Really low supply and I still owe jet mech 63. Waited all day..email says they transferred to the post office 20 miles away. Added 1 to 2 days to delivery. I will never use UPS for anything again.

That's sorta what I've been saying all along. OOopps sucks.... ??
While I understand the frustration because this has happened to me multiple times before -- the only way to avoid it is to specifically ask the shipper to use a service like UPS ground, or USPS priority, etc.
If you are ordering an item online and they have a "saver shipping" or "bargain shipping" option and don't list the specific service then this is most likely the shipping service they'll choose as it's the cheapest for the shipper.
FYI:
"Consolidated services like SurePost and SmartPost eliminate residential delivery surcharges by allowing UPS & Fedex to deliver packages from many different vendors directly to the local USPS office branch that normally handles their mail delivery. UPS and FedEx get to make just one stop to deliver many packages, and the USPS letter carrier who is going to be driving by every house in a residential area on his daily route is not having to modify his route."

I rarely smoke a cigar ROTT so does not really bother me, but it is just annoying tracking a package for 5 days to travel 1 hour.
An hour? Man, I think I would drive it and see if they would allow a pickup. Do they have tours?
No, its just a big warehouse.
The other place has some Superstores as they call them which are like a huge B&M. Very cool. One of them is located right next to a Cabelas. Can make for an expensive day.
