Sandy in Indy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I had a furnace part overnighted on Friday, so it should have arrived on Saturday. No part Saturday...no part Sunday... Notice I said FURNACE. It's been below zero here in that time. Package was coming less than 100 miles! (I wanted to drive down and pick it up, but dh said no as it could be overnighted.) It's a very good thing that we have two furnaces and the one that's out heats the upper floors. Otherwise, we'd have been in big trouble here. As it is, we're running space heaters in multiple locations. I'm sure my electric bill will be just dandy next month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I would be so angry, too! I hope it gets there today -- do you have a tracking number? Also, are you sure the post office is to blame? Someone at the parts place might have sent it parcel post (or even Priority) instead of overnight. Thank goodness you have other ways to heat the house! Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Is it coming from a big city or a tiny town? At my local post office, I can pay for overnight shipping, but it will take 2 days. (If I pay for 2-day, it will likely take 3.) We're in a tiny village where that's just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobela Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Our post office has a sign saying that Overnight packages are only guaranteed to arrive the next day if shipped before noon -from the post office across town. Otherwise expect the same delivery time as priority packages 2-3 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn.

Otherwise expect the same delivery time as priority packages 2-3 days. Yep, overnight is actually 2-3 days. I was going to pay to have something overnighted once, until they told me it would take that long. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Wow. I hope they owe you a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Interesting. I'm in a city, but I discovered that even if I sent something priority mail, it still took five or six days to be delivered to another region of the country. Now, if it's really important to me that it get there quickly, I use UPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy in Indy Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Pkg finally arrived this am. Written on the front...entered 1-21 delivery next day by noon. Tracking website also clearly says it was to be delivered by noon on Jan 22. Anyway...I'm glad it's here, but I will be sitting on the seller until I get a refund for the $25 I spent to have it overnighted! Here's hoping dh can install the part without issue and the furnace then works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Glad to hear you got it -- I hope it works! :) Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
