azgreg I have an idea.

I'm sure you are on the right track. Grrrrr.

    Eguller Any time I've got things from them it was a direct ship via UPS, no matter the package size. Prolly would have been faster had they come from China. 😁

        I shipped a package Priority Thursday 13th to Clovis, CA, 160 miles away, expected delivery Monday 17th...damn m0therfuker!

        if they'd used UPS, I'd be testing those grips this weekend. We're now on 4 days sitting in the same PO.

          4 days later

          I've got a package that has been sitting in a next door town 8 miles away for 5 days. Was shipped by ups and handed off to usps for final delivery. Its been sitting there since it was handed off.

            There is hope. I had the same thing happen and today after 7 days, the 2 packages arrived. Except that
            mine were 45 miles away...lol.........the only thing I can imagine is the they were low on the priority list.
            " Yeah, just toss them over there - they were handed off by UPS "

                It's getting bad to worse. Paying for UPS Priority 2 day and waiting 10 days for delivery seems to be the new norm.

                Now I get it...with all the delays in delivery I now understand why the check from Fatboy..aka SMT has never arrived...this must be some kind of record!!

                That would be UPS Surepost. Fedex has Smart post. Both drop off to USPS. Avoid both like the clap. Both have always been bad but worse now. Avoid vendors who use this or upgrade shipping if you have an option.

                  Placed an order from Golfworks(OH) on Sat. which shipped Mon., or at least they printed the label. Tracking was showing it not actually shipped until today. Just now, tracking shows it at the Des Moines, IA distribution center, which is the normal route to me. To me, this means it will leave there late tonight, arrive in the QC, and be delivered tomorrow. BUT, 'expected delivery' shows 'by Sat.". And I'd bet it sits there until late Fri. night until it comes here on Sat..

                    You were right. It finally moved and arrived at the local p.o. this morning. I guess 5 days was enough resting time.

                      Told ya so....local tour of all the derecho destruction, I'm assuming.

                      I mailed a set of irons on August 3 via USPS Priority. The buyer has still not received them. It's "In transit". He's pissed and I'm pissed. What in the hell is going on with the USPS? What should a seller do when the buyer pays for "Priority" shipping and this kind of shit happens?

                        I've been saying this for weeks. Do NOT use USPS if you expect fast shipping. yes probably 75% of the time USPS may work but what about the 25% shipments that get stuck which are shown here in this thread. Plus I am NOT talking about Amazon USPS Bezos has a different deal IMO. I used FedEx 2 Day from Alpha today will be here Monday from So. Cal. Cost me a few bucks more but worth it.

                          I started this post July 16 and people complained with me. Maybe you didn't see it in time before trying to ship your stuff?

                            Keep in mind, Priority has never been a 'guaranteed' deal. It was always stated as '2-3 days'. What will you do, and they do, if it takes 6 days, 10 days, 14 days?.....there is no money back. It's not going to get better. It was stated that things are being put on hold, but the changes in place now...stay in place. Even FedEx now has glitches called "special exceptions", and I'm not sure what that even means, but a recent shipment of mine (outgoing) was delayed for 1 day, for what would have been a 1 day delivery.

                            I can see some types of small businesses going under with this shipping mess. They cannot get stock, they cannot move product. And no one is going to do anything about any of it. They are doing nothing about anything, anywhere.

                                Years ago I shipped a package priority 2-3 days and it was a week late. I went to the PO to talk to them. I was told 2 - 3 days is a goal but not a guarantee and that they wouldn't even send a "tracer" out until after 10 business days.
