Has anyone else experienced slower delivery of ordered goods since the blackout
of a couple weeks ago? Coming back from vacation yesterday, I'd expected to see
a box o' engines. That vendor that I buy from regularly, said the blackout
could have backed-up mail handling some. That sounds plausible. Anyone else
waiting longer than usual. -- Richard "it's taking on shades of a "where's my

Nope. Ordered a FlisKits rocket at ~8PM Monday night, got confirmation the
next day, mid afternoon, and received it USPS Thursday mid-day. I guess
that makes the shipping 2 days.

However, some vendors could be backlogged???

Well, even before the black-out, if it's engines and not kits, I
waited for the USPS 14days to deliver a package of estes and 24mm AT
motors only 120 miles. Parcle post can take a long time, and is
different by distrcit and employees.

his example on the fliskits is priority mail and you can't send
engines by air.
