I always ask for Spee dee first !!! Their 3 to 4 days faster then ups and fed x. And cheaper !!!

Since i'm in southern illinois, I live on the extreme south edge of their area. I'm 30 miles from the nearest facilty. The drivers are very friendly and caring. The last tractor parts I got from Iowa , according to their tracking, was in the final delivery truck for 3 days. I figure until he got something else coming my way. I understand they cant drive all over the country with a $15 delivery fee.
Most times I dont care how long it takes but the last time I needed the part to get going again. The shipper is the one I hold at fault. Since then if its something I need fast I tell the shipper not to send it by them and I will pay extra for someone else.

Fedex smartpost and UPS surepost always take an extra day or two to handoff to the USPS. If its a bigger item or if they have something else coming out my way then they bring it instead of handing it off. Again I understand they they cant make their fuel cost to go way out in the country for a small item. Its something I just live with.

This might be a prayer for some " Lord send me patience and send it now ''

No it not Murphy but start with m

I've not had a problem, but nothing of mine has ever been time sensitive with them. USPS is garbage lately. Took 8 days to get a package from Iowa because they sent it back to Iowa twice from Illinois, before finally delivering it. UPS out here is terrible with drivers-- they either deliver wrong or don't bother to do it right. Last time they left my tools on the front step, in retail packaging. That didn't go over well with the wife.

I noticed that my click and ship now adds "leave if nobody's home" you want to bet the insurance will not cover that now! LOL

I've noticed the same thing on my click-n-ship labels. Perfect opportunity for "porch pirates". Will be interesting if I ever have to file a claim.

Definitely done spee dee delivery , spent cpl hours on hold talking different ppl with different stories, 1 say they talk driver an coming , another I call about asking about charge on card an ssy they still try get ahold driver, now the manager say that the driver lost the tags or all paperwork, an do I wznt to try ship tomma? Now supposed to be waiting for call from someone to find out if the driver coming today story is true, no call yet an i have leave for work an they close at 5 an not sure if to leave out for tomma or what, this is bs, I never go though them for a thing ever again, never a 1 problem with USPS, fed ex or UPS , sore dee delivery very unprofessional , rink dink, I would never ship fur or anything important after that with them

Way to stand your ground Dave. If you're not happy with them, just don't ever use them again. You'll have to pay more with UPS, USPS and FedX but I'm sure you'll be very happy when dealing with them.

I've shipped a bunch of fur through spee dee, never had one problem. I know most if not all the big trap supply dealers in MN will use them if they can. They are not a little bit cheaper, they are a lot cheaper and almost always quicker.

Think about that Dave.

We live in a fairly remote area. The nearest gas station is 24 miles away the nearest grocery store is 45 miles away and the nearest Wal-Mart is two and a half hours away. I ordered supplies from minntrap (great company) a couple of years ago and they shipped it via speedee. I kept waiting and waiting finally a delivery driver called me and said if I wanted my package I would have to drive an hour north to a town he would be in other wise I would have to wait until they had another delivery in my area. Since I had already waited over a week for a package from one state away I drove the two hours round trip to get it. I now request that my packages are not shipped with speedee. This new company DHL is murder on us rural folk also.

Tomma? Does this mean tomorrow?

He's speaking that Iowa creole.

Generally speaking I've found tongue lashings aren't the most effective when dealing with customer service people. Once someone loses their cool they lose all respect and seriousness for you. If you can speak to them in a professional, respectful but very firm business like manner you will usually get farther and meet your needs.

Yeah, its unfortunate that if SpeeDee is going to have deep rural places such as much of West River SD on their service map, that they don't have some other arrangements with people who go through those communities more often then they do. When there used to be regional bus lines, they would leave packages at drop off points in nearby towns and people could then pick them up when they came through. Maybe that's a community thing that could be brought up and worked with SpeeDee on. If there was a way they could make such occasional ways out there stops more porfitable and the folks living in those parts better service, maybe a win-win for everybody.

They are an absolutely no frills CHEAP way to ship in their region. The first time I shipped with them, I arrived a winter's evening (they are open 7-9 am and 5-7 pm for taking "walk-in" packages), I had to chase down a driver after about 5 minutes waiting for someone to show up in their front room and then donated a couple bucks to their "coffee fund" because I didn't have exact cash (they had no way to make change) and I didn't have a check book. BUT even with dropping another two bucks ontop of their charge, they were a THIRD the cost that I had figured for FedEx-- I was shipping an old 1950s bike frame to someone in down state Illinois. To me, their no frills was worth their "hassle". As I said earlier, I shipped about half a dozen smaller boxes (30-40 pounds) of e-waste to a place in WI at HALF the cost per pound than shipping FedEx to ne OH. Granted, e. WI is a lot closer to me than Cleveland but still HALF the cost. I'll take their quirks for that increase in cash flow.

No. No he is not. I almost thought he was from the south for a minute. (no offense to my southern friends) LLL

My package always gets delivered, but they need to work on their tracking. Tracking is on their web site, but when you put in your tracking number, it says cannot be found.

Ordered 4 beaver traps an gauntlets an skin gloves from Cumberland last week, didnt get yet an call today, say that shipped yesterday an something about has wait to get gloves, I wsnt cold creek gauntlets, an can't get them an had bemacs there they say when call ? Or out skin gloves? But spee dee delivery is who ship with , be interesting to see if show tomma, if not by end day Friday, I well be not to happy, the few times I went though spee dee. Trouble every time

Is there anything in your life not a train wreck, starting to think there’s a pattern.
