Days-In-Transit Map
|
 |
The map above shows days-in-transit via UPS Ground, for items shipped directly from Pleasant Hill Grain at Hampton, Nebraska. Please read the following important notes.
- UPS's "day count" begins the day after the package is shipped out from our Nebraska facility. Examples: The map above shows that a package shipped by ground service with UPS and leaving our facility on a Monday, will arrive in South Carolina or Washington State or Pennsylvania on Thursday, barring unusual problems. Most orders received by noon Central Time ship out either that day or the following business day. The UPS day-count begins the following day.
SPECIAL NOTE: UPS delivers ground-shipped packages to business addresses Monday-Saturday, and they deliver to residential addresses every day of the week. (Note that delivery to a residence where a home-business is conducted, is classified by carriers as a residential delivery.) Also, note that for either residential or business delivery, the days that count toward transit time are the same days of the week on which deliveries are made for that service. So, for shipments to business addresses, Sundays do not count as a transit day.
Christmastime note: UPS does make deliveries on Christmas Eve day. UPS does not make deliveries on Christmas Day itself. Below is a list of holiday on which UPS pick-up and delivery service is not available:
New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day
MLK Day
Easter
Mother’s Day
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Eve (delivery is available, pick-up is not available)
Christmas Day - Most orders placed online are shipped via UPS Ground shipping, except that some small items are shipped by US Mail. To pay for faster premium shipping service OR to request shipment by U.S. Mail, call 866-467-6123 to order (see phone hours).
- Pleasant Hill Grain stocks over 97% of what we sell, but a few products, (primarily large commercial products) are shipped directly from manufacturers' facilities. Call or e-mail for transit times for commercial products. Manufacturers may use shipping services different from those used by Pleasant Hill Grain for stocked items.
- This transit-time map does not apply to items shipped by truck freight.
- Pleasant Hill Grain, by default, does not require a signature for packages delivered by UPS Ground service. If you want a signature to be required for delivery, the "Comments" field in the shopping cart is the place to request that.
- The delivery days quoted in the table above are exclusively the commitment of UPS. On rare occasion a shipment can be delayed by a day or more, and after the shipment has left our premises, Pleasant Hill Grain cannot physically control it; however, UPS has proven to meet their delivery schedule very reliably and consistently. For orders that ship by UPS, a tracking number will be e-mailed directly from UPS to you the evening of the day the item ships out.
