I'm trying to get some individually sleeved cables and I found some that I like. They're the Cablemod red/black ones plus they come with the little clear combs. Here is my dilemma though.
 
I emailed them on 8/9/15 asking them for an ETA as performance-pcs was out of stock and they're the only listed NA dealer. I received an email back saying that they'd be getting stock within the next two weeks. I then replied back asking if I could purchase directly from them. The guy replied back they respect their channel partner and they offer great service.
 
Now fast forward to 8/20/15. I emailed the guy again saying it's coming on two weeks and I'd like to purchase them so I wanted to get an update. The guy tells me that they should have the stock by Friday or Monday.
 
Now it's 8/24/15 and they still don't have the damn cables. It's actually quite annoying that you're dealing directly with the distributor and they tell you the dates and clearly either they're just pushing them back or I don't know. Maybe he doesn't actually have a clue about it.
 
So I sent an email telling him that they clearly need to do something or add another NA dealer. Because at this rate I'm going to write off Cablemod and I'll never deal with them or performance-pcs ever again. This is my first experience and it will be the last if somebody doesn't get their answers correct. Both sources said Friday/Monday and both were clearly wrong. It's just annoying.

    They probably sent the shipment through the USPS (Post Office) and is sitting at a station because it's not an Amazon package, so it gets last priority. The Post Office has been atrocious here lately since they got a bigger peace of the Amazon pie. I won't ship anything through them right now.

    Hmm, I've never had a problem with USPS, but I doubt it's them, not for a whole shipment. It's likely UPS or FedEx.

    Post Office is absolutely horrible right now. I even had a chat with my local mail deliver gal about it and she agreed 100% with me.
     
    Example 1: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=9400109699938691761467 <--- El Paso is where it should be delivered.
     
    Example 2: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input?qtc_tLabels1=9400109699937726206386<--- Shipped on July 6th and deliver July 14th?
     
    Example 3: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?qtc_tLabels1=92748901015477100009567390<--- This package was never found to date.
     
    Example 4: https://tools.usps.com/go...9400109699937784591998 <--- Sat in FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72701 for 4 days before it got delivered.
     
    Example 5: https://tools.usps.com/go...9400109699939131548044 <--- Forth Worth TX is a 2 day delivery time on the norm to my address and when I ship to TX.
     
    If it's not a Amazon package, it gets the back seat on delivery promptness.

    They should just put this as the expected delivery date.

    I've got all kinds of stuff I am waiting for. Tracking numbers not going through, stuff that is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday and then it's Friday but the tracking says "On time. scheduled for delivery on at the end of the day on Wednesday"
    What ticks me off is I have a build coming for me but I ordered just the cpu cooler from Amazon on the 19th. As of this morning it is still "being prepared for shipment" ..... How long does it take to box up and ship a little cpu cooler?!?!?!?!
     
    I should have paid a little more and bought it from Newegg. I have ordered stuff on Newegg on Sunday night and did the free eggsaver whatever shipping and ended up getting it at 1pm the next day on Monday... That is fast.

    Unless Amazon is the only place in the US that has what I need, I do not buy from them.
     
    The Post Office may be cheaper then UPS or FedEx, but they have become very unreliable.
