I get 2-3 orders a month from them, it seems that only the important ones
get there in a round about way. I don't want to waste money on faster
service if I don't think I have to, 14 days for a package? I've received
eBay stuff in 2 days from CA to me in VA.

What's important is when it was shipped, if it was 14 days and BPS
shipped it 11 days after you ordered, it's BPS's problem. If they
shipped it the next day after ordering then it the vagaries of the
USPS or UPS that's to blame. You can tell which it is by checking the
tracking info. (usually)

One thing I have noticed is BPS has been charging Fed-Ex or UPS rates for
everything and sending small stuff USPS which costs a lot less.

I noticed that in my last order, but they used regular Parcel Post
rather than the Priority Mail, it woulkd have cost them 50 cents more
and cut the travel time in half.


In teh mean time I'll buy locally or through www.Tacklewarehouse.com
