FedEx delivery gone wrong. (long)

[Andy Hoyt]

I feel for the driver, I really do.

But inquiring minds need to know.

Did your thoughtful wife buy your Halloween gift from LV, WC, CSA, PW, or who?

Things can really happen with deliveries - and neighbors. I have good neighbors but I had a funny event with a delivery - Tirerack sent the wrong size tires via UPS, so I called and they said they would send replacements, and will have UPS pick up the wrong set - Well, they sent the replacements FedEx and sent UPS to pick up the wrong order - you got it - FedEx dropped off the new set of tires and a few hours later UPS picked them up and sent them back to Tirerack - of course, I did not know this happened until a few days later when I called Tirerack to complain about not getting the replacement tires - well, the story goes on because the correct tires were no longer in stock - but you get the idea!

Jason,

I don't know if you intended your story to be funny but it was somewhat. I ordered a miter saw fence from beyser balh...blah whatever that name is. After a few days not really thinking about it anymore my neighbor pulls up with his pick-up and unloads a real long cardboard box. WOW I better send flowers I didn't know how bad it could have been

Later, another delivery order was placed this one took weeks I called UPS they said it was shipped two weeks ago and put at the door. Well I use that door and I know it wasn't. after telling them IT'S IMPOSSIBLE I put the phone down and opened the front door WOOPS my Appoligies.

Nope, it wasn't a Halloween gift. Just some stuff she bought for either homeschooling or our homeschooling co-op.

In this case, the mistake was that the driver got the wrong house number--delivered to x09 instead of 409. We order a fair amount of stuff and have never had a real problem. Of all the houses she picked, it was definitely one of the worst. Any other household on the street could have read the label and probably would have had the package to us before the evening was out.

My guess is that they opend the package and found "learnin stuff" and had no use for it. I bet if it had been a shotgun of a chainsaw you would have never seen it again. Glad it worked out. bad neigbors are the worst!!!

My problem with all deliveries is that the subdivision we live in is about 8 huge oversized square blocks. On the south end, there is a single street that goes to about 10 houses that are separated by a creek from the front section. Where the street come into our section, the street changes names for some reason. Our house faces this street-XXXXXXXX. Our front door, mailbox and driveway, face XXXXXXXX also. Our garage is a side entry, door is on a short cul-de-sac off of XXXXXXXX called XXXX Ct. Our mailing address is on this little side street. Great for big deliveries to my shop! , but UPS for other things is a hassle. We've found packages left by the shop before (detached bldg). Only thing I can think of is the drivers think it is a separate, small!, but separate house. Luckily it's by the garage door and we can find them, so far. Jim.

Jason,
I'm glad things worked out - though I hope the driver is okay - as is your house after Halloween.

I had one item taken from our doorstep - figures for a Christmas creche scene. That was one disappointed - and maybe guilty thief!

Say there Jim O., I am surprised that you don't get all the deliveries for the neighborhood, after all X marks the spot.

[Jim O'Dell]

When I first wrote that, I had the actual street addresses without the numbers in it, and thought that that might not be a good thing to do. Each X does stand for a letter, errrr digit. Jim.

The FedEx ground folks get ripped so bad. My brother orders Grass fed Organic cheese from a guy in Wisconson that comes fed ex. His driver told him that when his truck was paid off in november he was hanging it up. They get paid by the delivery and he figured after expenses he was making like $5 an hour.

The whole fed ex ups thing is funny. Woodmizer shipa my sawmill blades UPS, But they send me FedEx shipping labesl to send them too the resharp center. Who ships them back FedEx. I'm lucky. My UPS girl Sue drops all of my stuff in the woodshop, And the FedEx girl puts everything on the porch where it can't be seen from the road.

Inerstin concep thar Tim. But I jist bet that thar's purdy true. We homeschool too and our neighbors won't have nuttin' to do with our deliveries.

Jason,
How's the FedEx Driver? Dog bites can be rather bad.
