Placed an order with PSI and one with Woodcraft on Saturday the 11th. Woodcraft order GOT here Tuesday. PSI just notified me that the order was SHIPPED...today, Thursday. :rolleyes:

I have been so spoiled by Amazon Prime that it's hard to order from anyone else online. Just ordered a chisel from Lie Nielsen today and it's on backorder. Are the trying to kill me? First world problems!

LOL "mail order" used to be measured in WEEKS now if we don't have a confirmation of shipping within 2 hours we get nervous. As Eric said 1st world problems.

I have purchased several things from PSI over the years. I just don't purchase things from them that I need yesterday. They have never been know for their speed.

Thats so true. I remember as a kid, ordering a radio via mail order. I waited for weeks for the big brown truck to pull up in the driveway. No email confirmation, just wait. Not so in todays standards.

We can research, and agonize, and cogitate, and wait ... for 2yrs to buy something, but ... once we click "CONFIRM ORDER," the time it takes for whatever it is to arrive ... is an eternity.

Funny, but this thread is going in a different direction than I had intended...but I don't care. My point was that the Woodcraft order actually got here two days before the PSI order was even shipped out...:confused: :rolleyes:

I don't have a largs enough statistical universe for anyone to put much stock in this, but from my limited personal experience with PSI, they are kind of like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The good occasion I had to deal with them, they were super polite and helpful. The less than good occasion they were rude, dismissive, and full of excuses. The good experience, I was working with a lady, the bad was some guy. I'm not suggesting that if a guy answers that you should immediately hang up and call back later...that what I do...but I'm not suggesting it <g>.

Companies like PSI only ship once or twice a week... the filled boxes pile up, then the truck arrives to pick it all up. I could do the same, but I found it just as easy to throw stuff in the car and drive it over to FedEx just a few miles away...

UPS picks up everyday for virtually nothing and I get a cheaper shipping rate because I have daily pickup so in reality daily pick up saves me money so I do not know why PSI would only ship a couple times per week, unless they are to short handed to actually package items everyday?

[Mike Cruz]

Do we KNOW that PSI ships on certain days, or is that just a "maybe they only ship on certain days" kinda thing...?

I was on my way to bed late one night and stopped to check my e-mail. Found a deal on a Incra miter gauge from Amazon so I placed an order. No kidding the package was on my door step when I got up the next morning. I did not have prime, just regular super saver (free) shipping. Must have been a slow order night at Amazon.

If I order from Woodcraft before 2pm I have my stuff next day. Kinda makes a trip to the local store (1/2 hr away) unnecessary.

I don't understand the UPS thing with PSI. I use to work a dock at a large retailer. The UPS truck stopped every after noon to see if we had any packages to ship out. 25% of the time we did not.
