I'll start it off...

Received the Callaway Mavrik Max 5w and 7w I snagged during their Black Friday sale a day early

Boy, when they bill 'em as "like new," they really mean like new. Can't wait to hit these.

Their BF sale actually started last Monday. These were ordered on Wednesday. So it was five calendar days. Still: They arrived a day earlier than the original estimate from UPS

USPS was super early this morning. This lot was waiting for me at 7:30

Still anxiously awaiting my Theragun from Budget Golf. As of friday, it was 50 miles away with an expected delivery of this morning. As of this morning it's still 50 miles away, but now with no expected delivery date.... Oh fed ex. How the mighty have fallen.

FedEx hasn't been the FedEx that used to be "If it absolutely, positively has to get there overnight" ever since they acquired Roadway Package Systems (RPS) and created from that FedEx Ground.

I had always given them my preference until about 6 months ago. I could usually rely on them to deliver overnight when needed and within 5 days via ground, with better package handling than USPS. But as of recently, it's become really bad. I order stuff overnight from Carlsbad every week. It's only 115 miles from my house. The shipment goes out, and is processed in a timely fashion, and then it reaches the hub in Ontario, CA and comes to a grinding halt. Overnight packages from 115 miles away are being delivered between 3 and 4 days after initial shipment. I open a case each week, and nothing is done. They no longer follow up with me, and I have yet to hear any sort of apology or refund offer.

If that happens with USPS, they are very quick to provide a refund. I know most people don't like the post office, but these days they are in a completely different league than Fed Ex. I won't go near UPS with a ten foot pole. Too slow and expensive. DHL is my go to for international. They're always on top of things.
