Don't do business with 1stchoicememory.com or PCBOOST

[Early 2 Riz]

Both are one and the same company now days. And they don't deliver. I
ordered ram from them last Wednesday, and I even paid for 2nd Day shipping.
But is the RAM here? NO, it is not.... Do NOT do business with them.

Again I say... DON"T DO Business with 1stchoicememory or PCBOOST

OOPS, forgot to put OT: in the subject line. I apologize for this mishap.

Ignore this thread, as the fault lay with the post office. The package came
today, and it is clearly post marked June 7th. And you can see the Priority
mail stamp too. Why did it take 4 days? Priority mail is supposed to take 2
days, but no more than 3.

The USPS does not "guarantee" a 2 to 3 day delivery on Priority Mail.
Rather, they state in one place on their website that Priority Mail will
take an "average of 2 to 3 days", and in another place, they say that
Priority Mail "generally offers 2-day service to most domestic
destinations". I've been shipping packages for years for businesses. We've
found that depending on where you're located, and where the package is
heading, it can sometimes take 5, 6, or even 7 days. You can talk to your
local postmaster if you wish, but (s)/he will tell you the same thing.
There's no guarantee on transit time.

That bites. Thanks for the heads up.

I work for U.S.P.S., and I can tell you from my own observations, some
management personnel regard Priority Mail as less than a...uh...*priority*.

Just yesterday, I got into a heated argument with one of the lower-level
supervisors (delivery and collections) re: this very subject. I had
discovered about a half-dozen priority parcels destined for local street
addresses that had inadvertently been tossed into the hamper of parcels
destined for the box section. These parcels *should* have gone out for
delivery with the carrier on the route in the morning, yet...

I culled out the parcels, informed the supervisor about them, and they
sat on his desk the rest of the day, until just about the last possible
moment he could have sent someone out to deliver them, even though I was
there, free and available, and could have easily gone ahead and run them
out to the customers.

We argued for a while, but it was fruitless. He's a real bonehead who
doesn't seem to grasp the meaning of the word "priority"; not in the
standard English usage, nor in the specialized sense used by the Postal
Service.

I'm sorry your parcel didn't receive the type of service you were
expecting. I'd suggest next time you request an alternate means of
delivery, i.e., UPS or FedEx.

Thank you Conrad. I would have chosen UPS, but the company in question
doesn't offer that, only USPS. I was told that when a company only offers
USPS it is because their credit is bad, and thus should be avoided.


Hope you get your bosses job. ) (that is if that is what you want. <g>)

Actually, it's his *head* I'd like to get. He really is a major butthead
and a thorn in everyone's side. No one likes this jerk. How he found his
way into management is beyond me. <sigh>

Does he have a dark brown ring around his lips? ROFLOL

He's got dark brown *everything*.

Actually, I think he's just one of many beneficiaries of the Postal
Service's policy of promoting incompetent, useless individuals into
higher-level positions.

I'm not sure I understand the goal of such a policy, but it appears to be
quite widespread within the organization. One of its unfortunate
side-effects, however, is that it discourages anyone in their right mind
from seeking a promotion, as that would mean working in close
collaboration with these idiots, not to mention the accompanying
guilt-by-association.

Pretty much everything you've ever heard about the U.S. Postal Service is
true, I'm afraid. It's horrible. But it does make it possible to buy
nice, state-of-the-art computer hardware. I just wonder sometimes if it's
really worth it. <sigh>
