As much as I’d like to supply some confirmation or good news right now, I’m sad to say that I can’t confirm the date, location, or time of our upcoming meet-up. It WILL happen. I just can’t say when.
Why? Because the postal service sucks. In order to save a few bucks — so I could maybe buy some beers for you guys — I had Matt send the iPhone 3-5 Day Express with the USPS. Bad idea. Now we’re going to have to wait patiently until the USPS interfaces with the Polish postal service and finally wait until the mailman’s horsedrawn buggy rolls up the cobblestone streets to the front door here in Warsaw. That said, if it comes today, I’ll book my trip for next Tues or Weds. If it doesn’t come today I’ll have to hang back and maybe do it on Weds or Thurs. It will happen. Promise.
I had a similar experience dealing with the USPS. I opted to pay for express shipping and is that what I received …… oh no. $38 and guaranteed 3 day delivery to anywhere in the world. Package got there in 3 weeks.
The postal guys probably read this site and are now playing around with your iPhone. Good luck
Budapest is not in Poland.
Budapest is the Capital of Hungary
wow. maybe THAT was the problem, Wang.
read again, wangjel. as of now, Warsaw *is* in Poland.
That is why it is called the “US POSTAL SERVICE”, Not “Global Postal Service”. Can’t blame all of it on the USPS. USPS cannot control how/when other countries deliver the mail!
