I did pick the shipping and they shipped the way they wanted. I am not an ex employee... My wife is however a supervisor at USPS and has been for some thirty years and I have a question about the helmet I shipped back,why when I shipped to Performance form here it took four days for them to recieve my Package by USPS and it takes them 14 or15 days to get the same package to me if there not shipping third party.

Performance recently lowered their price on a new fork to match another on line competitor for me. I am a club member so I got it in two days. How can you go wrong with always getting the lowest price you can find with two day delivery?

it always baffles me when I ship something to a customer one one day and it takes 3 days and the next time I ship something it takes 15 days this happens frequently with USPS. That is why a majority of my customers opt for UPS they are trackable (USPS is not even with tracking numbers) and they actually guarantee delivery times Postal doesn't We do not use a 3rd party shipping service neither does Performance.

I became a team member last year and it is a great deal hand has easily paid for itself. Free upgrade to 2 day air and 10% off all purchases including sale items.

I have found that anything I ship myself gets to the northeast quicker using USPS over UPS. I've never shipped anything Fedex but I always pick them when I order something. But... the tracking number for USPS is on the receipt, they only update it once a day but you can track a shipment, I've even shipped overseas and used their tracking service.

If Performance doesn't use 3rd party shipping why did Donnelly shipping labels appear on the box, I'm sorry but with that I would have to say they do and the team thing is great if you have 10 or 20 orders a year but it doesn't work for 1 or 2 As for the USPS there delivery times can have a guarantee if you pay for it, just like Performance and thank MikeOK for your input on USPS shipment tracking.

Don't get me wrong,I'm not saying you can't get good deals or that they won't match prices,but look at the last three words of your statement two day delivery. Someone like myself thats not in the team thing and only orders 1 or 2 times a year and ships reg. waits forever. (15 days for a helment) I don't think thats right.
