On a related note FedEx left a package on my front porch at 8:55 PM last night according to our ring doorbell. It was ordered by my daughter and she had it shipped to our house so it wouldn't be on her porch while she was at work. My wife went to bed early and the ring is connected to her phone so I didn't know if was out there until my daughter got an email today saying it was delivered. Fortunately it was still there. I assume once the carrier can show delivery their responsibility ends so if it had disappeared that would be on us?

I often complain about the time required for deliveries to get here from wherever, and there has been a lengthy issue with USPS because they closed a processing facility in Macon and everything was going through Atlanta, but occasionally I am blindsided by how quickly something arrives.

Just prior to COVID-19 I ordered a case of BOSS Cu plated bismuth shells. Order was placed on a Friday morning about 9:30 am. Sunday afternoon it was delivered and left on my front porch by FedEx. I know because we blow off the porches and patio every morning with an electric leaf blower and the package wasn't there Sunday morning, and it was Monday morning early. Michigan to rural GA in 2 days. Crazy fast.

Interesting, on last Monday Jan 6 I sent two Priority Envelopes from PA to vendors in So Cal and OR, and wonder of wonders both were delivered in two days on Wednesday. The So Cal dealer shipped the item on Thursday the 9th by Fedex Express and I received it on Saturday Jan 11. The OR items were also shipped on Thursday by UPSP Ground Saver/Priority and I received them on Monday Jan 13. Perfect on both!

I have an item in route via USPS from Georgia; shipped 1/7, tracking just shows "in route to next facility, arriving late". Hard telling where it is.

About eight years ago I had Bachelder's do some work on a very nice 16 gauge hammer gun. When it was done and ready to ship Brad called me to say I should see it in two days.
After the fourth day of waiting and seeing through tracking that it had been delivered.... But it had NOT arrived at my address.
I called Brad and told him about this and he suggested it may have been stolen from my doorstep like is often read about these days... But before we hung up I suggester he go to his shipping people and find the address to which it had been sent.
Surprise Surprise.... It had been shipped to an address in New Mexico or some such...

But I still didn't receive it until three more weeks. Strangely it was undamaged.
