As of late, all my Priority packages have been taking 4 -5 days down
here in NC - I asked the P.O. today about that and, they said you must
use Priority Express.

As a shipper of hundreds (thousands?) of Elecraft carrying cases
and dust covers, I'll offer the following:
Priority Mail via the USPS is the only way to go. I've never had a
package ... either padded envelope or box ... take more than three
days to reach -anywhere- in the US.
Plus, for the shipping cost I get a delivery date and tracking number
that I provide to the customer so he/she can track the package.
I once had a package go from my MT P.O. to delivery in Turkey in
five days!
All my vendors are told of they use FedEx it will be the last order
they receive from me. I once had a packet of legal papers thrown
into a driveway puddle and left by a FedEx delivery person. Plus,
their closest office is 50+ miles away.
FWIW ...

Richard,
That delay is stated to "cover all bases" to include weekends.
There are several reasons.
First, there is simply the time to assemble your order and ship it.
Second is the time to process your order and get the paperwork from sales
to shipping.
Thirdly - yes, you order will be run through a final test before shipping.
Other delays may be possible if some part of your order is not currently
in stock, and in that event you will be notified and you will be asked
whether to ship-now, or hold until everything is available.
Shipping time is not included. Normal orders ship UPS Ground, and if you
are not in-state for California, UPS can take another 5-7 days to arrive.
If you are in a hurry, choose USPS Priority Mail and it will take 2 to 3
days.
73,

This is not a complaint, so no flaming. Yes, I'm a bit impatient, but
that's more "kid before Christmas" than annoyed custmoer.
I ordered my first Elecraft last Thursday, the KX2 Shack in a box. The
website states quite clearly orders will ship in 5-7 days (business days
iirc), so I'm wondering, as I wait less than patiently, what happens
during
those 5-7 dyas? Are the radios built to order? Are they built but go
through some testing process before shipping out? I'm figuring there must
be something going on to cause the 5-7 day delay, just wondering what it
is?
