Since I have no dust collection except for a shop vac to suck up everything when I’m finished, I bought this guy to keep the fine particles out of the air. Next thing to buy is the actual dust collection system. I’m pretty excited, just got delivered a few hours ago.

I'm surprised anybody is getting anything through the mail. We've been the victims of having packages routed through the wrong USPS hubs.

First, the vanilla beans I ordered sat in Florida for two weeks. Once they got past the Florida State line, I had them the next day.

A garage door opener part sat in Philly for 10 days, finally left there and has been sitting in St. Louis for four days now. Did I mention that it is a garage door opener part and it's December?

Tools that were ordered for my Christmas gift have been sitting in Ohio for 12 days and counting.

Our usual mail lady hasn't been seen for a week (we think part timers are filling in) and every day this past week we are getting our mail and that from one or more neighbors every day.

The only bright spot is our UPS driver has been delivering smartpost packages to us instead of dropping them at the post office.

Yeah this was supposed to be delivered Tuesday lol. I ordered a pair of pen jaws for my one way talon and I’m pretty sure they are lost. It’s been a disaster. I ordered my wife a laptop for Xmas. I had my friend pick it up because I wanted to make sure it arrived all in one piece. I read an article saying 6 million packages are being left behind at major retailers daily. They can’t handle the overload.

We’ve been lucky so far but most of our stuff has come via UPS.

This air purifier came through ups. Delivered in one of the workers cars lol. They must be so backed up since we got over a foot of snow Wednesday into Thursday. The pen jaws are usps. USPS is struggling pretty bad from what I’ve heard.
 
Our driveway is long, curvy and on a hill. The UPS guy walked a relatively heavy package up the hill in the middle of this week’s snow storm. The USPS doesn’t drive up in the middle of the summer, leaves stuff in the open by the mailbox. Stuffed one package in my mailbox couldn’t get out.
 
Been waiting on some knife kits from rockler since the beginning of December. For some reason those idiots thought it was a good idea to ship through ups who would then ship through USPS. Sat in Lubbock (where I live) for a few days and now is sitting in Minnesota. I’m just a little erked because I was making my brother, dad and myself a pocket knife for Christmas and now that ain’t going to happen. Yeah we are supposed to trust them with votes 🤣🤣🤣
 
We waited 4 months for a replacement oven! Still waiting for my new 6.5 Creedmoor, it's been almost 9 months arrrgh
