[private] US Postal system overloaded (order)

1999-12-16 by Elhardt@xxx.xxx

synth1@...,

>>Therefore, I am sending ALL PENDING ORDERS over $250 FED-EX 2nd day and 
will charge shipping accordingly (about $26-40 US, $110 global). Sorry, but I 
if you do not wish this, then I will delay shipment until Jan 5th. Please 
email if you want this.<<

I have no idea of the status of my order so I don't exactly know how to 
answer this.  I assumed mine might not ship until Jan anyway, because you 
were waiting for some panels.  I won't have time before the end of the year 
for anymore module building, so I might as well just have them sent after Jan 
5th.

However, if you have my order boxed and really don't want it sitting around 
until that time, I could take it Fed-ex, but I would need to know exactly 
what day I would get it, so I can be sure to be home all day.

BTW, I'm not sure how the Post Office knows that they actually lost your 
packages.  I get monthly paychecks from California, and while they usually 
only take 3 days, every once in a while, one may take about two weeks.  The 
Post Office seems to be able to hold things in a state of limbo for long 
periods of time.
