Slava, Yes, I was frustrated by how slow UPS ground was getting my K3/0 Mini! But I have it now, and it works great, and the frustration is gone. I also have Amazon Prime, and two day is not always two day. When it's not, their is no recourse. Also, if you pay extra $3.99 or whatever for Amazon 1-day, and they don't deliver, there is no refund.
I get mad because I'm rural, and the local UPS guy lives close to me -- so, UPS always says my shipment has been delayed by weather, and the packages end up coming 8 or 9pm at night --- because the driver wants to deliver them on the way home. USPS Priority Small, Medium or Large flat-rate shipping is the best deal in the country for 2-3 day shipping. I sent my K3 back for repair in a large flat-rate box. No problems. Also, if you have an ebay account, you can buy and print USPS labels for 20% off. 73, Gerry W1VE Gerry Hull, W1VE | Nelson, NH USA | +1-617-CW-SPARK AKA: VE1RM | VY2CDX | VO1CDX | 6Y6C | 8P9RM <http://www.yccc.org> <http://www.yccc.org/> <http://www.facebook.com/gerryhull> <https://plus.google.com/+GerryHull/posts> <http://www.twitter.com/w1ve> On Wed, Apr 23, 2014 at 8:36 AM, Slava Baytalskiy <[email protected]>wrote: > I guess i'm just spoiled by Amazon Prime and their 2-day no matter what > delivery. > Sometimes, a lot of times, i actually get it in one day, depending on > where the item is geographically. > Oh well... > This just means i'll have one less distraction when putting up my new Hex > Beam this weekend. > > Slava B > W2RMS > > On Apr 23, 2014, at 8:24 AM, Larry Lopez <[email protected]> wrote: > > > USPS ground is 5 days, not 5 business days. > > USPS ground moves on the weekends. > > UPS ground does not move on the weekends. > > > > UPS drop off at Staples at 5:30PM Friday > > doesn't get picked up until 5PM Monday > > > > This isn't a criticism of anyone. > > It's an explanation of what has been observed. > > > > I look at it as allowing the transceiver > > a short vacation before going to work. > > > > MontyS [via Elecraft] wrote: > >> 5 business days - 7 calendar days, is nominal for coast-to-coast UPS > >> ground. > >> Fedex the same, although they deliver Saturdays (but not Mondays). > >> Not much > >> Elecraft can do besides offer options. > >> > >> I usually use Priority Mail if available - 2 day delivery usually. > >> Monty K2DLJ > >> > >>> Hi everyone! > >>> Sorry if i'm venting, but how come even the tiniest packages from > >> Elecraft > >>> take full 7 days to arrive via UPS Ground? > >>> 1 pound package via UPS Ground, for almost $17 shouldn't take this > >> long, > >>> should it? > >>> I understand this isn't Amazon Prime, but come on, 7 days? > >> > >> ______________________________________________________________ > >> Elecraft mailing list > >> Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > >> Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > >> Post: mailto:[hidden email] > >> </user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=7587706&i=0> > >> > >> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > >> Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > >> Message delivered to [hidden email] > >> </user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=7587706&i=1> > >> > >> > >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >> If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the > >> discussion below: > >> > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-and-FLDIGI-tp7587559p7587706.html > >> > >> To start a new topic under Elecraft, email > >> [email protected] > >> To unsubscribe from Elecraft, click here > >> < > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscribe_by_code&node=365791&code=bGF3bG9wZXozQGdtYWlsLmNvbXwzNjU3OTF8MjU5MTAzNDE2 > >. > >> NAML > >> < > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=macro_viewer&id=instant_html%21nabble%3Aemail.naml&base=nabble.naml.namespaces.BasicNamespace-nabble.view.web.template.NabbleNamespace-nabble.view.web.template.NodeNamespace&breadcrumbs=notify_subscribers%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-instant_emails%21nabble%3Aemail.naml-send_instant_email%21nabble%3Aemail.naml > > > >> > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > View this message in context: > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-and-FLDIGI-tp7587559p7587709.html > > Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________________________ > > Elecraft mailing list > > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > > Message delivered to [email protected] > > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [email protected] > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
