I'm whining about shipping

I'm sorry for your dissatisfaction. The order I'm looking at was shipped 7/5 and delivered 7/9. The 7th and 8th were weekend days . . .

So, he got it in just 2 business days. . I don't see any problem here at all.

I haven't seen your posts for some months now, Tom.

But FedEx has the package, not USPS. Even standard FedEx shipping should get my packages here faster. Oh, by the way, I'm not blaming B&H.

You can't be certain of that! Not that it is FedEx, but I'm currently waiting for something ordered last Friday and shipped by UPS (San Diego). Accordingly to the tracking, it has sat in a USPS facility since Tuesday July 10th. Delivery was quoted to be on Monday July 16th. FedEx does exactly the same thing...space on a plane it moves but may sit almost at its destination.

The thing about USPS vs any other professional carrier is, if i miss Fed Ex, or UPS, they will track me down. USPS was delivering a lens (per shippers choice) and came by Monday the 2nd. Left the note on the door for signature release and 1st notice. I signed it, put it back on the door and then the postal guy decided to take the 3rd off and drop zero mail, or my package. Next day is the 4th, which I wanted my new 24-105 lens for the fireworks. So I had to go and pick it up on Thursday, "meh our bad". USPS won't come and find you, others will. Sometimes paying a little more is worth it.
