TimJC Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 I am looking to order a bedchair (and maybe some end tackle) from ACS, and I am wondering how long it would take to get to me in Cincinnati, OH. If I were to order on monday would I have this before thursday? The reason is that I intend to leave for the Northwest Ohio CAG outing a day early (thursday, April 8th) due to the three hour drive. I need to be comfy and well rested for this fish-in
LONESTAR Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 I know that sean and wayne where at townlake until yesterday as soon as they get back I am sure they could give you a anwser putting on the salesman hat..... I have the cheaper of the 2 bedchairs they offer and it rocks!!
Paul Pezalla Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 If you go to www.ups.com and hit the "time & cost" link, you can get transit times for the various classes of shipping. You will need the ACS zip code as well as your own. That is only half the answer, of course. You also need to know when they will ship it and only ACS can answer that.
John Bramley Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Shame about the bedchair, you get a much better sleep on a non rocking version Couldn't resist
TimJC Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Posted April 2, 2005 You also need to know when they will ship it and only ACS can answer that. That's the real question I'm worried about.
(DC) Mark Metzger Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 allso how they ship if i can remember my charts ohio is 4 days from cali (ground) itll probably have to go 3 day or 2nd day to guarantee thurs if it goes out monday. and to get it early thursday itll definately have to go one of the expited ways so you have it wednesday.
Guest The Kernel Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Don't hold yer breath for the free baiting needles offer....Three months and waiting.
Guest Sean Manning Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Dear all, If you have any questions regarding ACS or shipping please send us an e-mail to info@americancarpsociety.com and we'll do our best to answer questions for you as soon as possible In regards to all members who have free baiting needle certificates, we do try to remember to send them all in the first order going out, and most members are kind enough to remind us on that initial order ( we are getting pretty swamped with many things as you can imagine) ....for those that didn't get them the first time just drop us a line or give us a call and we can get them to you straight away....sorry for any inconvenience and our appologies. Regards Sean PS The ACS message board is also a place that members may want to consider posting questions to us or even picking up the phone and calling us so that we may have the opportunity to address any concerns or oversights that we may have overlooked. The crystal balls getting pretty cloudy these days....
Shawn Woerlein Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Man....2nd day shipping on a bedchair. OUCH When I ordered mine from ACS, it arrived rather quickly. Biggest key is shipping factor. Typically great service from them though.......wouldn't be afraid to order anything from them.
carphead Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 or even picking up the phone and calling us so that we may have the opportunity to address any concerns or oversights that we may have overlooked. The crystal balls getting pretty cloudy these days.... Well Sean, I called you on the 800 number on Tuesday regarding having problems trying to order something from ACS online and I have not yet heard from anyone at ACS. Yes I did leave my number on the message.
Guest Sean Manning Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Ed, As mentioned in the last newsletter that was sent, we have been in Texas and have just arrrived back.... Appologies again for the delayed response Sean
IndianaCarper Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 I've always found the ACS guys to be real helpful and responsive.
bcapien Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 shipping to Akron Ohio took me 5 days when the ACS shipped my stuff out....so i would think the same for you...2nd day would cost you a pretty penny...ACS gets the stuff shipped out very fast ...Good people

Big Carphuna Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 I have the same model.......................The best thing I have bought for Carp fishing to date!!!Well comfy!! Karl Yep, it held both Karl and I....strong too.
TimJC Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Posted April 2, 2005 Thanks everyone. Looks like I'll just wait until after the event to get a bedchair. I'll just resort to using my cot again.

I have the same model.......................The best thing I have bought for Carp fishing to date!!! Well comfy!! Karl Good job because all you do is sleep anyhow On a more serious note, I have said bedchair and I also think it rocks! Set it up on very uneven ground and got a nice kip on it. I also got my baiting needle.....nice bit of kit that! R
ukcarperinusa Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Good job because all you do is sleep anyhow Ricky Please refresh my memory............................ How many carp have you caught this year? ................Or last year for that matter!! How many of those have been 30lb fish? He who laughs first................. Karl
Guest NJ Rob Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 For the record .. UPS GROUND - 5 business days tops. 3 DAY SELECT - 3 Business days tops 2 DAY - obvious Priority Overnight - duh!!! Next time plan ahead .. It'll literally save you tons!!! Like Shawn orated, ANY service other than ground on abedchair will KILL you no matter who or where you get it from. For the record UPS will take the full 5 days going coast to coast as in CA to NJ. But Ive sent items to pals in NY, NJ and they get em the next day w/ ground service .. Rest up and start blowing up that air mattress!!

Karl Aside from Austin, which I didn't go to. I've out fished you every single time this year. R
ukcarperinusa Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Ricky It's all relative me old mate, I would sooner sit for a few hours fishless then catch a 30lb'er than sit there catching those tiddlers!!! I'm sure when you get one you will agree with me mate!! Must be the teacher mate! Karl
RichB Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 No, that didn't work Karl, I'm a much better fisherman than you now. R
ukcarperinusa Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 No, that didn't work Karl, I'm a much better fisherman than you now.R What can I say Grasshopper????? It is now time for you to leave!! My work is obviously complete! Karl P.S. Check out your PB's to bring you back down to earth!!
RichB Posted April 3, 2005 Report Posted April 3, 2005 Karl, I've come as far as anyone with no talent could in carp fishing. Therefore I've given up carp fishing, knowing that I am the worlds best, and have taken up duck hunting instead. I will now be found shooting at my old alarms.. R PS. PM me, you never told me how you got on after I phoned you.
