Broke, what type of stores would have watch bands in Hammond area? I need a light tan one for tomorrow night, not sure about one day shipping on Amazon

I ordered something from Primary Arms in Houston and had it shipped to me priority. A few hours later I ordered something else from PA and had it send standard ground. I actually got the ground shipment first. Checked the tracking on the priority and they sent it to Memphis first, then Metarie then BR. Ground shipment went straight to BR. Pissed away $15.

It is a terrible concept. Let's take a package and swap carriers once we get close to the destination, giving it to a carrier who is renowned for screwing up residential deliveries. It adds more moving parts to a process that should have less. It used to involve completely different tracking numbers as well, and it shows as delivered when it is dropped off at the post office, not your home.

It's asinine.

Jewelry store? I would order that online but this is tricky. I can give you one but you would have to drive here.

Update: Delivery now back to 4-29. This is getting comical

No. If they did what Delta does, they would be more like regular FedEx deliveries that all go through Memphis.
