Is it surprising that USPS is broke?

Woodengun · 06-11-2015, 12:22 PM

Amazon order for spray paint.

Delivery address is Redwood City, CA - maybe 20 miles from Oakland, CA.

Tuesday - Oakland, CA.
Wednesday - Champaign, IL.
Thursday.....maybe heading for Bangladesh?!?!

Lol. That rattle can is gonna travel at least 4500 miles to go 20 miles....

msjt · 06-11-2015, 12:25 PM

Bruh....it says Oakland,IL.....

Z K · 06-11-2015, 12:26 PM

I'm sure its because its a sorting hub so it goes there. But yes, it can be a lot more efficient or they can have multiple hubs as UPS and FedEx does.

And it is Oakland, IL so that would be local to them.

Down my way. Not far from here at all. Must be someone selling out of his garage.

Great news, your package is now in Iowa.

I recently checked the price of some spray paint on amazon and they wanted $22 for the same 11oz can that Home Depot sells for $6. I hope that you shopped around.

Rude Boy · 06-11-2015, 02:25 PM

GOT EEHHMM!

Shredicus · 06-11-2015, 02:46 PM

OP is lying. He received the paint yesterday and has been huffing it vigorously ever since...

AIRPOWER · 06-11-2015, 03:04 PM

I heard Walmart sells spray paint

VB5ER · 06-11-2015, 03:14 PM

If that is the paint "matched" spray paint let me know how close it ends up being to factory. Was going to get some to paint the middle or all three of the pieces of the lower front bumper. Get rid of the "wide mouth" look until I can upgrade to msport. Amazon reviews not encouraging.

MrPrena · 06-11-2015, 03:45 PM

This is so far the best thread of the day.

Woodengun · 06-11-2015, 03:47 PM

It is supposed to be BMW black sapphire metallic.

I'll do a bit of testing and post results.

Hopefully I can spray paint better than I can read!
