Blame Amazon Prime. Customers are expecting to place an order for PEDs, have it travel either across the US (2000 miles) or across oceans by drone and hand delivered into their backyard. As opposed to, at most, 2 days to dispatch and not be searched by the carrier or customs and fuck covids impact on shipping, container issues and the timescale and still get here in a reasonable time.
Mail is as slow as an OP who can't even click on a banner link but f**ks that up too
That is what exactly this comes down to, people have a sense of self-importance and entitlement and unfortunately people have held on to some sort of concept that the customer is always right by holding vendors and sellers hostage.
These people are all grown adults, they know better and it's up to them to do better planning on their own end when making purchases. For customers to act like this is absolutely obnoxious and I personally blacklist every single one of them.
