THANKS!!!
A couple of things we have learned that may help everyone plan their orders:
Every day the mail leaves Milwaukee airport at night (that is the ONLY time) and the local post office takes the mail to them at 6 PM. So, every weekday, I take the orders to the post office just before 6 PM. IF you order by 3, it is normally in that trip.
WEEKENDS: The trip out of Racine is at 4 PM Saturday. So, if you order BEFORE noon on Saturday, it is likely to be in that trip.
This means orders received Saturday afternoon and Sunday will leave Milwaukee MONDAY night. But this also seems to mean you will receive them anywhere in the USA before the following Saturday (I did the bulk of my turning on Saturday and Sunday when we did not have shows those days).
We DO offer expedited shipping if you call and request it. There is an additional charge (higher postage), and the Post Office advertises it as a "guaranteed" delivery (unless the weather is bad, then they use that to excuse themselves from their "guarantee").
In short, we are trying to understand HOW the Post Office works and use that knowledge to improve our delivery to you. (Unlike Amazon, we don't have distribution centers----but if you ALL give us ALL your business, we will see how long it takes until we can compete with Jeff (Bezos)!!
Thanks for compliments---we do, indeed TRY!! It is really nice to see you notice!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: We continue to work seven days a week, at least ten hours a day to improve!!
