yesterday I missed the delivery of my new amp (because the place I bought it from never sent me a tracking number)

so I figure it's ok I'll just stay home today and get it...

well after 3 calls to FedEx I found out that the driver never rescanned my amp yesterday which means it wasn't in their computers to be delivered today....that's ok things happen, then I am told that my package is not in their warehouse that it's either on the truck still (which is not a good thing at all) or between yesterday and today they may have lost it...they will call me at 7 tommorrow morning (yah right) to let me know about the where abuots of my package

:mad: :crying: :bawl: :spit: I just want my amp

ha ha ha thanks :) a full review will be available when (if) I get it...

it's just really frustrating because today was pretty much a wasted day.

I didn't leave my living room all day today.

I even missed church tonight because they promised me on the phone that it would be there before 8 and I didn't wanna have to go through this again tommorrow if I could avoid it

Personally I'm a fan of FedEx. Every large company has messups like this but when I need to ship something I prefer FedEx Ground over UPS because it's typically faster and tends to be about 30% cheaper.

yah I call it "tap and run"....

see, they hide down the street and watch you with a telescope...then when you go to the bathroom or to the kitchen to grab a drink they run up fast as they can...tap on your door (not loud enough to be audible) then take of running...

it stinks.

I actually caught a FedEx ninja trying to leave a damaged box on the porch. I had him stand there while I inspected the water damaged box's contents. I even removed the back plate to inspect for water in the bass before I wouuld accept it. Pissed him off, but hey!

My delivery men must be training as ninjas. I've got a security cam on the front porch and alarms and they still get pass me.

I manage a small delivery company and I have my drivers trained to delivery packages undetected. If a customer sees them there are required to kill them and any witnesses. Don't worry we don't delivery any musical instruments.
Just don't order any office products. :D

Agreed.

But...I'm having a weird experience with them right now. I'm expecting a bass (G&L L-2500) to be here (should be here today or tomorrow) but instead the tracker is showing this:

Tracking number
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ship date
Jul 19, 2004

Estimated delivery date
Jul 26, 2004

Service type
Ground-Domestic

Weight
101.70 lbs.


Two things - it shouldn't take a week to get from Los Angeles to Oakland (unless it's me on my bike) and I know some G&L's are known as boat anchors, but 101.7 lbs!!!

Hmm...maybe I'm getting an amp too. :rolleyes:
