Brownells Delays

[BeerBaron]

Anyone receive an order from Brownells recently? I ordered back in March, they sent it UPS over to the post office. UPS says they dropped it at local post office April 9, USPS says they received electronic shipping info but no scans of package or any further updates since April 9. Brownells claims a large backlog, but this is starting to look like a lost package to me. Anyone order and receive a package from them in the last few weeks or experiencing similar delays?

I ordered mine on 21 March and just received it last Wed. CBSA did inspected the parcel with cost. Hopefully this helps

Haven't ordered from Brownells for a while now but I can tell you that cross border orders of mine from different sources are moving extremely slow.

My order left Brownells Apr 27th, got to Usps gateway by May 1st. Has t moved until May 23rd.

Niesjie was saying there is a huge backlog at usps hence why its taking so long for usps to induct the parcels thru

For me when ever I order something from Brownells there is no tracking. Just place the order and it should show up sometime between one month to two months.

I place a load of orders at brownells. Average time to my door is 3 weeks to a month. Not to worry.

If you out your 8017 tracking number on ups.com website on your desktop. It also provides you the alternate usps trwcking number where you can track it on both usps and canada post

Here's an extensive thread on the very subject...

Thanks! At least I'm not the only one, but at 8 weeks since I've ordered and still no scans with USPS I think I might be going for the record lol.

I've been a frequent purchaser from Brownells for a number of years. I can say in the last year or so, stuff has taken a lot longer to receive on average. Shipping with them still
seems to be a bit of a mystery though.

I ordered stuff last Nov during black Friday and it was supposed to be at my house by Xmas time. I called a few times to inquire on the status that said "shipped". Nobody
was ever able to help so it looked like they just reshipped my order (minus 1 Tshirt which was no longer in stock).

Fast forward 3 months to March 2020. I get a delivery slip on the door for Post Office pickup. My wife starts giving me the death stare about what did I order this time.
Turns out it was my original order. Wish I knew what happened to that box and why it took 4 months to show up.

Wasn't exactly a large score but ended up with 7 t-shirts from the "Clearance section" instead of the original 4 I ordered and some accu-washers.
