0 Nathan Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I find that the order shipping estimate is never right, and it comes a few days early. jermonger69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi Jerry, I do apologize but we're very backed up with orders from the sale. During sale promotions it can take us 2-3 days to process all orders. With the FedEx SmartPost option, this is usually the most affordable shipping option, but it's also the slowest shipping option. It can take 4-9 business days for SmartPost orders, since FedEx hands off the delivery to the local postal service for final delivery by USPS, which usually adds 2 extra days to the delivery time. If you ever need an order by a specific date, it's always best to give us a call at 866-965-0400 so we can make sure we get it to you on time. FedEx 2-Day shipments are a guaranteed 2 day delivery time if placed during the morning hours of Monday through Wednesday - orders placed on Thursday with the FedEx priority 2-Day shipping option would be delivered Monday, and Friday orders would be delivered on Tuesday. FedEx overnight would get the order to you the next day except if they are placed on Friday morning, in which case you would receive it on Monday. USPS Priority 2-Day is not a guaranteed 2-day delivery in my experience, and I have seen packages take 3 days to make it to the customer. Unfortunately we have no control over this once it has left our facility. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

0 Dan@Adams Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I find that the order shipping estimate is never right, and it comes a few days early. The initial shipping estimate from our website can be over-estimated. Until you receive the actual tracking number link from FedEx or USPS, those dates are usually pretty accurate jessewsmith and jermonger69 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 funkymonkey1111 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I drove over to Adam's today--shopped the showroom, checked out a truck they were working on, put my stuff in an Adam's supplied box, and drove it home jakerodz7, Mariner, jermonger69 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 duke4165 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I would say, even though its a few years old, check out Adam's "Shipping" video on youtube.The reason their shipping is sometimes slow is because they are a small company. Putting good people to work and they can only do so much. I have no problem waiting knowing that everything they do is putting American people and jobs to work, everything from their product development, to the cardboard boxes they come in. Alot of times theyre actually just waiting on the Fedex guy jermonger69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 funkymonkey1111 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Well, I will say this--when i was there today, the phone was ringing off the hook, there was another customer there, and the folks in the warehouse were really humping it getting orders filled. jermonger69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LFairbanks Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) When it comes FedEx mail, it always takes longer. Blame the postal service. It's not called snail mail for nothing! I have really only had items come FedEx Smartpost thru Adams. I thought people on here were crazy about how long it took to get stuff. It isn't the post office, it is FedEx and how they handle the stuff before they pass it to the post office. It really should only add (1) day to the delivery time, not multiple. Your package should make it to the local FedEx facility and then be passed to your local post office for delivery the following day. I have ordered multiple items that have come UPS Surepost (Amazon) and they are always (1) or sometimes if I have another package coming regular UPS it is delivered that day too, along with my regular package. Or if the neighbor is getting a delivery, I will get my surepost package. Edited March 9, 2017 by LFairbanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hostileshelby Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have never had any issue with getting the product, every time i have ordered, its come within 5 days. And im all the way up here in the north (NH). Guess we have nothing better to do in the winter than ship mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SYMAWD Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I don't get how Smart Post adds so much time for everyone. Once USPS got my package from FedEx, they had it at my door less than 6 hours later. Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once USPS got my package from FedEx, they had it at my door less than 6 hours later. Different parts and areas of the country seem to handle the transition better than other areas. Usually it is 1 day, but I've seen it take up to 3 business days in some instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mariner Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It matters where the handoff and the origination city is too. For example, FedEx deploys in Davenport for me which is east of where I live by about a half hour. USPS final origination is Tampa, 45 minutes west of me. FedEx performs the handoff in Orlando, 1 hour east of me, then USPS literally takes it STRAIGHT THROUGH my city, all the way to Tampa, then send it back to Lakeland, where my local post office will deliver. It's madness. With all that craziness, usually smartpost is 1-2 days extra, depending on the day of the week it falls on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
