    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    I just don't think we're running on the same track here. You pay for shipping. MW has to then use that money to pay UPS to get the package there. You're not paying MW for speed. You pay the carrier. Example: 3 orders placed same day. Same items and everything. One order pays for the slow...

    Theyre basically saying my business is worth less than someone elses.

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    But you realize that the amount you pay for shipping determines how the CARRIERS handle your freight. It should have absolutely no impact on the sellers motivation to get your stuff out or boxed. All packages by them should be handled the same. The money you spend will determine how your stuff...

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    Lol hey it's ok. I do that all the time. I just feel that the amount of $$$ i spend shouldn't determine how motivated a seller is to get my stuff out. Any way you could show me to some vendors? All i know is MW and NB and i hear they're related and do the same thing.

    Agree to disagree with you as well. No hard feelings or anything.

    I also want to clarify that I'm not sitting here charging MW with like breach of contract or anything. I'm just a little annoyed with the reasons behind almost a two week wait for a product when actual in-transit time is only 3 days.

    No no I haven't gotten it yet. It just shipped yesterday.

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    Yes they assemble the kit but all the ingredients I order should require ZERO processing from MW. The LME comes pre-packaged from the manufacturer, the yeast comes in it's little packets, and basing off of my previous kit that came with my starter kit from MW, the hops is also pre-packaged in...

    Hmm I think the latest date was 6/1. So knowing that all carriers deliver on Saturdays as well, Midwest was giving themselves over a week just to get my stuff in a box. Doesn't that seem like a messed up time range to give people?

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    I mean knowing this now makes me cut them some more slack, but it's still their core policy which kinda sucks. No I still will admit I'm spoiled by recent years of shipping progress.I mean I ship aircraft parts all the time and including big bulky things like 115 pound tires, and i always...

    I guess you're just not picking up what I'm putting down. UPS states that their slowest shipping from there to here takes 3 days, and take $10 for the 8 lbs or so that it was. I paid for the shipping, assuming the processing and handling would be done in a reasonable amount of time. Your $$$$...

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    And yes I will concede that maybe I'm being unreasonable with Midwest, but it's only because other companies have "spoiled" the consumer. I'm not talking about just brewing stores. I mean these days they're working on drone deliveries, one hour deliveries, and I can use Amazon Prime Now to get...

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    Ok but that's why I'm saying process in the order received. If they are THAT backed up that an order placed on Friday wouldn't be gotten to until Tuesday or Wednesday then they need more help! I understand that they can't ship on weekends, but at least have like one guy getting caught up on...

    Let's just agree to disagree on that point?

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    Yes it did but like I said it wasn't explained why it took so long. It doesn't NEED to take as long as it does, it's just how they make it happen, and that's what i take issue with.

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    See but I consider expedited shipping 2nd day delivery or next day. If they chose to process those early in the day to get them out and do mine near the end that would still be ok with me as long as all the orders get processed that day. I just see no excuse for the 2-3 days lag time. I know...

    Midwest Supplies has terrible shipping policies.

    All i was saying was that their policy did not explain why the shipping times were so late or so long. They do it differently from the other say 95% of e-stores, which i suppose is fine, it's just that if you are different, let people know that orders aren't processed right away. Like I said i...

    Even Donate a Vehicle to Charity?

    You might also check into radio stations. I know a lot of them od used vehicle donation programs. I believe NPR is a big one that does it.
