Naples-Great shells-so/so shipping?

Post by Guest » Wed May 03, 2006 10:17 am

I have ordered form Naples the first order took 19 days, they said it was because of Easter vacation.. Ok I say...we all take vaca's.. so now I ordered and still no delivery ..yet.
How is everyone else's experience with Naples?
BTW, I live in CT so reg mail should only take 3 days from there.

excellent- I have never had a problem - I did notice once I paid the cheaper billing and it took longer than I wanted :)

My last order took quite a while (also over Easter), but my other two have been 3-4 business days tops.

I have ordered from Naples 3 different times and each shipment got to my house within a week's time.

I only ordered once. I was disappointed b/c it took sooo long to get to me. It wasn't over a holiday or anything. I decided to call & the girl said she would call me back, but didn't. I sent an e-mail & FINALLY got a reply that my order had been shipped out. It must've taken around 2 weeks to get here. I can't really remember. As it turns out, I was missing a shell, so I sent them another e-mail. Would you believe I got that 1 shell quicker than my order. :shock:

I'm a little hesitant in ordering again. But from what I understand, everyone else has had pretty good experiences. I just thought since it was priority & I'm on the east coast that it should've gotten here quicker. :|

Aww... sorry to hear you've had issues.

I've ordered from them several times and received the shells quicker then I expected.

Hope they come soon!!

Would anybody happen to know how much naples shipping is?

The shells are pretty reasonable... I'm just afraid of shipping costs. :lol:

My order of like $5-6 was only like $6.05 shipping. It's really not that bad, and they come packaged great.

I've always had good service with Napels. I live in Washington State, about as far from Florida as you can get, and my orders have only taken 3-4 business days to reach me. I actually placed an order Monday and got them today.

Maybe when the order takes a long time they are out of stock or something? I ordered about 20 shells, and the shipping was only 8 bucks.

I placed an order on the 5th and it only took around 4 to 6 days to get (I don't remember exactly, it was shipped to my mothers house and I don't remember what day she got it. The shipping was around 6 bucks.

Well it took 11 days to get my order, the shells are all perfect, however, just so you know, to order way in advance of needing them.....

Once shipped it is not really the companies fault on how long it takes to get to you. Do you know when the packages were sent out or just when you ordered?

My order from Naples took a grand total of 4 days, and I ordered on a Sunday at that. The shells came packaged nicely and were perfect. They also included two nice little feeder shells for me for free.
