[RBW] Re: Riv shipping, a new world record

I remember watching the video introducing the staff at Rivendell and being amazed most at the shipping department section! I used to help with shipping/receiving for out small family run business when I was in high school and can tell you we couldn't even come close to what Jenny and her crew

Not only do the packages ship at blazing speed, but unpacking them is a delight. And I don't mean the normal, run of the mill delight of shiny new parts, but the awe and wonder of how everything fits so perfectly and is so well protected. It's the Russian nesting dolls (or whatever the heck

Shipped means picked, packed, boxed, labeled, prepared for pickup that day at 4pm (in the case of UPS, which is 90 percent). If USPS, it means boxed and taken to the post office that day. Everybody here knows the best-run, most clocklike department here is shipping. A couple of times a year a

It's ok, Joe. I understand what you meant. I just wondered which shipping option you selected when you purchased to get it shipped to you so fast. I picked three day option but I live on east coast. >From the tracking it looks like my 3-day shipping is going to be 4-day in reality. -- You

What the heck are you doing placing online orders at 2 am? You can't be behind Pacific Time (I am 2 hours behind a lot of my clients, which is a pain). I once placed an order on Monday morning from Wiggle or somesuch for tires, standard shipping. I saw the DHL truck leaving my driveway after

[RBW] Re: Riv shipping, a new world record

Usually when they ship something to me I check the tracking and upsfedex says that a label has been created and upsfedex is waiting for the items to be picked up or arrive at their facility. So sounds like it hasn't physically shipped yet. But it's great that Rivendell packs it and contact

I think every single order I've placed with Rivendell, aside from pre-order stuff, has shipped the day I ordered or the following day, with next day delivery. They're consistently the fastest-delivering bike parts source I've used, even faster than Amazon Prime in many cases. On Thursday,
