Planet Minis

In the interest of saving some of my buyers some $$$ I recently shipped a few items US Post Office Parcel Post. I'm talking the big stuff: wheels, exhausts, 10-20 lbs. things.

The difference in advertised shipping time was a few days and the price was typically 30-40% lower.

Turns out Parcel Post is taking twice as long in some cases. I shipped a front wheel to MI from CA and it took 15 days. It was supposed to take a week.

Please be patient with me if you bought some of my parts, I'm talking big items, I've learned my lesson.

My apologies.

Thanks,

JT

I noticed that also lately. Parcel post is painfully slow these days. It used to be pretty reliable. I just recently sent a fender from Boston to OK I sold on Ebay. After 3 weeks I finally had to just give the guys money back....The fender showed up the next day !!!! My loss..... I will only use priority mail now.

Yah priority mail is the best, But FedEx is really cheap on big stuff and is alot faster then UPS,probably ever time.
