Man.......I bought a Hakim off of Gunbroker and used my C&R Lic. to have it shipped to me....the guy used FedEx... It was to be here on Sat.(28th)..well Sat. came and went no rifle....So I waited all day yesterday....around 5pm I called CS and they said home del. does not work on Monday....well ok then...thanks for the None info of that on your web site... Well I went out to Dinner and got home around 8pm and well there it was on the front porch....Now don't get me wrong I was happy it made it....but here is the deal...it required a Signature....So I checked the tracking today just to see what the site said and here it is.... Signed for by BILLY EATON Ship date Oct 26, 2006 Delivery date Oct 28, 2006 12:55 PM NOTE: Signed for by me....and Del. on Sat at 12:55 pm...... |
| At least you got it... I'm still hounding UPS and the shipper to try to get a package that was "delivered" on Thursday. I actually just got off the phone with the local distribution center and apparently he delivered it to 462 instead of 426. So it's looking like I may have to go and pay a personal visit. Unfortunately it probably won't go over very well as I'm not very well liked in the area where I live at. |

this happened to the account executive who I work with a co-worker of ours was shipping a piece of network equipment to my acct exec with a SIGNATURE REQUIRED. Around 8pm he is sitting around wondering where the package is at and happens to go to his front door. THERE IT IS! Just sitting on the front porch for anyone to come up and grab. The value of the unit? $58,000. The value to the demo I was doing 2 days later (thus why we needed the equipment)???? $2,500,000. |
Except I can't ship a handgun via USPS. |

I will never use fed ex again after one of my packages got stolen. It had been awhile since I had placed my order so I contacted the shipper, and he told me it had been delivered. I found the ripped open empty box BEHIND the neighbors trash can with my stuff gone. There was really no way to prove who did it, since anyone could have saw the package and taken the stuff then ditched the box on the ground behind the trash, HOWEVER I have my thoughts on who did it. That was the second time they delivered one of my packages to the wrong place, or left it out to be stolen, luckily I got the first one. USPS all the way. My regular UPS guy knows me and is pretty good, but sometimes they mess up too. Not nearly as bad as fedex. |
Wrong. I have a handgun in transit as we speak using USPS. |
I think you need to go back and READ the original post.

| I don't have a problem with him doing me a Favor, per say....but the Signature never happened and the day was last night at 8pm not Sat at 1:00pm....If the rifle was to be stolen...and I called customer Service.....They would have looked at the tracking and it would not jive with what I would be telling them....Would make it pretty hard to make a claim...He pencil whipped the order just to save face with the Company....save his butt....He could have cared less on doing me a favor |
Did the shipper ask for and pay for Saturday delivery? |
I also prefer when people do as they are directed, ie signature required, instead of second-guessing the customer who may know more about the package than the person who is hauling it around. I have a friend with MS. Her meds come in every month. She knows the day they normally arrive and stays home. She has yet to have the shipper actually knock on the door to get the signature, this case the shipper is UPS. It's $3000 dollars worth of meds that the shipper just leaves on the doorstep. But he's just trying to hook her up right? I mean what's the worst that can happen?

I hate to break this to you guys but all our parcel carriers suck. I work with the big three on a day to day basis. Every freakin one of them lie, cheat, steal and couldn't find their ass with both hands. (Representatives included) For something as simple as taking a box from point A to point B it's embarassing to say they are providing Americans with American educated service.
