Shipped a stock and barrel to California on Tuesday and the guy got it today. Have had good luck with USPS. Shipped to China. The homeland security papers were a pain but the USPS did great. Sorry you are having issues. Don

Irene,
If you don't have it by tuesday I'll see if I can sneak out and pick it up for you.Seems like it always the good stuff that gets stuck in the mail. Dang bills seem to go thru just fine now don't they???

A kind fellow tradganger dropped me a note that broadheads were shipped yesterday. I arrived home today to find them sitting on the kitchen table.

Counting my blessings, x2.

About 2 months ago, we camo dipped two bows and shipped them insured back to there owner. Not being familiar with ilf stuff as far as pricing, I  under insured them by a bunch. Wouldn't you know it, they never made it. After lots of calls and complaining, and receipts, we received a check for the amount of insurance, but I had to cough up an additional $1200 to cover value of the bows.
Lets do the math, camo dip 1 bow = $115. Subtract shipping and insurance of $15 = $100
That means I had to dip twelve bows for free and of course eat the labor and materials.

Oh well, crap happens and the customer was very understanding and nice enough to send me another for dipping. This time he chose ups and everything went well.
I still prefer usps because I get first hand visuals of the treatment of the ups packages I get. Might sound like a joke, but I believe Ace Ventura is the head trainer for ups delivery guys.

I've never had a problem with USPS. This is how I do all my business whether I'm sending an item or receiving an item.

I have had one letter go astray for two months, but that is the only one in 40 years. So for me, USPS has a very, very good track record.

I will be glad when you get this.............

[JamesV]

I live outside a small town and my PO lady told me if my gate is closed then no delivery. We are always home and she could honk her horn or leave a notice. She is a nice lady so I don't want to raddle her cage. I just sit on the porch at 11:30

I had a guy send me a bow, and he paid extra for it to get here very quickly.... it took as long as if he had just sent it 3rd class.

I had 15 yrs with the Postal Service, quit when I started having dreams of shooting fellow workers. I have rural delivery and the Postman beeps his horn and before I can get out the door he is half way up the driveway. Excellent service. Great service from the UPS man but there shipping method sucks...PR

it will!    i mean its here in town. their just idiots and wont deliver something when they should you know. We have a beware of dog sign and i literally had someone leave a pink slip in the box and wrote "Beware of dog sign" Which is funny, cause our dog passed away (not that he was a guard dog anyways) the sign is to keep nosey solicitors and code enforcement out. so i get all sort of stupidity thrown my way. had it been my normal route lady im sure she would have left it for me.

[Siloutemirage]

so like i said, i dont blame the seller and i really dont blame USPS that much either. its just we have lazy people who work the weekend routes apparently. cause its usually the end of the week when i dont get my packages. its never the middle or early in the week.

i dont know how their routes work or anthing like that? i figured they had the same routes but i guess not?

no biggie. i'll be a little more patient.

[Mudd]

I have my post office's phone number, they open at 8am and by 8:01 they are on the phone with me asking if I have packages..lol

It's the Post Master that usually answers the phone so since she has to deal with me if something doesn't get delivered, she makes sure it does..lol

God bless,Mudd

[Siloutemirage]

hahaha i have their number too. but i never get an answer... although one time they let me pick up a package after hours.  

[Ragnarok Forge]

I have had a lot of success with USPS.  I will say that I never ship anything priority.  I have had enough packages arrive in in 6 days when shipped next day mail to know better.  I have never had a package lost and only one slightly misplaced for a period of 20 days.

UPS and FED Ex on the other hand have destroyed, lost, and all around ruined packages and product often enough I won't ship with them unless a customer insists.

[Siloutemirage]

yeah i agree ragnarok.

So here's hoping my father can release my little bow from the grips of the USPS... so i can finally get a darn good look at it! XD i have everything i need except it! well the arrows ive collected maybe too short. but i'll never know till its home.

Here's hoping! <3
