Bought a 22” turkey barrel for my Versa Max 12ga the barrel came blued so I wanted to get it dipped to match or come close to the Realtree AP camo pattern it is now. I found a place on GA that dips about anything so I emailed what I needed, the reply was AP pattern was replaced with Xtra pattern. That was the reply.

So me being me I said the turkeys won’t care so how much for xtra pattern then? The next reply was they would check in the shop to see if they had any AP material back in the shop left over and they did so $125 for the dip plus return shipping. Now I’m getting some where I thought.

I got it boxed up and included the forearm to try to match as close as they could. Several times they said the one they had would be lighter or darker keeping in mind the never did see my pattern yet? LOL CYA maybe not sure.

So I want to ship it UPS they are not as rough as other options and better on the insurance end of things. Well the lady starts out saying how much it’s going to be Oh my God it will cost you a lot! I asked like what $35-$40 she said maybe more. It was $15.50 so why the hype.

Shipped it on the fifth now it is sitting in Cali they say it will be deliver by next Thursday, it was sorted wrong and missing for a few days. LOL

Shipping is majorly screwed up right now. Major highways going into big cities are shut down right now. Only thing you can do is pray @ this point.

I ship a lot and UPS is at the bottom of the totem pole. FED - EX is at the top.

It isn't just shipping but handling is messed up too. I ordered a new headstall for one of my horses and a 22lb bucket of feed supplement was delivered instead! The packing slip even has the headstall listed on it, not the bucket of supplement. I'm still waiting to see how this gets sorted out.

My postal facility right now is shipping more now than at Xmas.We can process up to 7000/hr. Pkg machine is running almost 24 hrs. We have a ton of UK & China mail being shipped up from the city that they cannot handle. For the time being be patient with all the shippers since more online buying is being done since malls and stores are closed.

It means Fed Ex dropped it at a Post Office and is mailing it the rest of the way.

I despise Fedex. Every single time someone ships me something through them, I only get it if I call the 800 number and complain, which usually takes at least an hour. Right now I have a box from Nite Lite sitting on a Fedex truck that should have been delivered last week. For anywhere from 3-5 days, the tracking number will show "could not be delivered" even though my account is clearly marked with instructions to leave at the gate. After I call, they will deliver 1 or 2 shipments okay, then right back to the same thing. If I don't call, they just update the tracking number as being delivered, even though it never was. Several boxes were lost forever through Fedex. Recently one was marked delivered when it wasn't..... then showed up at the gate 3 weeks later!

With my luck it will get to Atlanta and the diver will go to Wendy’s for lunch if it ever gets there.

Barrel made it to the place today 18 days it has been floating around it went to Cali and TX for most of the time sitting there! Just hope the choke threads are not all beat to heck but it's packed well.
