Buffalo Arms received a large amount of black powder a few weeks ago and I jumped at the chance to buy some since Powder Inc. was totally out of stock. They may have some now. I have never ordered powder from Buffalo Arms but I have bought a lot of other items from them for several years. Nice people. I placed my order online and it went through ok. I got a confirmation but no ship date. Finally after about 2 weeks it showed that the order was filled. Again no shipping information. I called and a very nice lady answered. She told me they are overwhelmed with orders for powder and other items. They are very understaffed because they can't find people to work. She told me she was shipping my order out that day. True to her word I got a FedEx email saying my order had left Idaho and headed to Troutdale, OR. Then I got another email that my powder had left Troutdale and was in transit and estimated delivery of Saturday Dec. 4th. A day later I get an update saying it is delayed with an exclamation mark. This got me worried because I have had problems of this type before from FedEX before. I could not get any help from FedEx as to why the shipment was held up. It was out of Buffalo Arms hands so they couldn't do anything except track it like I was doing. Tracking should no movement since Saturday. Yesterday it showed that it arrived in the Dallas area but still showed delayed. Then it showed it arrived overnight in Waco still showing a delay. Finally late this afternoon it arrived. FedEx is the worst. I know some don't like UPS but they do a good job for us unfortunately they won't handle black powder.
Well, enough said. I am happy that the powder arrived and hopefully when I need more, there won't be such a shortage.
