This is the way my hobby goes...

I ordered a Meziere pump from a company because I needed it quickly. I live 1/2-hr north of Detroit, and this is the route of the pump via UPS........

Do the parts get mileage for their travels - unbelievable !

 

[Speedbird]

I was with it till it went to Oklahoma.
Maybe it was misdirected.
What was the shipping cost on that circuitous route?

 

[oldbee]

Totally awesome! I actually got a stripe kit from Aaron in Dayton,O a day quicker(3) than USPS said it would arrive. Actually a 4-5 hr truck drive away from my location.

 

[mmissile]

It was where it needed to be....then fate stepped in. It hasn't moved in 2 days.

 

[oldbee]

And here I thought you'd just received it. Jeez

 

[Zeppelin264]

Reminds me of the time my package shipped from LA, went to Detroit, then down to Dallas and then finally back to San Diego. Then once it hit SD it had to travel to the "local" post office which adds another day to the mix. They cant just ship it to the "local office" anymore I guess.

hahah it was like 6 days, for a package that should have been here in 1 day.

And Mazerre is local to me. Nice guys, always at the local track.

Thought only USPS did s**t like that. Ordered something a few months ago from Washington state. It didn't stop in five states Wo, Ia, Il, Pa and Ny. Missle your is a real saga.

 

[mmissile]

I've always had great experiences, shipping USPS. Hell...they deliver stuff for UPS to our home, all the time. I always ship USPS, first....unless it's too large.

 

[Cranky]

I've have great luck with both UPS and USPS but don't use UPS much anymore. They just cost too much. Anyways, a buddy ordered a new Dodge Power Wagon with a 440 in 78 and it did what your pump is doing. It went all over the country before finally arriving at his local dealership 5 months later.....

I just kinda went through the same. Had a pkg. leave Vegas and went to a couple places, one place they had a departure scan before the arrival time, how does that happen? Was supposed to get here on Friday, I got it on Weds. I have no problem with that at all.

From what I understand, even if you ship something next door to your house it has to go to some type of "hub" to get sorted first. On the surface it doesn't make sense, but they sure do better than the post office at not losing packages (why UPS/FedEx exist in my opinion). Your package made a wrong turn somewhere, but at least you can track it.

That's nothing...I ordered some parts urgently from our Gate supplier a few days before Christmas 2016. Spoke with the packers and sales, assured me they would label the package URGENT and send it out asap on the first air freight available. Melbourne, Australia to Auckland NZ....maybe 3 hour flight. Dumb-asses, they loaded on a flight going the wrong way around the planet. The package arrived in the middle of January. Could still smell the curry from the stop-off in India.

I ordered a kickdown cable last week, and the vendor immediately posted that it had been shipped with a tracking number, but the tracking number never showed that the package had even been received. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday, and never showed up, so I contacted the vendor and they over-nighted me a new set via UPS that's coming in today.

 

[PlagueOfBadgers]

Update...the UPS driver is looking for your house.... in Texas...

 

[beanhead]

UPS has been sucking lately......I order something from summit and if it's in their Reno warehouse I get it the next day if I order it early enough(FedEx or On-Trac, and both deliver on saturdays)...Bought new swimming pool filters online, they shipped UPS from southern CA on wednesday, tracking shows they arrived in Fresno on thursday but still says "in transit" est. delivery tuesday 6-13...

 

[Bruzilla]

Sure is amazing how fast UPS can move when they are motivated. Item was picked up in Van Nuys, CA at 5:57PM, and was on a truck for delivery in Jacksonville, FL by 8:17 AM, and that was with a flight delay.

 

[beanhead]

I've noticed a lot of things go through 'Looville' they must have a big distribution hub there

 

[RT SE 440]

half your luck try getting something down south I've had a parcel came for the USA landed in Australia in 3 days and now its been 13 days in transit orbiting the earth

That's called a walkabout down there isn't it?
