Well looks like I'm the asshole! I went to bed last night at 1100 PM and It WAS NOT on the porch. I woke up and went outside. Guess what, it was there. Holy cow. They must have come later and dropped it off. So much for adult sig required. I am glad it is hear and I take back my previous views of FEDEX. Flame away!! |
Huey CHief, I'm in the same boat. My ORF 45-rounders were due today; it's now almost 9:00 pm, and my Saturday is blown to hell, and the most recent tracking update was from 3:30 am Friday, from Shawnee, Kansas-- 1300 miles away and 42 hours old. Now I have no idea what comes next, but I am not pleased. I have another shipment coming from ORF also-- I guess this is the dress rehearsal.  Edit, Sunday 14:20-- No change, here or on my tracking page. Still shows as having departed Shawnee, 03:26 Friday. Glad yours arrived, Huey_Crew_Chief. . . but I'm now officially pissed off. I can understand if they're going to be late, but what good is a tracking number if they don't update the damn tracking?!?! |

fedex tracking is more of a wag then an actual time and they usally show early ups on the other had tells you a day and a time and it will be there when they say only prob is its usally 3 weeks even if your only shipping 200 miles todd needs to start usein usps you can ship 20+ mags for 8 bucks and its there in 3 days |
I got mine just three days after I ordered. no problems. They are NEW Bulgarian, wish I could afford the Russian ones so I could have four russianinstead of two russian and two bulgarian |
| I order mine on the 22nd, i received shipping notice friday that they would be delivered sat. guess what? no delivery yesterday. now when i check Fedex's site ,it looks like the package hasn't been picked up from ORF yet. hmm, two weeks from order date to delivery is not a good turn around time. i don't care how busy you are. and i thought K-Var was slow. mmk |

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Tracking showed them out on truck for delivery so I waited for them alllll day, they never showed. I check the tracking this morning and here's what it said " Customer not available or business closed " New delivery date is 12-6

| I have a stock set coming from kvar. Scheduled deliver UPS ground is the 6th, but their tracking system says that the package has arrived at the UPS warehouse (in my town) on Saturday (3rd). I am expecting my package on the 5th. They have always been correct or early so far. |
Same thing happens here in WI. Fedex sucks - BUT ADULT SIGNATURE SUCKS TOO for 35 bucks in mags. I finally received my mags yesterday (Original delivery was Tuesday) from ORF due to the Adult sig. My fedex terminal is 45 minutes away minimum 1 way. I was going to order 2 more sets of mags last night but decided against it cause of the hassle dealing with fed-ex and the adult sig BS. P.S. Did I mention the Fed-ex driver hates me? I guess I caused him to lose a $200 monthly bonus cause I complained about him. He lied about a delivery of a primo kit -he never showed up and marked me as not at home And he's pissed at me Anyway I hear ya. |
For some reason ORF sent their mags out with an adult signature required. Generally, most people don't put sigs required. |
I don't deal with fedex often but the UPS guy is here several times a week and i've never had a problem. USPS has also been very reliable but their so called tracking system sucks. I don't believe for one second that i missed the fedex guy, i believe he was running late on deleveries and i'm way out in the sticks and he said screw me lol. Just a theory. |
The mag springs are under high pressure. You dont want anyone to lose an eye, guys.

About two hours ago, the tracking page finally allowed that my mags had made it to Portland, OR, this morning at 11:30 or so. I had checked at 4:00 pm and there was no change. So probably I'll see my  ETA: We have all but quit using USPS where I work because of the loss ratio. For all their faults, Big Brown is still the most dependable means of shipment, horrifying as that is to contemplate. (YMMV, of course.) |

Okay, feeling a little better about these guys now. I found out I can call and arrange a late delivery, though they do their best to obscure the phone number; and the local driver went the extra few miles to drive back and see if I was home at the end of his route. (I was-- tan 45-rounders have been delivered! ) I guess there was a good-sized blizzard in the Midwest that slowed things down. I just wish they'd keep their tracking info more up-to-date; mine disappeared for five days, and that's what got me hot.

Tuesday has now gone , I found the sticker on my door this mourning at 10:30 but it said they were there at 11:00 and no one was home, but guess what....I was home, i was on the reloading bench in the basement, i swear these guys dont use the damn doorbell or the big ass brass knocker on my front door. My door bell is louder than the revelry horn at boot camp, lol. Fedex can kiss my fat ass thats all i have to say, they have always fucked up delivering goods to me, DHL man those are some bozo's too, I just sold a motorcycle on ebay and the guy sent the payment via DHL from europe, this was the first time i received anything from DHL, i sat in my kitchen watching the guy approch my house, he didnt knock or ring all he did was put the damn sticker on the door. I had to yell at him to get his attention. UPS is a different story with me. I get all kinds of stuff delivered to my house and their the best, the driver even gave me a pound of venicine jerky this year just a week ago.
