#Express Shipping Becomes Regular Shipping - Blue Streak Company Courier

Honestly, I originally ordered my Wooting 60 he and currently typing this on the same exact keyboard but modded of course. Sounds great, smooth lubed switches, great responsiveness. I love everything about Wooting. My girlfriend wanted the full size so I decided to buy her one too. We opted in for express shipping as I was very excited for her to try it on her own standard. It was expected for the 24th, then suddenly changed to 25 now 26. Of course we understand that there are draw backs and such hence the 1-3 days. However, its been much passed that and the idea of paying for express and not receiving what you wanted. I do not believe Wooting is at fault but its the choice of courier by the logistics company. Maybe it is a one time thing for this courier and mistakes happen. However, I wanted to note that the original courier that was used for my 60 HE, which was known as Veho was great. I was able to keep up with where my packages was and had no worries about whether I should stay home today or tomorrow waiting for my package. I am not sure the ideas or work it requires to secure a specific courier or logistics company but I think Veho was a greater choice compared to Blue Streak.

Note: I believe it is important for couriers to properly keep track so customers can see and not waste the time of their day having to stay home or go pick up the item incase no one is home. Or worse, have the package stolen.

Seems to be a common issue among these 3rd-party expedited delivery services. Experiencing the same thing from another "express" shipper called AxleHire and heard some people talking about it happening to them with a shipper called Veho. As you mentioned, Veho worked great for you but not for others, so seems to be a lot of hit or miss with these shippers.

yeah i’m experiencing the same thing with axle hire. I contacted them and they said they didn’t receive my package so idk if wooting even sent it out yet. Was supposed to receive it yesterday @reef badge

I'm thinking there has to be some middle man wooting uses that is supposed to ship it from wooting warehouse to the bay area axle hire facility, and that middle man is what is causing the delays

#

(I'm assuming you're also bay area? Everyone who has this issue is in bay area so far)

It seems to be an issue with everyone who will be receiving their package from the axlehire facility near oakland. The axlehire facility down in LA seems to be running smoothly

@solemn pecan ig i can expect the 30th then

#

LOL but we have different companies, but yea hopefully, these smaller courier companies are much slower than the big brand ones

#

which i wonder why wooting doesnt use big brand like fedex or dhl

#

I think theoretically axlehire (and smaller couriers) are supposed to be faster for like overnight last-mile delivery when it works...
when it doesn't work, well, you'll be waiting a while

#

I'm not too bothered by the wait... I'm just concerned that wooting will come back saying that axlehire should have them, but axlehire says they don't. I just hope someone knows where they are basically lol
