    Every time I ever ordered from them, I was amazed at how quickly I received my order.

    Everything that I have ever ordered shipped very fast.  I can't say that I ever expected it to ship same day, but always seems like it did.  Usually made it to me the next day or a day after, using USPS.  Did you place over the internet or phone?  I would never expect an order to deliver the next day from any company, unless told that they were putting it out for shipping themselves that day.  My guess is you didn't call them, nor did you call them to resolve the dispute?  Why not try talking to them, instead of questioning their customer service to their customer base?  If you paid extra for the same day shipping, I'm sure they will work something out with you.  Going online to give a company negative feedback on their own site that you use for free???  Just curious?

    Hey Joe,

    Thank your for shopping with FishUSA!

    All orders generally ship within 24 hours from our facility. If an order comes in on Friday afternoon and standard or economy shipping is chosen, there is no guarantee that the package will ship that afternoon. The only way to ensure that the package will be shipped out that afternoon is to select an expedited method. If the package is not shipped out that day it will certainly be on the road on Monday. Our priority is to satisfy you as the customer and we do our best to meet your expectations. Please contact our customer service staff at sales@fishusa.com  and we'll take care of you.

    Thanks!

    never once had a problem.  when ordering on-line, i always see if i can have it sent usps first, then ups.  we only allow red, white and blue or brown trucks on our street.

    As far as shipping companies are concerned...FedEx is always later than UPS for me.

    I don't know if any other delivery service does this but, FedEx will get the package from the shipper, take it to the post office of the destination and have the package delivered by mail. Depending on the package size, of course. I paid $5.80 in shipping charges for an item delivered in this fashion. Out of curiosity I took the package back to the post office just to see what return shipping would cost....$3.20. Wud up wid dat?

    Fish USA has always shipped my online orders VERY quickly.
     
    I run a biz online ship 10-20 orders a day.
    USPS and UPS only Fed Ex has not gotten any of our business due to higher prices and tracking problems.
     
    BTDT-UPS also will drop packages off for USPS to ship.
    In general UPS has better prices to ship larger packages and western US- small and local USPS is cheaper.
     
    I gotta change my screen name I still have not gone fishing for steel,work has my very busy its a good thing in sum ways but these pics of big browns are driving me nuts-GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY THE FISHON!!!-WCW

    Every time I've ordered from Fish USA, it's taken 2 days, tops.

    when FishUSA was down on 12th street, I used to deliver their mail all the time.  They got their mail early in the morning but I would have to stop at the end of my day and pick up their outgoing parcels, and there were a ton of them; filled up the back of my truck. And UPS was right behind me picking up their load.  These guys ship quick.  Anything I've ever received from them was here within 2 days, alot of times the next day if I ordered early enough.  What alot of people don't know is that both Fedex and UPS pay the post office money to deliver alot of their parcels.  We call them "last mile" delivery".

    my preference has always been shipping via the beleaguered postal service.  those guys have been more competent over the decades than both ups and fedex.

    I love ordering from fishusa but their back ordered items take forever to come. Contacted them last month about some shallow divers I've been waiting 2 months for. Still waiting. I've placed and received other orders and received them while still waiting for the back ordered items. Season's over now.
