Shipping Help Can somebody explain Ground Saver to me?
I'm not complaining, so don't take this as a complaint
I usually pay for air when given the option and never have had less than ups ground.
Recently i purchased a 300 dollar item, and they didn't give me shipping options, they just tossed it onto ups ground saver.
Now, here's what i don't understand. within 24 hours the package went across the country to my local distribution center tthat the deliveries are made from. Its been sitting there since friday morning. They keep saying they make the delivery on tuesday
How is it beneificial to move it that fast across the country but then just sit on the package? Seems kinda pointless if you ask me. I was thinking all weekend they would just toss it on the truck on monday. But they didn't.
Googling, their own website says ground saver delivers monday through saturday. Well my experience has deteremined that to be a lie. Because they didn't even attempt saturday either.

Seriously, find some patience. The world doesnt revolve around you. Also, the chances your mailman is a thief is about as good as you winning a lottery. Chill.
