Placed an order with Brownells left Grinnel Iowa on the 8th. I'm roughly 300 miles from there North, North East. On the 9th its in Kansas City in the opposite direction. Thought at least they'd send it to Chicago.

    smartpost?



    Probably dumb post double checked 261 miles from Grinnell to Milwaukee. 208 miles from Grinnell to KC in the opposite direction.


    Never waited more then 3 days from the time it left Iowa until the time I received it. But looks like this about to change.

    Damg buddy, it's only been one day! Don't even sweat it until the fourth day and even then wait another two days before you start worrying

    On Monday the 1st I sent a package first class to Macon GA. It was the holster rig I had previously posted.

    I was told it should be there in three to four days.

    It was tracked into GA at mid week, and said it would be delivered last Thursday. On Friday it was tracked back to Chicago, and then delayed in PA...???

    It finally arrived today...[:(!]

    I sent a pal in Grand Island, NE a package about a year ago. I live in a one horse town with a USPS that has one clerk and doesn't deliver mail! I watched the tracking go to Indy (as it should) and when it got to Seattle, WA I asked our clerk WTH? As I expected, she said "Gosh, I don't know". Yeah, it finally got there.
    It's too late for me, save yourself.

    Having the same problem with Brownell as you with a set of go-nogo gauges. Been a week now. Something that small to. Has to be compost.

    They do that all the time, the fastest route is always not the direct route. If they had to wait long enough to get a truck to come directly to you it would take longer. But if they sent half a truckload to another place that has a half a truck load, it will come quicker to you.

    Probably went to the nearest transfer hub. I often order things from Georgia, and they get from Georgia to Albuquerque in 2 days, and then it takes 3 to get across town.
