I've noticed that retailers such as midway and amazon are right on time. Normal individual shipping is delayed big time. UPS or USPS aren't going to take the chance on loosing business from the retailer.
Haven't had this as my experience. Multiple packages with delays from Amazon and a couple other retailers. Personally, have a rifle I shipped from Concord NH to FL on 12/8 USPS Priority Mail and has been in transit since.
