Slow minimus.biz order. Is this typical?

What's the shipping method?

FedEx SmartPost. More like SlowPost. :)

something isn't right. Fedex ground to your post office, then your post office to you, shouldn't take anywhere near 12 days. Does the tracking number show that the package was actually picked up by Fedex and is enroute, or just that a shipping request has been received? If it doesn't show that it's been picked up by Fedex, then it still isn't en route.

Yep, it left the City of Industry (second stop) yesterday. Probably by bicycle.

Interesting. Their own shipping page shows Colorado as receiving items within 3-7 business days when using SmartPost, plus an additional 1-3 days processing time, so 3-7 business days once it leaves the warehouse.

My orders have always showed up faster than it says it will, so hopefully. OTOH, the shipping is free for over $20, so I don't complain too much about speed. Usually ;-)

So that's about right then. It wasn't picked up until Thursday afternoon, so F-M-T-W-T-F-M is 7 business days. Plus the 3 days processing time adds up to exactly what they say. I should have done my due diligence before ordering. Oh well, it's not like it's going to go to waste. I'll just have to change up my menu a bit for this trip.

Thanks Doug and Sarah. I hope I get it in time but if not, no big deal. Sarah, do you know of any stores that carry the small packet stuff? The things I really wanted were jelly packets (love PBJ wraps for lunch) and Thai chili sauce packets for Pad Thai. I'm planning to stop at a local cafe tomorrow morning on my way hiking and I'll ask if they would sell me some jelly packets. I'm sure they would give me a few but I'd rather just buy a bunch if I could. It's a small place so maybe they just buy them somewhere instead of having someone like Sysco deliver.

Btw, McDonalds at one point had Sweet Chili dipping sauce for nuggets – if you don't get yours, ask and see if they might slip you a few (I always offer to pay, and never have to). As well, sweet chili sauce carries well. It doesn't need to be chilled!

Looks like it will get here tomorrow so I'll have it in time for some last minute food preparation before the trip.

Excellent! I thought it might get there in time, but didn't want to jinx you by saying so! :-)

Nice!
