Mail service in Alaska blows. They always take forever, no shipping is under $40, and they damage and lose my packages. 2nd day air never works, it always takes 4 at least, my last shipment was a tripod and it was all bashed, there were holes in it, and parts were missing. My bro ordered a Zune and somebody broke into it and stole it, so all he got was a bunch of ripped up zune packaging in a box.
the mail also lost a Fisheye SLR lens I ordered and I NEVER got refunded for it. Im fucking pissed about that still.
