Hello has anyone heard of any delays with arcadeshop.com due too hurricane i haven't heard from them in 3 weeks.
 
I got an order in from them about a week after Helene. Might have been delayed a day or two in delivery but that was the post office being slow.
 
They are having shipping issues due to USPS and how they route it. I have had some trouble too out of Atlanta, stuff can sit for days and days at the Palmetto location.

Dude, I'm like 30 minutes from him and all my stuff goes through Jacksonville, it's silly.

I rarely use USPS. Maybe 4 years ago they lost 108 packages in one month! People thought my business was now like TOG when orders never showed up. People started filing claims with PayPal. And usps wouldn't let me file a claim until (if I recall) 22 days. Rather than go through that I shipped replacements. Eventually some packages showed up and the dishonest customers refused to ship back. Even though I offered return labels.

So I only use USPS when I actually have to. UPS has real tracking and quick service. More than 75% of my packages arrive in 2-3 days. I can count on one hand in almost 25 years in business how many packages UPS lost.

Steven used to use UPS years ago. Not sure why he stopped.

YMMV

Problem with UPS is their pricing has sky rocketed lately. The cost to ship for a regular dude is outrageous.

I ordered from them last week and is was shipped in a couple of hours. It only took about three days for me to receive my order.
 
Try Pirate Ship (and that suggestion certainly applies to vendors as well as individuals).
THIS ^

I really do love the vendors in this hobby but I wish they would attempt using Pirate Ship instead of an arbitrary flat rate.

I don't even want to know what I've spent in shipping cost in this hobby over the years but I bet Pirate ship would have saved me enough money to buy a complete game. lol
