Ordered Nov 7... Still waiting.....This is the first time since I have first ordered to wait almost 2 weeks. Maybe next time I'll think about insurance.
HI Ck1 ~ I don't know where you live but if your pkg. is being sent USPS, I've read about so many w/in our DBG family and others with orders sent via USPS with major delays, confusion, problems, et al and after all was said & done, IMHO, it hasn't been the vendors but USPS that was the major problem.
I can vouch for this myself w/ 2 orders, not from this vendor, but one I've used at least 1 x a mo. for many, many yrs. w/ everything working like a well oiled machine until recently. My last two orders w/ them via USPS priority have been so messed up, lost, sent to many various, odd places nowhere near where they needed to be /default_wacko.png
The last order I placed w/ them was sent out Nov. 5th via USPS Priority, I'm still waiting ~~~ Going thru the tracking history so far, this parcel has literally traveled thru countless states, even got a li'l vaca on Oahu (which was as close as it ever came to arriving at correct location) but did a 180, going back toward where it initially came from & onwards the wrong way! Aaaarrggghhh ~ /default_angry.png
1, in particular, USPS took over 6 days to get this parcel from 1 city to another which I could have driven to in 1-2 hrs. This from a vendor who after many years had never once taken more than a max. 4 - 5 days ~ usually 2-3. I did contact the vendor, USPS & P.O. Vendor couldn't do a thing, USPS began a search for the parcel via tracking # & gave me a case # for it……so far, nothing.
I'll be putting in an order to TTM as soon as I save up the $$$ I lost on 1 of the orders that went MIA & planned on getting ins. due to the above mentioned issues.
Again, just my humble opinion, but given the amount of budget cuts, layoffs, mergers, etc. w/in our almost defunct, far too under-staffed postal system, whenever there's any other way of getting our products to us, I'd take it along w/ the insurance when offered.
TTM has a stellar record & far, far more awesome reviews than not.
Take long, deep breathes, sending you positive, relaxing energies & warm tropical breezes with the scent of fresh of plumeria /default_smile.png
Aloha ~~~ /default_cool.png

P.S. FYI: I signed up for TTM's but didn't order in time. I emailed them in order to register again, as well as, a couple times with questions re. the products I need. Each time, I received a prompt, very thorough & kind response. Just a thought.
