I'm in WI, and it's usually 2-3 days for me, although mine are usually UPS.

thats odd

Were they able to tell you when your smokes were shipped?
If they had gone right out you should have had them by now.
I think for the most part that USPS does a great job, but my mail carrier told me that sometimes they let the packages, especially the small ones, pile up for a week or so at the local Post Office because they don't have enough employees to sort them. Encouraging isn't it? Be thankful that it's not some necessary mediction you need!

I'd call your local PO or drop by, maybe they can "find" it for you.
Best of luck.

I'm still waiting for the Padilla 1932 toros from the Jambalaya.

I get my C.I. stuff in 2-3 working days out here in Cali.

01-29-2009, 06:15 PM

I usually get my shipments the next day or even the same day in Virginia (down as far as blacksburg)

Rabidsquirrel · 01-29-2009, 06:54 PM

What kind of shipping did you get? Priority or regular?

Fumador · 01-29-2009, 07:16 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if it is the usps. i was in the mail order business for many years and the usps lost a lot of packages . We finally had to go strictly with Ups. The Usps was not accountable for their mistakes and there was no recourse.

USPS is also lobbying right now for one less day of mail delivery....to save money....coincidence???

I get my stuff in three when it is USPS. 6-7 when they use UPS.

neoflex · 01-29-2009, 09:27 PM

When I was living on Long Island and even here in NC my stuff showed/shows up in two days three tops. I also have all my CI/C-Bid/Joe shipments sent via UPS. Before I told them that this is my preferred method their shipping methods were random at best and I had two packages go rouge and one was sent USPS and the other DHL. If it's not there by Monday I would call and put up a stink. No reason why shipping should take that long. Have they sent you a tracking number at least? Not that it makes a difference when sent USPS but at least if you have one you know it was shipped and when it was shipped.

MedicCook · 01-29-2009, 11:42 PM

I noticed that my order is coming USPS when all my previous orders came UPS 1-2 days.

Lucky_Hippo · 01-30-2009, 03:36 AM

The last two small orders I made with Joe are the first to come through USPS and they both took 6-7 working days. In the past they always sent them UPS and they got here in 2-3 days, plus the driver would wait until after 5 to deliver them for me.

01-30-2009, 04:27 AM

I get mine the next day. Although I live an hour and half away.

I think they send the smaller stuff USPS, and the larger orders UPS. That's what they've done for me anyway.

01-31-2009, 09:54 AM

well here it is day 10 and still no smokes they are still in pa. cant wait to see what they look like,they will probably need rehab after a 10 day journey.

01-31-2009, 10:05 AM

Last time I ordered from Joe and it was being delivered USPS, they required a signature for some reason. They had never done this before. After a week or so,I poked around and found this sorry looking yellow slip of paper at the bottom of my mailbox telling me I had to go pick it up at the local office. Dunno, maybe they are sitting at the P.O. waiting for you?
