That is sad Larry.. I have been there. The problem is your local post office is just too efficient. You need to get them to lag some shipments to keep things exciting. Maybe you need to move to Livermore, CA. About a year ago I decided to get a post office box down at the local PO in order to have a more secure place for chip shipments and ebay payments to arrive.. maybe even shave a day off the delivery time. This was after the local postman delivered a few of my packages to neighbors blocks away on different streets. Things went pretty well for a while.. with maybe the odd slow delivery. But the last month or so I never know when something might arrive. I am expecting 10 packages of chips from trades, ebay auctions, shotguns, direct website purchases and chips being dropshipped from website purchases. It is nice getting something in the mail every day. But each day I would go down to the Post Office.. and the box would be empty.. very sad. I think that is even worse than not having anything coming at all. Finally got about 6 packages yesterday. A happy day.. they included chips from the "Stay at Home Shotgun" postmarked June 15 and a package of chips from a website purchase that was shipped a week after one from the same seller that I am still waiting on. Alas, the box was empty again today. Pretty sure the problem is at my local post office since these chips are coming from all over the country. You have to wonder about the post office sometimes. I think all the chips will eventually get here, but I would hate to place a bet on exactly when. A buddy of mine told me he thinks the local po has started a back room poker game and they needed to use my chips for a while.
On an even sadder note.. I wanted to be a good guy and do what I can to help ameliorate your situation, but I don't have a single chip you need.
