I ordered on July 6, and still no evidence it has shipped. Has anyone else had a delay?
Yes, my order with dog things and fish is coming. There was a large order I placed with more bird things for my guys- no evidence of it yet. I emailed them and got a reply, it was that they were so overwhelmed by the sale, that it's in the processing stage.

So we will wait, I may contact them again tomorrow since the one coming does not have the cat food I had ordered. :(

I placed my order on the 5th & not a peep out of them until I finally emailed on the 12th that everyone else seemed to be getting confirmations and even their packages already. That afternoon I received a shipping confirmation & later that day a reply that they'd received my email. Even though the reply was sent after, I don't think the two were unrelated. :meh: I believe if I hadn't nudged them I might still be waiting.

Good news is my order should be here tomorrow.

@faislaq The small Kong is probably a good size for Luv Bug.
Fantastic! We'll give it a shot. :dance5:Thank you so much!

Good gravy...maybe companies should start stamping "job security" on the boxes.

The second half of my second order is supposed to be here today...shipping confirmation finally on the 14th about my first order but it doesn't show in UPS at all.

Yeah, UPS isn't the greatest with their care of merchandise! :mad:
The parcel people told me the drivers don't pick them up if they are heavy, they kick and roll them with their feet.

So much of that sort of thing happening is, the package is not taped well enough. To me more than enough tape is cheap assurance to be sure it arrives without busting at the seams. That sort of thing happening partly is the fault of the business who ships the package(s). Plus some places do not pack items tight enough with packing paper so when items inside the box move about in handling, that is another cause for boxes to do that as well because the box flexes more.

Ours arrived today. :DancingChilli: One flap of the box was loose, but everything on the invoice was there! Not humid here, just cruddy or old tape, I guess. :shrug2:

Buzzard is so excited about all of his new perches & toys and has checked them all out. :yes4: Luv Bug immediately beaked every foraging toy, but is scared of the other toys & perches, so we'll have to play with those on the sofa together tonight. Harley has already found and bashed the small stainless bell, but Scott is wary of it & their new perch and kabob toy will be spending a few days on the table beside their cage before moving any closer. :scared5:

All in all, I'm very pleased and just wish I'd've ordered more shreddable toys & maybe a Vittle Vault for the dogs' food. I am most in love with my priciest piece; the XL Sweet Feet & Beaks perch for Buzzard -for only $10. That thing is massive! He has a new treat-getting (read: nail filing) perch on the side of his cage. :D

Well Fed Ex has gorillas that play soccer with them & sit on & who knows what else.

UPS has been decent with all my packages & don't have a problem where Fed Ex breaks & redesigns the contents.
Even a round vacuum came square when they were finished with it!!!

Alot depends on the way its packed but I heard Fed Ex has a 40 to 50 mph conveyer belt & anything within a few inches of sides of box is macerated.

My order had been cancelled. My email I used was not the one the credit card has, because I do not choose to receive billions of spam messages about shopping in the email I use for important things. They thought it might be fraud. I will not be ordering again. I am about done with most corporate behaviors, anyway. Besides, I ordered something from California Bird Nerds and got great stuff, quickly, and without a lot of bravo sierra in my inbox later. Looks like I should keep getting things from the vendors that hang around here.

So happy I saw the sale the other day! It's unfortunate though I wasn't able to grab the bird scale, it was only $20, was $80!
This is what I ended up getting, finally started to buy bird supplies since the breeder should be back soon. No carrier though as my little boy is going to get shipped here so he'll already have a carrier.

First Order

1) Rings Game Small - Price: $3.50

2) Super Firecracker Junior 13" L x 7" H - Price: $3.00
My order was taking too long to ship so I called and they said it was because
a couple of the items I got were discontinued and this was one of them. I found the firecracker though on
mysafebirdstore.com and that order came 2 days after I bought it! I'm still waiting on my first order from drs, bought it the 7th and it should be here Thursday.

3) Super Bird Creations Jungle Bridge Jungle Bridge - Price: $3.24

4) Super Bird Creations Sitting Pretty Bird Toy Sitting Pretty Bird Toy - Price: $1.87
Another one that was discontinued, not sure if I'll ever get refunded for these things without calling again.

5) Shred Master Large Toy - Price: $2.75

6) Treat Pinata Ultimate -Price: $2.25
Style: Donkey

7) Treat Pinata Ultimate - Price: $2.25
Style: Monkey

8) Quick Link Wide-Jaw 4-pk - Price: $0.75

SUBTOTAL: $ 19.61

If they truly are not going to be carrying the clearance items anymore, I wish I would have bought some extras of the pinatas. They're so cute.

Second Order

Another discontinued one

7) Planet Pleasures Melon Foraging Bird Toy Medium - Price: $1.99

8) Planet Pleasures Diamond Piñata Foraging Toy Medium - Price: $2.24

9) Super Bird™ Creations Tassel Tunnel Tassel Tunnel - Price: $3.24
