I just thought I’d cross threads to give an example of why pros might not hover on our every word.

Well yeah and it wouldn’t be polite to keep arguing on about it like we are. If someone asked about something work related I’d pop in answer and be gone. No point in arguing over the Internet.

and I simply was curious why retailers switch to it.. and it answered that question.

but to me the question remains if the monetary savings are worth it. They may very well be to the business, even if a few customers get panties bunched.

that was all.. intended to be a friendly discussion and also a resounding “surepost itself sucks”.

I think you’re being obtuse.

If you look at your last question in the post which I was referencing, your question could be taken two different ways, both equally probable given the context of the thread:

1)

Umm, well, think they’re all over this?

In other words, a sarcastic question meaning “do you think they’re staying abreast?”

2)

Umm, well, think they’re all over this?

In other words, “do you think they’re done with reading any more posts in this thread?”

In any case, the frustration with a demonstrably crappy delivery service was not, in my opinion, and certainly not in my posts, aimed at Smokingpipes in any way. I think they are an exemplary business, and I said so in the other thread. My suggestion was that if Surepost is the delivery method, it would be nice if it were stated as such in the shipping options, so that folks who have had bad experiences with it have the foresight to avoid it.

And no one gets to call me obtuse except my wife. ?

Dude. Greg Pease is ducking you as we speak.
