According to the latest news, its going to get slower as the new head is tasked with reducing costs. I placed an order with Hireko golf for a new putter gri...

Toulon This afternoon, most all show to be where they are headed, or close to. I even just took them 3 more, in case they were running low of things to move! 😁

I finally have a reason to join many of you in complaining about FedEx. I bought a couple dozen golf balls from golfballs.com . They were shipped from Lafayette, LA on Feb. 18th, They were checked in at the FedEx origin facility Lafayette, LA on Feb. 18 and left that facility on the evening of Feb 19th. At 1:24 AM on Feb. 20th they arrived at the FedEx facility in Indianapolis, IN. Today, Feb. 24, they are still at that facility. WTF??? Just sitting there for 4 days? I know they will likely blame the bad winter storm in the south for this but the shipment made it out of the south (Louisiana) to the midwest (Indiana) where the weather wasn't as bad...

Yep. I just had some issues with them sitting there also. Must be Indianapolis problems.

They got up to 12" in some places. Esp. southern part.

My last post above must have the wrong date. I've got some boxes out that were sent on the 16th. No clue where they are today. I was just lucky enough to ship to Texas, MS(2), CT, FL, and just about any place that is not 'North of Chaos'. Guessing no one wants to work OT.

I have 2 tracking numbers that I have been watching. One I shipped out, the other is coming to me. They currently both say about the same thing, just different date.
"February 22, 2021
In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility."
Truck get stuck in the snow someplace??

My Caiman irons finally arrived today via UPS ShartPost. They took quite a while to get to FL via UPS, then yesterday's tracking showed them handed over to USPS and added a USPS tracking # which showed as "delivered". FALSE! They weren't here yesterday. They were delivered today via UPS. Not sure how they got back to UPS from USPS.

sdandrea1 UPS ShartPost.

That right there is a truer name than 'smartpost'!

I just ordered a set of the Power Play copper's. I'm thinking if I swap the shafts for stiff flex, my son can hit them.
He's had his so long that the grooves are disappearing.

Walterjn Got a box coming in from RBG, in VA. Shipped yesterday, Smartpost, which is unbelievable coming from them, for clubs. It left VA last night at 9:54 p.m.. Today, at 9:54 a.m., it was at the hub that serves this area near Chicago. Normally, it would come down here about 1 a.m. tonight, and be delivered tomorrow, just 2 days.
Can't wait to see how long it sits up there.

@Rickochet came up with that one. It's appropriate. 😁

How about this one.. I took a prepaid package to the Post Office last Thursday and the tracking tonight says that I have created a label and USPS is awaiting the item. How happy do you think the person is on the other end with me!!
It looks like I took his money and I have done nothing which I do not blame him for thinking.

brownmoose13 Bastage!! Where's that driver? You shipped it yesterday, didn't you?

😅

I told the driver I was first sending him on a mission to find the shafts and after he points that package in the right direction he will call me and then and only then will I let him head in your direction!!

Par4QC up until a few years ago, UPS, and FedEx never had a problem delivering anything, now it seems that they have to run it all through the USPS...
Seeing as how UPS doesn't accept p.o.box addresses i just wish that they would bother to make it known that they would be shipping sure post. Had to put a mailbox at the house just so I can get packages via UPS sure post and the like.

Smartpost is the actual name. I call it "Shartpost." The latest mail wonder is UPS Mail Essentials which is another UPS/USPS adventure. I ordered an item on Ebay 12 days ago. It was shipped Mail Essetials. UPS tracking shows it finally being handed off to the USPS 2 miles from my house 4 days ago. USPS tracking shows it in Smyrna, Tn. Finally it is out for delivery today. So, it sat in Smyrna or at my PO for 4 days. How nice.

My box was sent "Surepost", gudgawd. Sure, it went VA to IL in 12 hours flat. Sure, it made it to my local hub early today. Sure, it's still sitting there. Sure, it will be delivered. Surely....sometime in the future. Fucktard shipping, that's what it should be called.....surely.

Walterjn

Par4QC Fucktard shipping, that's what it should be called.....surely.

Or "shit post" I would accept that name.

Surepost is the equivalent to the Fedex Shartpost. I once got notice of a Surepost shipment by UPS. It got to the UPS terminal 25 miles from my house on a Thurs.. I got an email from UPS offering to deliver it to me on Friday for an additional charge of $2.50 which I declined because it pissed me off. They delivered it to my USPS 2 miles from house on Friday and I will bet the UPS truck was in my neighborhood that day. It didn't get delivered by USPS until Tues.. I avoid Surepost and Shartpost if at all possible.

Rickochet I avoid Surepost and Shartpost if at all possible.

I do also. But, it was 'free' shipping and only stated 'economy'. Never had them do that before, everything always comes UPS, in just 2 days, with the free shipping.
