I agree, but my biggest problem with shipping has consistently been the USPS. Talk about a bunch of overpaid I-dont-give-a-shit idiots! They have "lost" 3 different shipments of optics, 1 of electronics and my damned DRIVERS LICENSE ! This, all in one year. I am now at the point where if my only option is the USPS, I buy elsewhere. I'm so sick of not getting what I paid for. I emailed the Postmaster General - that brought 3 hasty responses about how "We will do everything in our power to find your purchases and get them to you" - and that was the end of it. Disgusting...If yours came by USPS I may have an idea what happened to it... Consider the shipper.
