Fedex lost my Fernandes 4 Deluxe !!! Sorry, Im just angry and i need to vent. It was supposed to get here on the 4th, but its the 15th and they finally admitted that they lost it! Top it off, we have to try and fit all of our band equipment into a small ass station wagon so we can get the hell out of hurricane Isabel's way. Everyones seats are gonna be moved all the way up, and its gonna be a horrible 8 hour trip. But beleive this, we are gonna rock the fk out of my drummer's relative's house! end.
Uh, i think i get my money back, its the shippers job to contact them about getting reimbursed for the package, and he seems up on it. I'd REALLY be pissed if I didnt get the tremor, or the 800 bucks back and i meant to put these in the original post:
I hate them too.A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a pair of unused Lane Poor Soapbars Pickups, which are not made anymore by the way, and very hard to find, and Fedex lost the box somewhere.Even though I got my money back, because the shipment was insured, It doesn't make it up to me.I'm sure I won't be able to find a pair like that anymore!
Through both, my experiences and those of retail mechants, UPS sucks!!! Fed Ex is much better. Any carrier can lose your stuff. UPS has a much worse track record for delivering stuff. Their rates are also more expensive. I've seen UPS drivers handle bass boxes in an unforgivable manner. They lean on the boxes, throw them, leave them on your door without even one ring of the door bell. Fex Ex has always delivered with a professional edge. Be thankful that Fed Ex exists or we'd be left with an ugly alternative.
It's not the Company that you've gotta worry about, it's the individual drivers. We had a guy turn up at out warehouse yesterday to ship out some PA systems we've sold. We've used this carrier for years but I've never seem this particular driver before. You should have seem him throw a box with a mixing desk in it from one end of the truck to the other...... I spat the dummy at him!
