    Slowest ship in the shipping business?

    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.

    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.
