I'll be honest I've ordered supplies but haven't recieved them all so can't even start yet. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a month or more before sending out. Yeesh

I am in the same boat, i ordered before Thanksgiving m and its only coming from NC, it still hasnt arrived yet.

I believe they call that fashionably late. If that's the case mine will be very fashionable. Wink

I hate being late. Its something the military instilled in me. But i have been having a war with the usps. I almost cursed out the local postmaster, since everything is so late. I niw have been paying extra for 2 day shipping and going through ups. Iol. Just to make sure i got other stuff.

I feel your pain Vet Lol! Our carriers over here are crazy. Then you have the meth heads trying to steal your packages. Our carrier will mark packages delivered and then not deliver them for a day or two. The office doesn't seem to care.

As far as the meth heads we had two 300 pound boxes on the drive way that are sheds needing to be put together and set up. Someone stole one. How the $&@! does one even do that? Did they just back their truck up our driveway and throw it in? Ballsy move either way. Weird area we have the very wealthy, the middle class and meth heads all in one small area.

I actually just back from usps, and FedEx, it looks like fedex and ups are the better options right now. P ost office said everything for them is a stand still. ,my materials did update last night, so its been about 3 weeks to send a package from NC to me. I could have driven down for it myself in 3 days.lol

Thats crazy poopy. But doesnt surprise me at all about texas, that sucks how they ,managed to steal that. Damn. Thats why i love cameras. Plus my gf stays home so, she is trained with ALL my firearms lol. So she is always ready.

We had the same stuff with mail carriers , growing up in NJ. I grew up on a dead end street. The mail man would deliver mail, drive down the road, sit smoke a cigar, read the paper, take a nap. For about 3 hours everyday. Lol always saw him on the bus ride from school. Lol. I had them recently and in the past. They lost my 6foot long bamboo, and my atlatl set with 6 ft darts. Lol. How the hell do u miss a 6foot box??? Both times they could barely fit in the mail truck, and where i am at now, they use personal vehicles to deliver. Enough of my rant. Lol.

I did get my SITH out in the mail today.

It stinks, but the craziness makes sense if you think about it. USPS had to shift resources to deal with a huge number of mail-in ballots last month, and now we are dealing with a Christmas rush, which is overwhelming any year, but with the pandemic more people are shopping online instead of in stores. Both Fedex and UPS have recently stopped taking some shipments from major retailers just because they don't have the capacity to handle it... and guess who that leaves for all those Christmas purchases... good ole USPS. If you don't want to spend the money to ship UPS or Fedex... just expect a lot of delays.

@morphy: that really sucks. At least now that he (or she) has a shed, they don't have to live in the truck they used to haul away your shed Sad

Posts: 331 Minnesota Gender:	Re: SITH 2020 Reply #186 - Dec 19^th, 2020 at 12:23am Well, it took me three tries before I was happy with the outcome, but I finally mailed my SITH 2020 sling. On the plus side, I now have two spare, slightly lopsided, slings.

@StoneHuevos your sling is in the mail. Should arrive in the next week some time.

Well... the tracking number says it’s still stuck in Dallas. Hopefully it will start moving again soon.

@willem I received a sling from you last year and it was great! I’ll be happy to send you one too, and then maybe if anyone else doesn’t receive one, maybe you can send one to them?
