I placed an order for fencing gear with a company in China. They shipped via FedEx on Wednesday. I received it today in northern Thailand. NOT in BANGKOK... waaay up here in the boonies, 12 hours north of the big city. Three days from China to Northern Thailand, two international borders, two customs clearances, and it still managed to get here in three days. UPS can't go state to state in less than six? Something is rotten in the state of Denmark!

Shipping delays amongst all carriershas been a major bone of contention this holiday season. I don't believe anyone has even attempted to explain what the issue has been. It has affected everything from letters to packages. Amazon is in the midst of issuing major refunds due to the delays. Not sure why they should take it in the shorts as opposed to the carriers though.
