Saw on the news this morning that UPS has grounded a lot of their planes.  Sure going to gum up the works.

FedEx has also grounded their Md-11 planes after the UPS tragedy in Kentucky. 



I can not even fathom showing up for work and being burned.  All around the airport around here there a lot of workplaces.  IKEA has their store and the shipping warehouse that I can see.

I ordered a wrist watch from WM...and the delivery date is a month out.   I looked at the "tracking"...and it's coming from China...I assume by boat.

Re: Shipping lately is slow.....

I don't find shipping slow from QVC.  I usually get my orders in a few days.  It's the returns that are killer.  Not even an acknowledgment.  Took over a month to be credited for a bunch of items I sent back.  I was ready to file a claim!

Same here! My items sat "processing" for days. Some still waiting. I ordered 2 gorgeous sweaters from Macy's and they were here in 3 days!

Re: Shipping lately is slow.....

I'm in Colorado and it seems everything takes forever to get here except for amazon b/c we have a warehouse here. But other than that things take a long time to get here and I really don't know exactly why that is. Maybe b/c we are a long ways from shipping ports along the coastlines. Who knows.

I thought about posting how quick my orders from QVC are received. I never did post though. I ordered 9 items between 11/3 and 11/4 and already received them. In fact I got them on 11/6 and 11/7. That is faster than many Amazon orders I have placed.

 

My husband pays for Prime, if it was up to me I would not, and yes, sometimes we get the items the next day. However, more often than not, we have to wait several days even with Prime. I can't blame tariffs as this has been our experience for a long time.

 

I'm very happy with QVC's shipping especially since everything was bought on the free shipping days.

Re: Shipping lately is slow.....

For every customer that gets slow deliveries from QVC, there are others that get them within a few days. Some items come from a warehouse, others directly from the vendor.

 

For every customer that gets fast deliveries from Amazon, there are customers that, with Prime, wait days and days and delay upon delay. 

I think it's very much a factor that depends on where one lives, and the work force that surrounds them.
