Shipping Issues
When it comes to plant shipments, I hate paying more for the shipping than the plant is worth. Thus, I normally pay only for Priority Mail, which is also my normal choice when shipping.
Up till now, I have not had significant issues with USPS Priority Mail. However, I right now I have 3 shipments lost in USPS incompetence. The most extreme case being:
May 4: Tracking number issued and package accepted in Sacramento, CA
May 6: Processed through Kearny, NJ
May 6: Shipped from Kearny
May 6: Received back at Kearny
May 7: Shipped from Kearny
May 7: Received at Linden, NJ
May 7: Received at Millburn, NJ
May 7: Returned from Millburn
May 8: Received at Kearny
May 8: Out for delivery in Maplewood (but not delivered at correct address)
May 8: Received at Kearny
May 9: Shipped from Kearny
I guess FEDEX is our only reliable option in the future.
