    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!!!
    Don't get me started

            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?

                    Bad luck I guess....we have shipped thousands and thousands of packages with them.

                            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
