Cheer Smitty's Pen Works

[duncsuss]

On Friday, at 6 minutes before midnight, I ordered and paid for the current "Trust Smitty" offering.

It was in the mail Saturday, delivered Monday.

Thanks! :biggrin:

I don't believe the USPS delivers mail on a Sunday in Massachusetts

 

[Cmiles1985]

They deliver to Massachusetts? :biggrin:

 

[duncsuss]

Shock ... it turns out the first Post Office in the country was in Boston, Massachusetts, established in 1639.

 

[Cmiles1985]

That's actually one of the few states on my bucket list.

On an OP related note, my Smitty's Surprise showed up yesterday. I can't wait to get out to the shop shortly, and see what's in there!!

 

[jsolie]

My package showed up on Monday as well. It's almost as if he really mailed them on Thursday or Friday...

 

[jsolie]

And, even better, the G. P. V. arrived today!

Ironic side note... USPS delivers Amazon Prime packages on Sunday.:biggrin:

Not too impressed, what is it, 150 miles? At most?

You might want to look at the mileage again. Wilmington Massachusetts is a bit farther than 150 miles from Milford DE and Murrieta CA is a lot farther than 150 miles and so is Arkansas Pass TX --- USPS did a good job delivering these packages

 

[Cmiles1985]

They did a fantastic job! Smitty is about 1710 miles from my house. So, I imagine that there are at least two major hubs that a package must go through before coming to my little rural ranchito outside of Aransas Pass.

 

[TurtleTom]

I'm way off, sorry. The legend led me astray, again. Wouldn't matter if it was 150 mi, that's still fast. I don't think Detroit could do it that fast though.

... Wilmington Massachusetts is a bit farther than 150 miles from Milford DE and Murrieta CA is a lot farther than 150 miles . . .

Just a tad... :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

I don't want to take this thread too far off topic, but we have one of those community type mailboxes with probably a dozen mailboxes. Whenever we get a new mail delivery person, or someone covering for our normal person, chances are high that mail will get in the wrong box. I had a package from Smitty go missing for a couple days. I'm glad that the guy who did get the package brought it over.

My mail gets delivered to a kiosk too, and even though our carrier is great occasionally I get someone elses mail and now and then someone gets mine. I have had UPS deliver to the right house number on the wrong street too.

Well you'd be wrong.....

Mine arrived just as fast. I get that you have an issue with Detroit but perhaps you should let it go.

That's a relief, I was worried my small backyard had suddenly extended hundreds of miles and I'd have to pay real estate taxes in all the states down the eastern seaboard.

 

[TurtleTom]

Wouldn't have to worry too much about taxes on that much, they sell land by the cup up there.

Yea and tax it by the square nanometer.
