BPS getting too hard to buy from

[ollie]

I was in the Springfield store about a month ago and couldn't find what I wanted as well. I actually got help pretty fast, but when I asked him if they had this or that he said maybe, but probably not since they were selling out of things faster than they come in the door. It has definitely gone downhill from in the past. I didn't find what I was looking either.

 I see them all as 'tourist traps' with the emphasis on decor rather than angling. I'd buy online from them sometimes but that webstite just bogs down this old desktop and stops up the country internet connection.

I would imagine they are experiencing production shortages like everyone else.

I ordered some things Weds, 2 day "Free" shipping.  Still scheduled to be here today.

But. FEDEX took it from IA, to MS.  Last scan was in MS at 12:40 this AM.  FEDEX sucks.  Not sure when it will arrive.

I hate getting things via FedEx. I'd take USPS or UPS 8 days a week.

Are ships backed up along the west coast waiting to off load really production shortages ?

Looks like it may have bit the dust in MS.  Nothing on the calendar to track and a says there may be a delay.  Good ole FEDEX.

Then they'll make you sign for a $6 order, so add another couple of days.

Are global shortages of raw materials to produce paints and plastics sitting on these boats you speak of?  Unfortunately not.  Thanks for being chippy though
