Has anyone else experienced slower delivery of ordered goods since the blackout of a couple weeks ago? Coming back from vacation yesterday, I'd expected to see a box o' engines. That vendor that I buy from regularly, said the blackout could have backed-up mail handling some. That sounds plausible. Anyone else waiting longer than usual. -- Richard "it's taking on shades of a "where's my Sport Rocketry" thread" Hickok
Slower shipping since blackout?

Nope. Ordered a FlisKits rocket at ~8PM Monday night, got confirmation the next day, mid afternoon, and received it USPS Thursday mid-day. I guess that makes the shipping 2 days.
However, some vendors could be backlogged???
Well, even before the black-out, if it's engines and not kits, I waited for the USPS 14days to deliver a package of estes and 24mm AT motors only 120 miles. Parcle post can take a long time, and is different by distrcit and employees.
his example on the fliskits is priority mail and you can't send engines by air.
The box o' engines & 2-part foam arrived today!! They said it was shipped out Wed. the 20th & it got here Sat. the 30th.....a few days longer than usual for Ohio to DC....still, I'm glad they showed up. -- Richard "some SU engines to compliment my reloads for next weekend's MDRA sod farm launch" Hickok
