Had to rant a little. bought a hull from another of us, he shipped it quickly and its not even half way to me 6 days later......It will be atleast 4 more days before I see it......I wonder if the UPS guys horse died?

How was it shipped?? If normal ground, then that is slow. The more you pay the faster it travels!! Choose the cheapest way and sit back and wait!!

On the other hand I got a boat shipped to me from Paul Pachmayer at Fast Electric RC a few weeks back. Sent slow way, but it arrived 3 days ahead of the original scheduled date!!!

For my shipping I always use DHL or Fedex. too much craps disappears when shipped via ups for me..........

In my experience, UPS in the lower 48 has been okay. I've never had a hull crushed by them. Ding Dong Dash FredEx on the other hand darn near turned a Seaducer SD3 42 into jigsaw puzzle for me (got it from a buddy of mine not Jerry).

Been using UPS for 10 years, always on time and never lost a package. I don't understand the 4-6 days.....we always have an exact delivery date. Was this International?

I have had nearly 1,000.00 worth of claims with UPS in less than 2 years int he past, about 10% of stuff shipped through them. UPS is always my very last choice

Should not matter because everything is still in transit the depots and truckers dont stop for weekends.

BTW, the DHL stuff ordered and sent 4 days after the hull got here today, and so did a motor from china.........and yes the hull jsut showed up....pretty bad when a slow boat from china is quicker than UPS
