Whitetail Crabs Shipping 2025

[TonySoprano]

Just checking to see if anyone has received their spring 2025 trees from Whitetail Crabs or got a shipping notice with tracking ?
In the past my trees were delivered the 1 st week of April, and April 10th & 11 th. And I always got a e mail with tracking when they were shipped.
I'm not worried yet, but if I don't get a shipping notice by the end of the week , I will be.

Terry had to modify my order and said it was scheduled to ship today. Awaiting the tracking number.

No shipping notice for me. It snowed again here in Vermont, so I'm in no rush.

Mine was shipped yesterday or the day before. Should be delivered tomorrow.

My order showed up a week ago. Was hoping to have em in the ground already but had to wait. Planning to suffer the rain and plant em tomorrow.

Not directly from Whitetail. My notifications came from UPS and now that i am looking at my email, the delivery was delayed twice. 1 day delay each.

Okay Thanks. In the past the latest I ever got a order was 4/11 and that's tomorrow. If I don't get my trees or a shipping notice by next Tuesday I'll be contacting Whitetail.

UPDATE : received a E mail from Terry on Thursday morning ( I didn't notice it to late that night) . I had made a couple changes to my order after it was placed and His "notes" had him confused I guess. He wanted me to send a list of what I ordered and he'd get my trees out ASAP. As of today Saturday 4/12 he hasn't replied / acknowledged the e mail and no shipping notice. I'm hoping the trees get shipped out Monday.

In the future I'll try to order exactly what I want , and make no changes so no confusion or delays happen.
All I did was switch from a 30 06 to a Feather up (same size tree) and switched another tree to a Golden Hornet (same size tree).

I reached out yesterday about my order, since we're going to get into the 70s next week, and an hour later got my shipping confirmation. I suspect it was coincidence and appreciate everything Terry does for us.

Same here , got my shipping notice yesterday (Monday) for delivery on Wednesday .

No word on my 4 tree order so far, but I'm not worried. Slight chance of snow tonight. My trees haven't woken up yet. I'd like to topwork some trees, since I'm not busy with work yet. Looking like that may have to wait for another couple weeks at least.

 

[Stubborn1VT]

Got my tracking number this afternoon. Trees should be here Thursday.

Ditto.

Timing about right anyway. About only sign on existing trees are starting to wake up was on the chestnut crabs which are early bloomers

My Trees arrived on Thursday and I got them in the ground Friday. I ordered 3 of the small size to try , and 4 of their standard large size trees like I normally buy. This years large size that I received are smaller than in years past, and the buds appear ready to break in the next day or two ...maybe because they shipped a couple weeks later than other years. I'll post a update and photos later this year to show how their new Feather Up and Death wish trees did.

Besides those I planted some of their old standards 30-06 , Redfield & Golden Hornet.

I know this isn’t shipping related, but check out this little Death Wish popping out blossoms like a champ..pretty excited for this one moving forward, even if those pretty little flowers will all get pinched off this year…

NICE ! , I have high hopes for my Death Wish's as well. Planted 3 of them last week.

Received my order today after getting the initial shipping notice on Thursday. I always hate when they get shipped over the weekend. They inevitably sit in a warehouse or potentially hot truck for a day or two. I met the UPS delivery driver and took the box right to my hose for a drink. The roots were a tad dry, hopefully they are still okay. Two Death Wish and 2 Qing Chesnut. Will get them in the ground this weekend.
