Re: Fast shipping again!!!

Also this week I ordered parts for a K2. 3 days coast to coast, order
to delivery.

Elecraft is to be commended for their part but so should the US Postal
Service. For
normal service 1st class and Priority Mail beat the pants off the other
carriers.

Elecraft - yes. The Postal Service not so much. I ordered the
replacement digital IO board and it was shipped right away but
the Post Office saw fit to send it on a couple of round trips
between San Jose and southern California before delivering it!!!!

Sold a FT-1000 to buy a new K3, shipped it priority mail to FL,
took 8 weeks to finally arrive, real service for sure, almost any
package priority mail to here takes over 5 days, you can track
and it arrives in Honolulu in one day from the mainland and sits
there for 4 to 5 days before they look to see who its for.
So my problem is more local so to speak, glad to hear someone
is getting what I pay for.

Re: Fast shipping again!!!

Hmmm, that doesn't sound nice. I believe the USPS guarantees a 2-3 day
shipping time on their Priority. I would ask for your money back. I have
always gotten my Priority shipments in 2 or 3 days max with USPS. Same
for shipping from here, always arrives at it's destination in 2-3 days.

No, they do not guarantee any service level with Priority Mail.
However, 8 weeks is clearly excessive and you might be able to
get a refund of the difference between standard parcel post and
priority mail rates.

USPS quotes "three days" for Priority Mail from Florida to both
KH6 and KL7.
