Mail scenic delivery

FedEx with an account within USA is not a bad deal. Sometimes the larger stuff is actually cheaper with FedEx. Lots of stuff is USPS subcontracted between routes. I had a shipment sitting at the Shanghai airport for a month before it said enroute. When I got it 70 days later it was 3 25 cent facemasks when my order should have been a tabletop metal smelter! Guy said they sent the wrong item, Ill ship again and then he provided me with a fake tracking number that went to a fake website that said my package was on its way. 8 Days later (From China!) I track it to a "dock" in my hometown and its out for delivery....nothing....for 5 days. Emailed the guy back, WTF..Where is it> Uh, they lost it, do you want a 60% refund or credit to a fake sneaker website based in China? I want it all back..no, please understand that they lost it and Im out the price of the item...so YOU get your money back from them, I want mine. Done with him, Opened a paypal dispute (wait for it...) and 6 days later, I get a full refund from paypal. Damn, they finally came to bat for me. I just had a transistor sent to me from PA, was 4 days in transit in an envelope. packages are probably slow but letter mail seems to be fine.
