Ordering from J&L. Newbie questions.

I ship all over the country and the only time i see delays is on ground shipments. Usually on air shipments the company will lose too much money if that packaged doesnt make it on time.

Just my 2 cents

So you figure it should be okay ? I can't see too much problems occurring ... it is drygoods after all... if it gets delayed then, I guess it's a chance I'll have to take. I'll contact J&L shortly and ask for their input.

If it is drygoods only, JL's may not ship it out immediately. I've found that they usually don't ship the order until a day or two after placing my online order.

Also, if it is drygoods only, they will just use UPS ground. which most likely wouldn't get to you within a day anyhow.

Well, I guess I'll just take a chance and see what happens, if it gets delayed then so be it.. it is afterall just drygoods. Seems silly to have the option to ship overnight and then not have it shipped overnight, though. ...

I'll place the order by tonight, and we'll see what happens.

I had an order placed on Dec. 27. I was not in a hurry for the dry goods and told them to ship out when they had all the items I ordered. They shipped it out on Jan 4 and I just received the goods today at 3:00 pm UPS ground. What is so important that you need in overnight? Al

It's not the importance of what I need overnight, it's my current situation at home..... this method is what is most convinient for me , that's all. I don't own a vehicle so travelling to pick up packages doesn't work out so well for me. It can be done, but it's just not convinient for me...

Anyways, I'm off to place my order.

Hope it all works out for you.

Dude it will be fine. We're talking about drygoods, right? If nobody's home when the package is delivered they'll leave it on your doorstep (or sometimes with a neighbour).

Livestock though is different. I think they may still offer UPS to your door for that (overnighting) but typically you pick the package up at the airport (it's really better that way anyhow). But I totally wouldn't order anything live at this point until at least next week. If the package gets left out on the tarmac for any period of time it will be bad news.

But since this is drygoods, you're set.
