UPS strike again! - 12-30-2009, 10:25 PM


ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

Another weekend ruined by UPS.

My flash ended up coming in a few days earlier than I expected, but once again, UPS has screwed me royally. Now I get to make a weekend trip to Albuququerque without a flash.

MOVED? I HAVEN'T MOVED! THERE WERE THREE CARS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY ALL DAY! WHY CAN THE POSTAL SERVICE AND FEDEX FIND MY HOUSE, BUT YOU IDIOTS IN YOUR TACKY BROWN SHORTS CAN'T FIND ME?

GRRRRR.....

Now the package is on it's way back to NYC and I have to hope that I can contact someone at BH at 8am to see if they can stop the package from being returned.

My wife and I were a little late in getting our wedding invitations ordered and sent.

We had them shipped VIA UPS. We lived on West 18th Street at the time. UPS delivered them to the same address, but on WEST LOOP instead of WEST 18th ST.

UPS claimed they had signature verification that they were delivered and we were royally effed.

Luckily, Sherlock Holmes has nothing on me, and I tracked them down and solved the Case of the Missing Invitations, but the HPD case of the missing incompetent UPS driver has yet to be solved.

If UPS and FedX merged, all we'd get is FedUp!

If you're in Dayton, how in the heck did it go to Baytown of all places?...Did they have the correct shipping address on the label?......Ben

OK, I was thinking the close spelling of the two towns may have confused them...You can borrow one of my flashes for the weekend if you need one......Ben

I'm glad I'm not the only person with mail issues... ;-)

But I took Tom's advice, and switched to using my PO box at the UPS store and so far, I've gotten ALL of my packages.... yippee!!!

Guess all those cold drinks in the summer and hot coffee in the winter has paid off for me... UPS, FedEx and even the USPS lady love to come to my door....

Cornbread,

I promise you there are flashes on store shelves in numerous places between Dayton & Albuquerque. Return the delayed unit when you get back. Call the credit card company and cancel the sale.
