Efficiency in Shipping

[bradbn4]

sometimes there is a bit of a custom's delay and that can slow down things a bit.

I picked up some stuff from China, took 4 days to get to customs...but that was sort of expected based on the write ups.

I ordered some machine parts from Prague, it took a few less days for customs inspection.

I’m in a situation where I mailed payment for a magazine to a guy in Missouri. Sent him pics of payment and the moment I dropped it in the mailbox at the post office.
He sent the mag out a couple days later.
The mag arrived in 4 days and he has yet to receive the payment as of today. I mailed it out on Dec 17!th!!
We are in communication about it, But I don’t want to seem like I’m a scammer.
It did take a month for a card my mom sent to get from CA to CO. Weird shit.

Hopefully it's not a big jar of Wuhan...

Yea. The expectation is an article of clothing.

I have a delivery vacation hold on my mail with USPS but of course they put a package slip on my door saying they needed a signature to deliver a package. Morons.

First time this has happened. UPS driver backs down driveway and leaves. No package no note, now scheduled for Monday. Good thing they drove all the way to Elizabeth to not drop off my package. Driver probably noticed the sender Red River Reloading and took package home to see what was inside. If they shoot 6mm creedmoor then they have some bullets to reload with.

Item for me shipped directly from China & was at jfk in 5 days. Been sitting there for a week now. Imagine that's a bit different but still annoying. I hope they scan & forward it on soon.

Heh. It arrived today. Apparently went from jfk to my doorstep.

No stops. Nice.

I have been waiting on a replacement tire for my truck for two weeks. I called the company today, and they told me apparently Fedex lost it. They are sending another one out today. The last tire they replaced only took 3 days to get here.

We mailed out Christmas cards and family pictures to friends and family on December 10th. My grandparents got them just before Christmas. Perfect.

My mom asked me today if we sent her the same pics and I was like "Of course!" They haven't received them and they live 4 miles away from my grandfolks. Not the end of the world but jeeeeez man, come on. 20+ days for an envelope?

About 6 of my package I've sent on week of 13th-19th still have not reached the destinations. It has been 6 days after Christmas now.
