I placed an order with AC last month - it arrived five days later (via UPS - it included rocket motors forcing Hazmat), one day ahead of schedule.
A couple years ago I placed a large order with AC - when it arrived it was missing one of the kits I'd ordered and included one I hadn't (presumably someone simply 'miss-picked' when filling it).
Anyway, I contacted them - replacement for the missing kit went out right away and the told me to simply keep the extra kit.
As it was a rocket kit I wasn't interested in, I donated it to the local club.

I’ve always had fast delivery with AC Supply—two or three days. But then, it’s not terribly far from me either.

My AC Supply order before this one was delivered in less than 5 days. This one isn't their fault and I hope I haven't portrayed it as such. I ordered March 27th and they had it to the post office March 29th. The PO is the one that screwed this delivery up.

My last order with them was for like 15 paks of C5-3s, 5paks of C11s, 5paks of D12s, and a couple paks of A8-0s. It took over 3 weeks USPS which flat out sucked.

Good Grief !
Shipped via RICKSHAW would take less time.
Inexcusable.

Only 3 days in the black hole...there is still hope. If it's there more than a week you might get it, but it will probably look like it was thrown in a giant rock tumbler for a couple hours.

The Latest thing with the USPS workers ( Remove insert warm body's), is to push for as much
Federal Covid time off as possible. So like everyone else they don't want to work just sit around and live of the dole.

I was off for ten days and it almost drove me nuts.

Having time off definitely does NOT drive me nuts. I savor and relish it.
Will be off for a ten day vacation in Playa Mujeres in less than a week.
Lots of seafood, steak, scotch, rum, and tequila private Pool/Oceanside.
