All-New Freewing PJ50 Twin 70mm EDF Jet - Official Thread

It's not the covid itself it's lack of employees. People are still being paid to stay home. Hopefully though that changes in the coming months.

...and it is already showing as delayed. I really really hate FedEx. Consistently delayed regardless of weather.

I'm so sorry. I just saw the notification from FedEx pushing your delivery date back. I'm unsure why. Checking into it but we're likely at their mercy.

wow, I know it isn't Motion. Thanks for checking. This is the unexpected and excellent CS that keeps me coming back to motion

I mean, there is a big winter storm passing between our US warehouse and most of the rest of the country. Delays are inevitable. Just unlucky timing

Nah, it's personal. FedEx hates me

James - they don't hate you... they've actually gotten much better in the last 4 months IMO... it's the USPS that hates you, but they really suck, have always sucked, and will continue to suck... additionally on the Fedex contrary, my order was originally scheduled for Monday delivery and it's been moved up to tomorrow... 👍👍👍😎

Nothing personal to any lettercarriers i may have offended - i'm sure it's not you're fault... 🤣

USPS has been annoying, but on the date they said it would be.
FedEx on the other hand sent me out for delivery emails for 2 weeks without actually delivering anything. When I called, they assured me that it would be delivered the next day. The same person couldn't answer why that day was any different from every other day they didn't deliver it.

I also had FedEx claim they delivered something at a particular time, but the security cameras proved otherwise.

Last week I ordered 2 things at different times from same company. FedEx was shipped first and delayed twice. USPS was shipped 2 days later and both packages were delivered on the same day.

Motion also has a part from a plane in the dents and dings section where FedEx neatly punched a hole through the box.

Except for the last bit, all these events have happened in the last three months

So yeah... FedEx

I ordered three things, three independent orders off ebay that were sent USPS, all supposed to be delivered the end of last week or over last weekend, neither showed movement. I notified two sellers that I never got their items, one refunded my money (ordered the same item Amazon next day and already have it), one hasn't. The third was a high dollar item that showed it made it to Charlotte Monday and then nothing but "delayed'.

Seems to be about average for USPS lately.

[jasmith41]

guess i'm just having better luck with them...

The biggest problem I've faced with the postal service here in Canada is that once the big box arrives at the port of entry, it gets sent to the WRONG city. It takes several days for it to get scanned and re-directed back to me. They need to clean their bar code scanners more frequently.

[JamesonC]

Shipping companies are like a ton of things these days, prices continue to go up while service continues to go down!

But, thankful that my PJ50 is still showing on time and should be delivered tomorrow!

[ColtPilot]

Yup got it. Can't wait to get started. Lots of added work to.

Mine still showing delivery by end of day tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed. Saturday should be a fair day for a maiden, if I can get 'er done by then. Probably wishful thinking.

The basic unpacking out of the box to finished assembly is less than an hr. To install all your "stuff" (RX, chokes, etc) and to set up the throws and any gyro you might put in, maybe another hr. or less. Then it's ready to fly. If you're going to do a couple of other things like what I did (coupling the light connectors to make one connector), a little longer. If you're going to Minwax it as I did, that's another story. If all you're doing is to get it ready for the maiden, it's possible. You can always do the rest later. It all depends on how "fiddly" you want to be.

Mine is out for delivery.... Made it through the mid-west snow storm.... We'll see if I get the notice I've been getting with previous shipments... delay in shipping then takes 3-4 more days before they actually make the shipment...

[jasmith41]

PJ50 - in the house...!!! (actually, at the office and i already left for the day dammit...)
Thanks MRC...

[avanti127]

Here we go again. Sorry we were unable to deliver your package to the address provided. Delivery exception!

Been home all day. Filed a complaint about my driver! He drove by my place 3 times and never stopped! I am so over all this.

I am going to pick it up myself tomorrow morning.

[Tom]

avanti127, I sent an email to our FedEx rep about your FedEx driver issues. Our FedEx reps name is David and I passed along your contact information to him (I hope you don't mind). You are a great customer and I'd like to get this solved so it stops happening. Thank you for all your business!
