I ordered a tractor part from a guy in Texas that I have dealt with before on 8-21 and he mailed it the same day. I waited for it for over a week and finally texted him for a tracking number since I didn't have it yet. He sent me the number and I checked online Monday, it said it was in Dallas, I'm in western Illinois. He called me and said I should check the history of the shipment, it had been everywhere and he would keep watching it to see that I got the part. I checked it Wednesday am and it said the package was in Taylor Ridge, Ill(20 miles away) at 5:10am and Illinois City ( where it was supposed to go) at 6:10am scheduled for deliver by 5:30 that day. It never came. I checked this morning and it said it left Illinois City headed for Taylor Texas. I went to the post office to see if they had a package for me and had to wait on a guy ahead of me that didn't get his package either. They didn't have anything, so I gave her the tracking number and she looked it up. It started out in Taylor Texas on 8-21. Then it went to Austin, Tx on 8-22, Des Moines, Ia on 8-23 and bounced back and forth between places in Des Moines until 8-29. St Louis, Mo on 8-31, Springfield, Mo on 9-1, Dallas Tx on 9-2 and then to Austin same day, Taylor Tx on 9-5 and then to Illinois City the same day to be delivered by 9 pm. It never came. She gave me a number for lost packages, so I called while I was there and they said it left Illinois City on 9-5 headed for final destination in Taylor Texas. I suppose now I'll have to pay shipping twice to get it shipped again from where it stared out from. I guess that government employees don't get paid enough to do there jobs right. So I'm setting here wait for it to get back where it started from and for him to resend it. Ya can't make this stuff up! Anymore the phrase Can you screw it up any worse is more of a challenge than an insult!
