Post by: greentrout on March 05, 2024, 06:32:44 PM
Has anyone that purchased a call from the NWTF auction received any updates on shipping?

They are slower than molasses in January. I'm sure I will get mine in about a month. They should keep the bidding site open to inform purchasers when shipments are made.

They have always sent an email. Just very slow. I've purchased every year and always get a late delivery!

They are shipped in waves.  If you are one of the lucky ones, you ship early.  Last year, I was one of the last and everyone else had their calls.

No email here so I am one of the unlucky ones it appears. Glad some are filtering in though!

Got my email today, should have calls in 1-3 days (If the USPS does their job). This is the part that makes me sooo nervous.

Can you believe this s**t with the usps? What a disgrace, the pony express was more reliable.

I won the raffle and was told my calls would be shipped to me. After a week and no email or any calls I messaged the guy who called me and he said they were being shipped after the auction. I never seen or heard a thing and finally last Saturday a vehicle pulls up at my door and it's my local rural carrier and she has a package. They had been left undelivered at the post office and she felt like she should bring it after hours....DUH! I don't know how long they had been there. I thanked her for at least being one responsible person. I wondered why they used USPS. There's a comment section on the auction page, they answered me when I asked about the calls.

I almost bid on that hooter, must have over looked it at Nashville. How does it sound because it's definitely a looker.

Got my package the next Thursday after the auction ended on Saturday. I must have been in the first wave that went out. Mrs. Brianna Alley shipped it from Grovetown, GA. She seems to do an awful lot to help make the NWTF week happen.

I hear what you guys are saying and I am not doubting you, but here where I am at, our Post Office and mail man is jam up. But I can imagine that might not be true in all parts of the country, and sometimes the shipping error occurs before it gets to the local post office.

Im certainly no owl hooting expert, I usually use just my voice. But while I was in Nashville I heard some that really sounded great . So I decided to bid on this one , it sounds awesome to me, and loud! My wife will be filing for divorce if I don't stop with this thing.

The problem is the NWTF leaves that packaging and shipping up to one individual. They should have several people helping. I know my last name is always on the tail end.

I'm not complaining about shipping. This is the first year I have bought a call from the auction. I was unsure if they notified you your item would be shipping or if they just showed up.

I got mine 2 weeks ago. I won a Tim bullock push pin and a Val Espinoza hen box. I guess I got lucky.

I got an email saying I had a shipment from some lady whose name I did not recognize and it turned out to be the calls.

I received mine a few days after the auction. Five days later I believe it was.

Today was the day! I emailed Tuesday and got a response that those in charge of shipping thought mine was broke. Kevin had looked it over and looked at the pictures the builder had submitted and decided it wasn't broken, just had removable pieces. They got it packaged up and sent out and it was waiting for me this afternoon. Not sure what was going to happen had I not emailed to check because there had been no communication about it possibly being broken.

It sure was nice the old way! You could pick your calls up the next day. They took the fun out of it!
