I have to vent

it is a shame that TKS is gone, but I can understand owners wanting to retire. So Jantz has now acquired Koval (years ago) and TKS. I had dealt with all 3 of those companies and even visited TKS once when I had a work trip that had me flying thru Houston. Lots of fun packing the blades and such to stash in my checked luggage.

When I lived in Houston I visited TKS several times. That was 25 years ago and I did business with them for years. That’s why I did’t call them before I sent my blades, never dawned on me that they would be closed.

during the first trump administration Dejoy, a man with huge business conflicts of interest, was appointed post master general in order to disrupt and get rid of the USPS in order to privatize it. He has done a remarkable job of making it ineffective and incompetent. Until then I have never had a package disappear or get stuck somewhere in the delivery. Now it seems almost ever package takes muck longer and I have had 5 that the sender has had to replace. One package went from about 2 hours from my home eventually to anchorage alaska (I received an out for delivery notice on the tracking despite living in California). That took about a week and then another week to finally return to california and get to me.

I know what you mean, I recently sent a small package to Canada. It went from Raleigh to Greenville to two places in Florida to Michigan and finally to a place in Ontario where it was sent out for delivery. Why it went to Greenville and Florida is mind boggling to me.
