That terrible, sinking feeling...

[Branzig]

That terrible sinking feeling in your heart, when you come home expecting to have a pipe waiting for you in the mail box, and it isn't there!!!

Why?!? Why do you have to lie to me USPS tracking information! It said delivery date 2/9/15, but it was just teasing me! How evil!

Now I have to wait another whole day! :(

Sounds like another day to me. I always expect something to be there, and nope let's wait a few days for delivery. Or it gets sent fedex and they wait until 8pm to drop it off. I swear I am the last stop on the FedEx drivers stop.

At least you will hopefully have a package tomorrow.

My last cigar order showed up at the post office friday morning, walked in at 3pm to get it and they were closed until today. I had to sit here all weekend knowing my order was 1 block away locked in the post office. I feel your pain my friend

If I am getting anything FedEx (Amazon excluded) I don't even bother looking at the ETA. They are always off by 1-2 days where I live for some reason. My house must be at the end of the FedEx driver's route too. They usually hit me around 7pm

Too be fair, USPS in my neck of the woods is usually spot on when it comes to ETA.

I picked up (another) Custom-bilt. This time a 1940s squat bulldog.

When it comes to vintage American pipes, I am becoming a total sucker haha.

Tracking estimates usually seem to be right on around where I live. Then again I do live about an hour away from DC, so that might factor into it.
