I ordered a duffle bag Wednesday…
I ordered a duffle bag Wednesday morning. Included one to two day shipping, additional $52. Needed it for Saturday, big trip Sunday morning. I did receive a email Wednesday morning that item would processed. Which is great. Thursday the holiday, I don’t expect anyone to work. Got a email that label created at 1pm for UPS on Friday afternoon. UPS picked up went to Newark, Kentucky and as of Saturday afternoon it’s in Ct. It’s my fault that I didn’t ordered sooner. I hoped it would shipped out Wednesday and it didn’t. I realize there other things going on. Selection of items are great. Disappointed that additional cost for shipping was for not. Thank you

Hi Robert, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback with us. We truly appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns regarding the delivery of your duffle bag. Understanding the importance of your big trip, we realize how crucial timely delivery was for you. Unfortunately, due to an unexpected surge in orders around the 1st and 2nd of July, we were unable to process your order on the same day it was received. Also, being closed for the holiday on July 4th added to the delay. We did, however, prioritize your order upon our return on July 5th. Please understand that once packages are in the hands of UPS, we have limited control over their routing and delivery processes, though we share your frustration with the unexpected journey your package took. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and understand your disappointment regarding the additional cost for expedited shipping that did not meet your expectations. We value your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our services. If there is anything further we can assist you with, or if you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we are here to help in any way possible. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to better serve you in the future.
