It's in a trailer at a distribution center waiting on a rested driver. (The priority stuff all goes first)

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

Waiting on  ground package from NY to Cleveland for 2 Weeks now I assume that UPS trailers get priority unloading status

 

Have you tried tracking it?  Maybe it's on backorder.

I ordered a bicycle tire from a Birmingham AL bicycle shop  two weeks ago last Tuesday. And had the tire in my hands Friday afternoon. UPS all the way

They still need drivers, though. 

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.
