How the heck does - 12-20-2007, 03:34 PM


UPS deliver my stuff to the wrong house? Seriously they delivery to me atleast 2 times a week. My doorbell just rang and some woman drove off quickly.
I don't get it.
Thankfully I got it.
Have another package sitting in TX but says it won't be here before the 27th, I need it on the 27th. Why would it take 7 days to travel across TX?
Oh well off to play with my 135mm 2.8 :D

I think it is just this time of year. I get FedEx deliveries almost daily, usually the same driver. I checked a tracking number for an item I was expecting on Monday, and it said "unable to locate address". The next day it was delivered by a FedEx guy driving a U-haul truck. An hour later, my regular driver dropped off my order from Millers.

Crazy isn't it Chris lol.
they have been here every day this week, usually in a Budget truck lol. Same driver though so I assumed they had truck issues.
But my lense looks great and the few shots I took with it look great On Camera any way lol

I work for Budget Trucks and Ups and Fedex have such an overflow of packages this time of year that they rent the trucks to help during this busy time.

I got a package supposedly delivered and left on my front door @ 1:33 PM, according to Fedex tracking.
I came home a bit after three PM and didn't see anything.
I did put a note on the front door not to leave anything on the porch, but they left it anyway and now it's gone. My nieces and nephews aren't getting anything for Christmas.
I called them and now I'm waiting for the Fedex guy to come back...

Check with your neighbors. At least twice now I have had packages left on a next door neighbors door-step instead of mine.

That sucks Louis.
My real pisser now is, I won a lens on ebay 2 days ago before lunch. Paid within minutes. Butthead didnt' ship it until I emailed wanting to know if it had shipped. Just got notification that it shipped being that he is in VA it won't leave until tomorrow and I am not supposed to get it until Jan 2nd. Not happy with him now.

I am thinking that is what they did with mine cause the van that the woman was driving looked like one that is about 5 houses down. But she didn't say squat she rang the doorbell and ran. I guess she thought I would bite lol

Call back and ask what address they left it at. I ordered a monitor for my neighbor who is afraid to order on the web, and the FedEx goonette delivered it two blocks down the sttreet in spite of the fact that the address label had the correct address. The woman on the phone basically said oh, well, that's where she delievred it. I drove down there and it was blocking the people's front door, in plain sight.

I'm on the other end of the deliver mess up. I get a doorbell ring, and they are gone before I can get there. Then, I have to figure out where the package is supposed to go because it sure isn't addressed to me...

All is well.
They dropped it off on the wrong street, adjacent to mine - with the same number.
The owner of the house was so kind as to drove by and delivered it personally. I guess there is kindness during the holidays.
