Default Does Ecklers Own US Post

Damn, their delivery couldn't be any slower :crazy:
In Nov. I ordered some weatherpack connectors and a C4 baseball cap.
Start of Jan I got the connectors, no cap.
The split the order up :crazy:
Late Jan still no cap so I tell them and they say the will ship another one.
Two days later I get the first cap, so I phone them and they say the other one is already shipped, but keep the second one as our gift :thumbs:
Well after another 9 weeks, the second one arrives :shocked:
Is US post that slow :crazy:
:cheers:

I've had some delays with things going back and forth across our border before but that's ridiculous!

I ordered an item from Ecklers [Via the internet], paid $3.95 extra for fast shipment.
2 Weeks later I still didn't recieve the item.
I called, they told me it was on 'backorder'.
Why did't you email me & let me know--being I paid the extra for fast shipment.
Answer-UUH, UUh

Amazing :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's not the USPS, it's Ecklers. Check postmarks when you get the packages to determine when it was sent. Chances are Ecklers isn't mailing them out when they said they did.

I always get my orders from Ecklers in a day or two. Of course, I live about 150 miles to the South of them. :D

it was probably held up at the border. They can hold orders there for quite a while, easily doubling the shipping time if ot more. Thats why I have a PO box in the states now to get stuff shipped to :D

Me too, usually next day and I'm a whopping 65 miles west. What delivery means are you using? Maybe its that method that is having difficulty with international shipments? Why would you have not chosen FedEx or UPS next day service?

:shocked:

:shocked:
I have had plenty of stuff shipped from US via US Post and never more than two weeks, and some in less than a week. I just don't know why Ecklers stuff seems to take forever. :smash:
I've used a courier once. $15 plus $20 for a brokerage fee and then get slapped with exchange rate on top. :mad
Ecklers only charged me $10 shipping for 2 weatherpack connectors. 87 cent stamp on the envelope
:crazy: :smash:
:seeya :cheers:

I ordered a couple things last week, got one item and the reciept said for the other item, "on backorder or shipping from alternate location". OK, thanks for making it clear as mud what's up with the other part. "You might get it tomorrow, or never, or sometime in between"
