    I have a package that has been juggled around for 14 days and have still not received it. Went to the post office in birmingham where the tracking said it has been for 3 days and the lady was not helpful at all. She told me it should get to me soon.

    If this is the USPS Distribution Center? If so, I live 1 hour from Bessemer/B'HAM. Package arrived early Sunday morning at Distribution Center. Said it won't arrive until Friday by 9pm. I could drive 1 hour there and back quicker. Pathetic! This is also on non holiday times also.
