~~ IT"S FINALLY HERE!!! ~~ Now with Pics on the last page!

[Siloutemirage]

So it's finally here and im ever so happy! there's a quick pic on pg 3 near the bottom!! I cant wait to give her a try. it needs a few things, like the nock seems really low to me. its easy to pull, which is alright since im new to this (or the string is loose? dunno? it was a pain to string.) and its really long! im 5' 4" and its 66" inchs... i hope thats not a bad thing! either way i need arrows pronto so i can see how badly i shoot with it on thursday! hahahaha!


Really... i am more then a patient person. but Ive been waiting for over a week for something that i thought should have been here Thursday and that i KNOW has been in town since Friday. and Ive gotten no message, no slip no nothing. and if i had known they wouldnt even have tried to deliver it today i would have marched right down their and give them he!!. i mean i love my normal route lady... but if you dont have the common courtesy to get your butt out of your car, when im home and leave a note... then what else am i supposed to do but complain!? Now i have to wait even longer for my bow. im so upset its not even funny. i mean maybe im over re-acting, but darn it. I've encountered so much generosity on this site, and was so hyped up to give it a try and have something to show for all that genorisity and nothing. im so upset. *sighs* now im just discouraged with everything. theres a lot else going on, but i figured this would be my one good thing. guess not. i'll get off my soap box/whine fest and go hit my head on a wall        or something now....

     I am not laughin at you I am laughin at me cause I have so been there. BTW the walls dont work just makes your head hurt. I once stopped the Fed Ex truck while directing traffic on an accident to ask about an anticipated delivery.

You'll forget the frustration Monday when you finally get that bow in your hand.

Sorry!! Sometimes a woman just can't catch a break!

I'm having to wait until Monday since mine didn't show today.

God bless,Mudd

I live in a smallish town and the PO folks know me and all about bow deliveries and stuff. I think when they know I am waiting on a bow they send out delivery trucks to drive past my house just to tease me-everwhere I look I see mail trucks, and I just know my bow is in there-why don't they stop and make the delivery?  

[Siloutemirage]

thats funny bjorn.

Mudd, Honestly i cant catch a brake.

Canyon, glad im not the only one.

Hopefully my dad can pick it up for me (without a slip, i just printed out the tracking number) they never left a slip and i work the entire time their open. if he cant, then i have to wait till thursday which is my day off.  :(

This is not directed at everyone in the postal service(by this I mean not intended at you Killdeer), but I have had just bad luck with the post office.  At my old place the delivery was just horrid.  You never knew if a package was going to make it to you or not and if it did there was a good chance it wouldn't be in one piece.  After I moved to a different town I'd figure the mail service would be better.  Wrong, this mail person is so lazy that one day when I got home from work she had literaly driven the mail truck through my yard and was parked literaly on my front steps.  Then she had the nerve to actualy throw the package out the window onto my deck.  I actually watched all this happen.  I can't even explain how angry this made me.  :mad:

I am having a issue as we speak about this issue today. I got a bow from a fellow member here on the gang. I have confirmatiom package was received for shipment this was on Monday Sept 27, expected delivery Sept 29 this was by priority mail insured today still no bow. I contacted the P.O. gave my story, they gave me a case number and said we will contact you in 2 business days, we are going to try to locate the item. I thought Priority was a priority? Anyone else have this problem?

i sent some topo maps to a friend who lives in a town of 1100 people 40 miles away on Sept. 6th. I shipped 1st class with delivery conformation. it took 6 days to reach the one and only post office in that town. my friend lives 1.5 miles from the post office. he got the maps in his mailbox Sept.30!!!

[Killdeer]

Wasn't me...

But on the other hand, I made a trade with Canadabowyer in BC and we both had our bows in 10 days from the date we shipped them. That's pretty good time considering they had to be inspected by Customs and travel over 2000 miles.  Neither bow was damaged either.  Sometimes the post office is the model of efficiency and other times you wonder if there is a black hole that packages fall in and are never seen again.

Yep i've been haveing bad luck with usps.I dont know whats going on.But items that took a few days a year ago now takes 10 days.My daughter bought OSU tickets on the big auction site.The seller lives in Akron i live about 20 miles east of Columbus.The seller shipped the tickets on monday priority mail.They arrived here on friday.The game was on thursday.It's only 80 or so miles.I could of walked them here in that time.Wow thanks i feel better now.Hope your bow makes it soon.Jim

Wait til you do get it and one end of the package has been re-sealed like it was opened and the bow looks like someone tried to string it and shoot it in the warehouse on lunch break. Just something to keep you flying.

Been there done that! But I will give a Big tip of the camp hat to the post office here a few weeks ago. Hot hap mailed me some broadheads he said he sent them out at around 1:00 P.M. on Tuesday well at 11:00 A.M. Wednesday they were in my mailbox here at home! 22 hours from door to door!

When I'm expecting one of my "toys",I'll be sitting at the PO before they open.

[Siloutemirage]

i guess first off i assumed it was sent prioriety... bad me never assumed. so when 5 days came and went i thought "Oh noes! its lost in the mail!" Wah! but then i asked and found it was sent normal... ok fine. just a few more days. then i find out they "attempted" to deliver it and left a note.... uhh... i guess the squirrel's stole the note to use as a nesting material or something. i mean i even checked some trash that was in my yard to make sure it hadnt escaped with the wind.

then i forgot that they no longer redeliver if i dont actually request it. which they used to even though they looked at me like i was crazy the last time this happen.

now dont get me wrong, i love USPS. ive never had a problem and all my packages have arrived safely to their destination. (im a pro packer though...) and one time i had a package lost, but that was due to parcel post apperantly sending it the scenic route... USPS still thinks that it never arrived to its destination. took a month or more, but it got there.

and like i said, i love my normal route lady. shes typically very nice and always leaves my packages in a safe little place.

its just frustrating. all the bad always happens at the same time you know? I've been to the range already and like bass pro two or so times. more then enough places to get new string, arrows and stuff. each time i think i will be ready i havent been.

Its a good thing i dont hunt. O__O it would make me even more livid if i was waiting for it to hunt with. not that it would be legal to do so. Haha

Oh well. i'll just breath and go over all the stuff i do have and hope it will all work.

i wouldnt pass it by someone to do that. but then id have some more mighty words for people if it came broken cause some stupid person tried to play with it.  :(

This is a local mail truck a few days ago. Be glad your new bow was not in it.
