I ordered a skunk 2 camber kit (upper control arms)
for $150 shipped.
It was free shipping… Well… I get my tracking number and it says i’ll receive the package on september 10th.
Keep in mind I ordered this the 29th.
So my guess is, the company has a set date every few weeks were UPS makes a huge shipment for them.
To be honest it’s not really that bad for an ebay business. Takes a few days for order processing and then add in the day off for the Holiday and UPS doesn’t do Saturdays.
So figure they actually got your order the next day. You will get you package in 7 business days. Now that I think about it thats really good for processing and shipping for an ebay business.
so you got a skunk2 camber kit for 150, and you have to wait twelve days to get it? doesn’t sound like a huge deal. obviously, it could have gotten there sooner, but you get what you pay for i guess. you could have paid more elsewhere and gotten it sooner but you didn’t. no big deal.
You hit it on the head in your last sentence. The company just doesn’t do enough volume to have a pickup everyday. They probably ship once a week or once every other week.
Holiday weekend screws the freight all up. If you ordered the 29th 7 business days is not bad. Labor day screws it all up because all the Monday pickups either get missed and pushed until the next week or delayed till tues with the rest of the week compressed. Holidays suck in the trucking business. They may have pickup on Monday that got delayed. So if you ordered Thurs, it doesn’t ship till late Tues, and you get it on Monday. Thats 4 1/2 business days in transit - not bad really.
