    Has anyone ever dealt with this guy? I ordered 100lbs of dry rock and sand a week ago and everyone ive talked to about his shipping is 1-2days. I got the tracking code and it still says intiated. I call fedex and they say he hasnt brought it in yet anyone else have a issue like this with his company?

    I also got 100 #'s of dry rock (and 80 lbs of sand!) from them. It took a week from when I ordered until it actually shipped (then another couple of days until it arrived). I wouldn't be too worried just yet. Shoot them over an email if you want, and they should get right back to you.

    FedEx and USPS have a program that works together with both companies for the cheapest rate. Not saying that is the case with what you are going through, just noting they do work together. :D

    It's called SmartPost: Low Weight Residential Shipping & Returns – FedEx SmartPost®

    Finally got ahold of him today and found out what was wrong boils down to the fedex guy that he uses is a complete moron and didnt pick up alot of his packages that was suppose to go out monday so he had to hand deliver the packages to the fedex store there. Got everything cleared up hes still a great person to go thru for dry rock just fedex is pretty ****ty at times. They love just throwing your packages on the doorstep and driving off with out knocking etc. Lol dont even get me started on that issue.

    I hate SmartPost, I think its the biggest load of BS ever invented. I had two different packages shipped to me from within 100 miles of each other, one via SmartPost and the other USPS Bulk Rate, the Bulk Rate arrived 2 days sooner. It seems that SmartPost packages often sit several days at locations where they change from FedEx to USPS.

    It takes longer, hence, cheaper.

    I also found out that when they do a smart post they have within 20 days to deliver it because they dont have to refund the price of shipping to the shipper til the 21st day which in my opinion is BS. Yeah you may get it cheaper and they say you will get it this day but if they dont feel like bringing it it can sit there til they have to bring it to avoid the refund.
