Recently in Texas the Beaumont USPS office closed down and all of the SE TX mail now goes thru Houston. Based on my understanding, this has caused numerous delays and lost items. I recently had an issue myself with a Money Order being lost in the mail and it has Ben 5 weeks. USPS will not pay a claim for 60 days.

I ship thousands of packages a year through usps. They lose about 3 or 4 packages a year, which is not bad at all when you think about it. Maybe a dozen or so a year take longer to get where they're going than they should. All things considered, they have the best service at the best rates and I will keep using them.

I ordered some "buck fever" and asked for it to be rushed. They mailed it 'express 3day'. I got it 17days.. which was 5days after I got home from my hunting trip.
It was a $9 item not new BOW! Yikes...

I process all the non PayPal payments for the Trad Gang St. Jude's Auction every year, I have had Priority Mail payments arrive four months after the post mark on the envelope. Another time I sent a Postal Money Order Priority Mail for an item I purchased here, off the classifieds,half of it came back to me two weeks later and the seller received the other half of the money order a couple of days later.

Too many instances to list them all.....
* Had a check sent to me on Feb 11 one year, it arrived July 11th (with the 2/11 postmark).
* Had a package take 2 weeks traveling 1 mile to the next post office over from mine.
* Currently have 3 packages I mailed from Columbus Ohio on 10/18/15 to NY, PA and CA....they are all listed as being stuck in Cincinnati Ohio right now. How they got to Cinci is anyone's guess.

That said, I've shipped and/or received thousands of packages over the past 20 years and the amount of issues have been relatively small.

For comparison, I had a bow shipped to me from CA last Thursday, it was on my porch yesterday when I got home.

Thanks for the info...still no bow...seven more days and sender can file a claim...maybe if it is costing them money they can find it!

Well seller just contacted me and the bow has been declared lost...he is filing the claim and refunding my money. Thanks to all and if you ship anything USPS insure it because they can not ensure its arrival>>>------<>

FYI to everyone following this thread, the PO has declared the bow "lost". I have to now follow the claim procedure as I was the sender. First time I've had it happen with USPS. I hope it's the last.

huntnelmo · « **Reply #32 on:** November 03, 2015, 01:27:00 PM »

Just fyi kbetts is a great seller...he has kept me updated throughout and answered my emails...Thanks for your hard work kbetts!

I've got issues with some arrows that were shipped two weeks ago. Scanned when departed the original place of shipment.Nothing scanned in nine days.Not my first bad experience with usps.They do get it right most of the time but a bummer when things get lost in space.
Good luck guys

huntnelmo · « **Reply #34 on:** November 03, 2015, 04:09:00 PM »

Well a lost bow, arrows and broadheads per this thread...all they need is a quiver...lol!

kbetts · « **Reply #35 on:** November 03, 2015, 05:21:00 PM »

Lol... I still haven't heard if the ground turkey feathers I sent to Michigan the same day made it.....

Maybe you can Google the sorting facility where you saw it last and find the phone number. Call them with the tracking number. Maybe? rat'

For years I had no trouble. Then, within the last couple of months I've had several get lost. One of them made it all the way from Kansas City to Detroit (Allen Park) sorting facility and then spent 5 days with no update. The shipper called the Allen Park sorting facility and I got it the next day. I would definitely call the last scanned facility.

huntnelmo · « **Reply #38 on:** November 04, 2015, 08:23:00 AM »

Appears all activity was at the original post office. Only tracking info is it was accepted and then left there to a sorting facility. No other tracking info available. Hoping they may look a little harder when they are faced with paying a claim >>>-----<>

Still no bow!
