Slowest ship in the shipping business?

[w2amr]

I ordered 4 electrolitic caps from AES in Az. They were sent out UPS on 11/23. UPS scheduled delivery date is 12/02. 10 friggin days to ship a little package from AZ to NJ? Damn!

how much did you pay for shipping? ordinary UPS shipping is three days source to destination; they have slower options for bulk shippers.

What values were the caps. I recently ordered a bunch of condensers and parts from Mouser and I got them in like 3 days. But brand new large value electrolytic s from companies like Mouser can get very expensive. Did they give you a tracking number ? Any way to find where the condensers are located ?

Unless these were huge oil filled condensers, $9.41 should have the parts to your door in less than 10 days. I would contact them and check on the status.

You picked the wrong time to ship. UPS didn't move a single Ground package on Thursday and Friday (add 2 days). They don't move Ground on the weekend (add 2 days). It usually takes 4-5 days for UPS Ground to get from AZ to NJ. You do the math.

Well that answers that question.

Oh, Ok. It was shipped ground. Yep, the holidays + weekend are the problem.

Next time ax them to use USPS Priority Mail. It works. It is faster than UPS. Much faster.

Yes, I ordered a bunch of "orange drops" (modern day RoHS versions) and i got them in 2-3 days via USPS. If its an option I always chose USPS.

Problem I find, is a lot of places won't do USPS. I don't know why, either. They will pu, the boxes are free, and 98% of the time (no pictures-just a guess) they are less expensive. And as mentioned above, 3 day on 1st class and priority.

I've been waiting over 6 weeks for an order of bicycle parts from an outfit in California...only problem is that they are waiting for a seat post from an English supplier to come in before they'll ship. Talk about your slow boats - I think that one's still rounding the Horn. :roll:

Ordered something from Newegg last Friday. Shipped UPS 3-day. Should be here this Thursday.

Looks like they flew it from Ca to Memphis and then put it on a truck to Denver.

Glad I ain't in logistics.

And as mentioned above, 3 day on 1st class and priority.When I worked at Westech back in the '80's, the store got a discount for shipping via UPS. It was pretty decent as I recall, at least 25%. So if you figure that the shipper charges you full price, he has to give all of that to USPS, but can keep a piece of it for UPS. Basically, pure profit.

:agree:

Gotten great service with that. Trouble is, a lot of shippers refuse to use anything but UPS.
