Priority Shipments sit at sellers home for 2 weeks

I'm not gonna say a whole lot about this topic. Picture this.. Seller has only one option for shipping and that is PRIORITY. Ok, thats cool. But in their listing they state how they only ship out (I've heard many different ones) once a week or every 2 weeks. Yet they charge you for PRIORITY delivery. Yes, It normally doesnt amount to much difference. Often under a buck. But they only give you that one option, then make you wait! I confronted one and i tried being polite about it. The reply I got was quite ugly. Basically they told me I was nothing but an ebay trouble maker (sure, I was causeing their scam trouble) and that they were gonna block me from bidding so they wouldnt have to deal with me and my negative ways. (Or worry about thewir feedback?? and others catching on maybe) they then went on to justify WHY they charge PRIORITY... to assure their VALUED customers a safer, gentler handling of their packages.. HOGWASH i wrote back.. The same gorillas handle all the packages at any delivery service, There are no "Priority Gorillas"  and "Parcel Post Gorillas".. Just Gorillas. And Im not trying to attack the hard working postal services here. Its a way of life. For us to pay the prices we pay and to expect packages to be handled with white gloves would take 3 times the amount of time and the cost would triple!! Now thats not excusing the completely crushed box you got last week. But a guy tossing a box up 2 ft over his head isnt exactly abuse either. AnywayZ.. thats not my point Im making. I just wanted to mention this subject. I dont care if I get any votes here, in fact, anyone that wants to tack this small guide onto theirs, has my permission, as long as it gets seen. And I want to make clear that there is nothing wrong with only offering one type of delivery, just abide by it. If you charge priority, get the package out the door by the next day!
