Was supposed to have my new tires mounted on my rims this morning via an appt. I made with Discount Tire last weekend. They called me 30 mins before the appt. (09:30) today giving me that very tried COVID excuse. 2 tires are here but the other 2 are a state away.

I thought 10 months of this shipping delay shit they would have figure it out by now.

They don't use that excuse when they take your $$$$ the day of ORDER right! :banghead:

I ship oilfield drill bits almost daily with FedEx and at least 50% of them don’t make it on time. FedEx told me yesterday that items are getting bumped from flights so the vaccine can take priority. Yadayadayada

I don't believe that much, the vaccine shipments to each state take up about as much room as a small kitchen appliance.

I think it's because so many are overwhelmed with a society that's now ordering 80% of things vs going to stores. The logistics systems haven't caught up to demand, it can take 2-4 years for someone like fedex to put a new plane in service. It's why for 6 months now I've had ups drivers showing up in personal vehicles. They don't even have enough trucks for demand.

I will say this, over the last year or so, the number of packages arriving damaged has gone up 2 or 3x, it's been a terrible year fore with packages.

Could be bad management and logistics. I have been home all day and we have had 3 different Amazon vans bring us 3 different packages. Doesn’t seem very economical or efficient. But I can’t complain. I finally got my Bluetti that has been preparing to ship for 3 weeks.

Those Bluettis look interesting. A few RVers have reviewed them, but I am not sure how they would compare to a regular gas/propane generator.

I looked at them over a year ago as an option when we bookdock, but we want something powerful enough that the AC can kick on when we want to cool down some.

The Bluetti’s are more of a battery bank, right? Able to run 110v devices easily. Not a true generator replacement for camping?

What one did you get and what are your plans for using it?
