UPS has been hitting all my deliveries. Driver took a package that I needed picked up and said they're busier now than around Christmas.
Fuck that place. It took 2 whole weeks to go 90 minutes from the onion locAtion to oak park and then to my house in warren. Nobody speaks English on the phone. Nobody knew where the package was. Nobody could tell me what day it would arrive even though every day it would say on truck out for delivery and then late at night switch to “delivery pending”.
FedEx has been in possession of my iPhone since last Wednesday (shattered screen required replacement for a modest $450).
It was scheduled to be delivered last Friday evening. Signature required so I got Shanghaied staying home all day (holiday weekend) waiting for it.
It didn't arrive Friday night. Late evening delivery ETA revised to Saturday.
Umm. Okay, I guess that's life - no need to be irritated - I'm sure they're doing the best they can. It's not like I paid an extra $25 for priority service.
I waited at home all day Saturday - holiday weekend - beautiful weather .. I couldn’t leave home - couldn't grab takeaway lunch - go for a walk - nothing because at any minute a purple-capped hero would be trotting to my front door anxious to exchange my John Hancock for a repaired iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Naturally late evening I learn my phone wouldn’t be arriving (gracious of them to wait until restaurants are closed and I’m stuck eating corned chips for dinner before they revise my delivery ETA).
Ah well, these things happen - yet love is ever ready to think the best of all people. At first I thought maybe the driver ran out of gas or had a flat tire or couldn’t cover cab fare. Maybe his tux didn’t come back from the cleaners on time or an old friend from out of town came in. His truck was stolen. That’s it.. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts.. Surely not his fault.
After a continued wait I assumed the driver was abducted by aliens or was enjoying a holiday weekend barbecue with my schnazy Pro Max.
I can’t telephone them, given well, they have my phone - and their “chat” website function is unavailable (presumably website development was sourced to the same untalented twelve year old they hired to deliver my phone).
As of this moment they are threatening to delivery it tomorrow. My confidence is subdued.
What is my recourse? Do I need to file a police report for a stolen phone. A replacement is ~$1,500.
And, if you wondered, the phone was shipped from a repair centre fewer than 200 miles away.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
We'll see if this holds true..
but ordered a fan from someone in Maine on Tuesday morning, and it's allegedly left the Lake Orion facility and out for delivery. 2 days ain't bad!
FedEx is swamped and understaffed. Its not just the local Oak park facility. I have outbound packages that have been sitting in a trailer in Georgia for 4 days.
I ordered an AC condenser for my car on Monday, business shipped it on Tuesday from IL via UPS, arrived in Jackson on Wednesday, arrived at my local UPS hub on Thursday, Thursday it was transferred to the USPS for final delivery and will probably never be seen again.
FedEx came through for me!
