Ok I placed my order for a casual kilt in Fraser Red from USAK on Dec.10th

. Not knowing the cut-off date to make it by Christmas for rush orders was Dec.8th(only because I didn't read their home page

). I still was hopeful that it would make it here in time by Rocky & Company

I recieved a shipping notice on Dec.15th. The package was picked up by USPS on Dec.16 and even though it is only 2 hrs. between my house & USAK the Postal un-service managed to deliver it here on the 20th

I haven't opened it only because it has to be wrapped for Christmas. I know, kinda goofy but it is what it is

Talk about a kilt jones

Will be sure to post some pics from Christmas morning

Thanks Rocky & USAK for the superb service you offer. I still say that $25 rush order charge is the best thing going

(I've already told Rocky that I'll be driving the 2hrs. to make a pick-up on my next order & will enjoy every minute of the 2hr. drive

)

It is a great thing indeed to get something ahead of time...or is it? Christmas day is still another four days of waiting!

Congratulations on the new kilt- even if you do still have to wait a few days to unwrap it.

I'm always surprised when I hear of bad service through the USPS. I ONLY ship via USPS, and apart from two instances (once where a package for Atlanta spent the weekend in Puerto Rico, the other where a package for WA vacationed in NY) I've never had ANY bad experiences with the postal service (unlike UPS

)

Popular Mechanics recently did an pretty interesting experiment showing just how rough each handler is with your boxes - HERE

VERY interesting survey! We also don't have many problems with USPS. We ship between 10 and 25 packages a day, 6 days a week and I can count on 1 hand the number of lost packages we've had in 7 years. SPEED will vary, depending on the time of year and the local post office.

USPS is consistantly 2 days from my remote town in Arizona to the east coast - either way. A wonderful surprise when I'm jonesing.

Last Saturday on the 18th when I expected the package to be here the mailman told me there were 6 pallets of parcels on the dock that morning when he picked his truck up. I'm assuming that was where the parcel was & why it didn't get here until the 20th. Anyway I'm glad it got here & can't wait to open it on Christmas morning

USPS is usually very quick when it comes to priority mail. Merry Christmas to all & pics will be a coming
