I recently ordered the last few pieces for my AR build over the holiday and I selected the cheapest shipping option in all 3 cases, so I knew it was going to be a little longer turn around, but I'm on leave from work and have a lot of time to sit and stare at tracking information to my own detriment. The three packages are all with different carriers and its been both comical and infuriating to watch.
The first, my barrel which was ordered from Ballistic Advantage on Saturday the 1st didn't ship until late on the 5th with an original delivery date of the 11th, then pushed a day back on the 12th. So far it seems to be on track, it however has arrived at the local UPS facility as of 4am this morning. No need to get it out today I guess.
The second, a Geiselle trigger was ordered on the 4th and went out with FedEx on Wednesday from Texas. It arrived in Troutdale early Saturday morning, but Ground doesn't deliver on Saturday. Ok whatever, I can look forward to it on Monday, but nope guess again. With a projected a delivery date of the 11th, we're just going to sit on it until then. It's finally out for delivery.
Finally a flash hider I ordered on Thursday out of Auburn, Washington was sent via the intrepid folks with the United States Postal Service. It took them until Saturday to pick it up though that could have been the seller. Anyways it took all of 3 hours to make the trip to Portland and I figured again Monday, but ... for God knows what reason it was rerouted to Spokane, WA. It showed being in transit back on Sunday with a Monday delivery date, but lo and behold nothing. Last check, the Sunday departure date from Spokane disappeared and it left late Monday with a delivery date of Monday and is still in transit. I already sent an email to the USPS, so we'll see.
Looks like UPS for the win, for the least amount of douchebaggery.
