    We order a TON of stuff on Amazon, and have been Prime customers since 2004.

    They're likely going to want to keep us around, thanks for the tip!

    Yes, ups delivers to my area. Three years living up here while ups had the contract there were 1-2 times UPS didn't make the delivery date. In the past 6 months there has already been at least 3 times I can remember usps not making the delivery date. It's not just them missing the delivery date it's them saying it was delivered when it wasn't.

    Curious and might have missed it. I'm pretty certain Amazon always uses UPS. Did you order from a 3rd party vendor who is shipping USPS?

    I wonder what language is in Amazon’s delivery guarantee? Have you ever filed a claim with UPS?

    USPS got the shipping contract for Amazon in a lot of areas last year. If they still use UPS in your area consider yourself lucky. Trump even mentioned how bad of a deal it was for USPS.

    I have no issue with UPS. Have you ever tried to call support with USPS? It's an endless phone tree.

    The 3rd party vendors through Amazon rarely fulfill the 2 day shipping. I try my best to stay within Amazon even if it's a bit more. I waited for 3 months for a dremel last winter... 3 months on a 2 day prime item. The kit was nearly 30% that of any place so I waited it out

    They use the first three up here... Thank the heavens they don't use the last.

    At the end of the day at least I don't have your shipping luck.

    That's the secret phrase to take over my luck. Best of luck to you. :rofl:

    Last few things i ordered i end up seeing FedEx or ups truck and getting it directly from them instead of waiting for a delivery.

    Looks to be skid plate mount for an off-road, the more rearward one. I’ll see if I have a pic

    Do we need to get you a cricket phone so you can see the numbers to call us before you go out alone?
