Are shipping times accurate?

[Bear and Dart]

Our chicks shipped out from MyPetChicken yesterday at around 4:40, or at least that’s when we got our email. It says they should arrive by 3:00 on Wednesday. In your experience are these dates accurate?

My initial tracking was spot on. Just keep an eye on the tracking. The wrong phone number was attached to my order, and luckily I called because the post office couldn't get ahold of me.

ALWAYS visit, or at least call, your post office before the chicks might arrive, and let them know how concerned you are, make sure they have all your phone numbers, and want to be called immediately when they arrive. Then be ready to leap out of bed at 6am, or whenever they call, to pick up your babies. I'd have that brooder set up and running right now, so it's at the right temperatures, everything works, and their water is not cold out of the tap.
I've had them come in 24 hours, and 72 hours, from the same place, shipped the same day of the week, this year.

Thank you, we’ve called them, do you think they’ll come in the morning instead of the predicted 3:00 pm tomorrow?

Nobody knows! And sooner is always better than later, just be prepared early, so you aren't scrambling at the last minute.
My 24 hour arrivals were all great, and that's the first time any have come that soon. The chicks at 72 hours did well, considering. two died that day, and the remaining sixteen did fine. Three days is long, I was getting really concerned!
Let us know how they are...

I’ll update you tomorrow

Also, three times (including that 24 hour shipment!) the chicks arrived elsewhere, and that post office called me, so I drove a bit further to pick them up.

Thank you! I’ll be prepared and I forgot to say I set everything up in the brooder when we got the email yesterday so I can make sure I’m ready. I’m hoping everything goes well.

No they're usually not accurate or at least not this year.
I got an email yesterday at noon and the only thing on tracking was from a bit before 2. As of now its still saying theyre waiting for acceptance.
I got chicks a couple months ago and it was the same thing. Chicks arrived early morning day 2 and tracking hadn't showed anything since the first update.
Ive ordered a few non chick things and expected delivery date was several days past when I actually recieved the items.
Shipping and tracking are all screwed up right now but for myself and others I personally know chicks are running through the system same as always and arriving in good shape.
