Shippers Beware!!! The USPS has lost a box that contained two of my Harold Fowler strikers. This package was sent Priority Mail. They are a pathetic. The latest tracking information update was March 4th. The package traveled approximately 30 miles before they managed to loose it.

I had a package shipped the 8th of Mar and still haven't received it ... All I can get from tracking is that it's still in transit to the next location
I feel your pain about the USPS

I have a Wingbone from EZ from my son's first turkey that shipped out February 27th and still haven't gotten it. It's said in transit since March 3rd and that was the latest update

All the same, FedEx, UPS, & USPS have all lost packages of mine over the years...
I insure everything, but it's still a hassle.

I'm presently waiting on a pkg from Scheels. It's been since early March. It sat over a week at the same regional center 10 mins from my work. It finally moved today. Went to another distribution center and has now been returned to the first one. Really aggravating me

Three years ago I bought a $1,000.00 fly rod for a bucket list trip. The seller shipped it USPS second day. It took over a month to get here and the outer package was damaged but fortunately the rod was fine.
About two years ago FedEx delivered a bench top lathe to my house that I did not order and it had no sender information. I called FedEx on three occasions trying to figure out what was going on. I tried to get them to come and get it and they told me no. It's now sitting in a buddy's barn.
They are all big giant outfits. I've worked in FedEx and UPS facilities it's amazing the amount of packages they handle. With the advent of online shopping it's not surprising that they have issues.

There's just ZERO consistency with any of the shippers. They charge outrageous prices for crappier service. Me and a guy on here traded calls last week. He mailed his from NC and I mailed mine from FL last Monday morning. His call made it to me by last Wednesday but my call to him just made it today. I would strongly suggest getting insurance on ANYTHING valued at over $100 to be safe.

Always document contents for insurance purposes.

Every month FedEx delivers a package of medicine to my front door. Problem is, it's not mine, it is not addressed to me. It has an address for a guy who lives on another street about a mile away. It has his name and his address, but they drop it of to me like clockwork.
After repeated calls I just deliver it myself.

I just shipped out two of his strikers as well not an hour ago, I hope there are no problems.

Just received a box call that took 22 days and traveled roughly 2060 miles. Funny thing is it only started about 400 miles from where I'm at. If your package ends up in Memphis it will be there for about a week then it's a toss up where they'll send it.

Well that package was supposed to get to the person today but is stuck in the JACKSONVILLE FL DISTRIBUTION CENTER. Well at least it is in the right state.

Ordered a shotgun part and it shipped March 17. It sat in IL for two days, then to St. Louis. No tracking for two more days, then arrived in Knoxville(less than 150 miles from me). From Knoxville, it went to Grand Rapids Michigan, then Atlanta, then Gastonia NC, then Charlotte, NC. On the 21st. I. Still waiting on it but it's getting closer...
