You do realize we are in a global pandemic, and shippers are experiencing delays due to increased online shopping etc, right?

I shipped a cue to Texas priority mail two weeks ago and it was delivered today. Never any further activity on the tracking until today.

It sat in a trailer in Ft. Worth for most of that time because the local depot was so far behind. Thankfully the weather was moderate or it could have been bad for that cue.

I'm glad it finally got there and was not jacked .

Yeah, shipping today sucks .
I might just use UPS.

My sister works for USPS and said its the busiest its ever been in her 25ish years there. (Packages only, not mail).

They're losing money on each one but making up for it in volume:thumbup:

I ordered a riflescope from Optics Planet a week ago and it hasn't shipped yet.

On the other hand, I ordered a tree stand from Bass Pro Shops the day before yesterday and it was delivered today.

I think it's hit-or-miss depending on who the shipping agent or vendor is.

Optics planet is notorious for taking their time to ship orders so your delay may not be due to COVID-19 or the package deliverer.

I heard the reason they are down cash is not the per transaction shipping cost and employee pay, but rather they have to fully fund the entire future pension of all employees something like 50 years in advance. I doubt there is a company alive that could fade that.

Good to know this...I'd been wondering.

If Fed X did not do per promise, ask for refund, for bad service. Yes Fed X does do refunds.

The last piece of equipment I ordered went from North Carolina to Atlanta back to North Carolina to Mobile, Alabama (40 miles from my home) to Montgomery, Alabama (180 miles from my home) back to Mobile then to Gulf Shores, Alabama where I live. That's not caused by busy.. That's caused by poor logistics

Post office lost two 35 pound dumbbells I ordered. Stuff is just disappearing.

ChrisSjoblom · May 13, 2020

I ship between 1 and 4 items each day, usually USPS Priority or FedEx Ground/Home Delivery. I haven't noticed an increase in delayed deliveries. For my money they're both doing pretty good.
