First time order from Diamond K brass earlier this month. Placed and paid for Starline 44 mag brass on the 4th, tracking number provided and "your order has shipped" same day (Sunday). Checked status mid-week and package had been shipped from supplier. Then I got busy and completely forgot about it, until last week, when I realized my brass hadn't arrived.
I check status and see this:

Say what?! Not happy, so Tuesday I fired off an email to supplier and asked them to check tracking status of my brass and explain why it went to GUAM then HAWAII and now enroute to who knows where.
Jeremiah from Diamond K called, left a message apologizing for the delay, asked I give it another couple days as current status was "in transit to destination" and to call back if I didn't get my order in the next few days and they would make it right.
Sure enough, I check status Friday morning and package is out for delivery from my local PO and did arrive that afternoon.
How a package left Phoenix, AZ for Spangle, WA ended up going to Guam and Hawaii is beyond me. Have had some other packages visit different towns all around me before finding their way to here, but never has one gone outside continental US. Just makes me shake my head.
Ironic twist is I've actually been to Barrigada Guam, spent 6mos there as a team member for installation of ILS at Anderson AFB. They didn't have billeting on base so put us up in the barracks at the off base transmitter site in Barrigada.
Kudos to Diamond K (got 3 bonus cases in my order) they get a thumbs up but USPS gets something else.
