Time is always of the essence
Time is always of the essence, as is price. I was drawn to this web-vendor because of the 2-5 delivery (5 is long time for me, but I was hoping for something closer to 2-3) and reasonable pricing (not the best, but decent, given 2-5 day shipping). I ordered on the 12th and the package was delivered to UPS, after the close of business/shipping hours. That means it has not been "accepted" by UPS, so it will sit there until Monday the 17th. At that point, it will begin it's 2-5 day "promise." 5 days from that is the 21st. Sooo, 3-9 days is the actual time to receipt, NOT 2-5. If you search their shipping policy, they do mention 24-72 hours processing (picking up less than a pound of product and putting it in a box for UPS to pick up). Nevertheless, advertising 2-5 day shipping and leaving out the handling (unless you specifically search for it) is DECEPTIVE. It is not a lie, but it is deliberately deceptive. 24-72 hour handling is a LIE (or at least has been made so, in this circumstance). Waiting 2 days to send and then doing so after business hours, means that UPS is not yet the responsible party for my package (they have not accepted the package, so it is not yet 'theirs'). That makes the handling 5 days, not 2. I will not say I will never patronize this store, again; after all, it is not a question of whether or not a business is being deceptive, it is a matter of what they are being deceptive about. Nevertheless, I will continue looking into which businesses I can trust to get me product at a good price and prompt delivery. If I can find any vendor that can get me the products I need faster (and with more professionalism/integrity), even if a bit more expensively, they will be my choice.
