Title: Shipping Delays!
Post by: bbcoach on August 15, 2020, 03:50:06 PM
Not sure if any of you have noticed but it seems just about every company that has online ordering has a 5-7 day delay for processing and shipping of your orders.  They say it is due to volume.  Be aware if you are ordering for the upcoming hunting seasons.  Get Your Orders in EARLY!  Christmas will probably be a NIGHTMARE, so make sure the BETTER half knows as well!

Haven't ordered anything in a while but will definitely keep it in mind. Thanks for the heads up. Is that in shipping from the warehouse or do you mean from the time the company ships there is a delay or both?

Companies are getting so much volume, they can't get your order out.  They are putting fliers on their homepages saying there will be a 5-7 day delay in shipping your order.  I ordered some trail cams from Natchez on Sunday and they shipped them Friday.  With COVID, many people are Stay at Home Shopping and it is raising volume and extending ship times.  Make sure you factor in several more days if you need something.

Well I guess I am somewhat lucky I live about 40 minutes north of Bass Pro even though it is overpriced they typically have what I need. The only thing I really need at this point is a new one piece rod and some bore tech eliminator and shotgun cleaner.

Overall I have not had a lot of trouble. Had some strikers that I shipped that took forever and did not update the tracking. Had a trumpet I was concerned about. I ordered some binos the other week from Cabelas and got them on two days with them coming in on a Saturday through FedEX. Hopefully will have something come next week and I hope there is no issues.

Overall my luck hasn't been terrible. Pots take 2 weeks and I've been waiting on strikers for nearly a month, but considering all the hubbub with customs I'm just counting myself lucky to have them in hand at all!

I've ordered a few things from Bass Pro and they get here pronto, but I am close to the main headquarters. Like others, things I have ordered from smaller companies take a few days to get shipped.

I sent a sight to Holosun to be checked out under warranty via USPS, and it took 3 weeks to get to California.

The lefties are blaming on Trump and some may be true to a bit as he has appointed a new Postmaster General.  Most likely the fault is mostly on the damned bat-eating communist Chinese and their virus.

I agree, buy everything you can remember that dirtbag Biden is appointing Beta o'Rourke has gun Czar and he is coming for our damn guns. That's what he said paraphrased.

I've ordered 3 items over the past few weeks....all of them have come a week later than the estimated delivery date. When you look at tracking it simply says, "your package is moving through our system and will arrive later than expected." It's crazy right now.

I have had delays with all of them, bought a scratch box and it took 8 days to get here by priority with USPS I also ordered some lacquer for a call I am making and that was ordered on the Third and did not arrive until the Eleventh that was with UPS and had some problems with some Bluray's that did not come for almost a month through Fed-Ex because they lost the first set that was sent and would not admit it until I got the shipper involved.

Okay cool, I was going to wait until the first to order my products from Bore Tech but may order early. Don't need the guns until the 26th of September but want to get them cleaned and sighted in before then. Thanks for the heads up guys

You guys are welcome!  As I stated, I was just putting out the info in case you needed anything.  If you wait till you need it, with the delay in shipping, you will be waiting a week to 10 days after you have to have it.  Be proactive guys and don't get caught with your pants down.

UPDATE---Received my trail cams today from Natchez via Fedex.  Shipped Friday from Tennessee and in hand in NC today.  I talked with the Young Man that delivered the box and he told me, he was on his 21st straight day working.  Yes, they are working 7 days a week right now to move the volume of packages that they are receiving.  Plan Accordingly Everyone.

I just got a deer feeder from Sportsmans guide. It was here in 3 days. Fedex screwed the box up so bad they had to put a new label on it at their distribution center.  Then low and behold stuff is missing. I absolutely hate fedex. How they stay in business blows my mind.
