Fed Ex Ground Shipping Hahaha

[Parley]

I ordered a hat on August 21 from a store in San Diego, California. It was shipped by Fed Ex Ground on August 22. I live maybe 110 miles North of San Diego in Orange County, California, the next County North of San Diego County. Anyways the hat went to the Fed Ex center in Bloomington, California, about 50 -60 miles East of me. It was then shipped to the Fed Ex Smartpost in Chino which is maybe 12 or so miles closer to my house. So it sat there for a few days and then was sent back to the Fed Ex facility in Bloomington, where it is now. The promised delivery date was 8/27/2021. I assume the package is not lost and somehow the USPS got into the mix. Hahahaha Here is the tracking information. By the way I have received cameras from Andy in Hong Kong faster than this. Bwahahahahaha

I usually have good luck with Fed-Ex, it is UPS that has been like what happened to you. We watched one package bounce all around our city, almost wanted to see if I could go to one of the locations to retrieve it, it would of been faster...Also our USPS hand offs are the worse, add a week with USPS...

That's what happens when FedEx has subcontractors, horrible delivery company, but still better than Lasership and Amazon. Amazon has been mishandling and damaging my shipments lately, I'm about to skip Amazon altogether if this continues

FedEx + USPS = "Smartpost"...boy, what an oxymoron...kind of like "jumbo shrimp" or "senate ethics".

Tell me about it...

Ordered a new Gadsden flag plate for the front of my "new" 2018 F-150 I got last week. It's an aluminum plate and they shipped in a thin bubblewrap bag....duh, you'll never guess! I'm making them spend the money to accept my return and ship another at their expense. We'll keep doing this little dance as long as it takes...I got nothing but time for the Prime....

You left one out "Senate Select Committee on Intelligence".

Yes, "Smartpost" sucks. I groan every time I see one of my packages come up with that. That hand-off just fucks things up. You could ship it via USPS to begin with and it would get there days faster.

As of this morning my package has departed Bloomington once again. It will be interesting to see where it goes next. It is about an hours drive from Bloomington to my house depending on traffic of course. It should go to Fed Ex in either Cerritos or Anaheim going by all my past packages.

If you're goin' to San Francisco, be sure to put some flowers in your hair (and armored rubber boots for the needles and feces on the sidewalk).

I watched a Fedex delivery "person", carry a new chair my wife had ordered, weighed 25-30lbs or so. When he/she/it dropped it off, he/she/it literally dropped it from waist high, never bent over at the waist at all.

This mornings update: Well the package arrived at Anaheim where it should have been last Wednesday. So there is a possibility I could get it today. We shall see. At least it is not lost. It was just going around in circles.

Out of curiosity what kind of hat @Parley ? I sort of have to wear a hat when outside and ballcaps are really getting boring.

Ou of curiosity what kind of hat @Parley ?

My anti-liberal hat. With what is happening around the world I decided to wear a new hat on my walks around our housing tract. I go three times a day. It will be interesting to see how many comments I get from the Democrats.

You may get a comment, if they actually know what it is?

I forgot to say it is also honoring our fallen soldiers.

As of tonight I still have not received my hat. Hopefully it is not lost and it is still in the system. Here is hoping tomorrow will be the day.

Update: Looks like it was handed off to the USPS. I have never seen this before. Maybe they want to put the blame on the USPS for the late delivery?

Maybe several people are trying it on , when you get it there will be Hat Pins all over it, LOL

Here is this mornings update. It says the package is out for delivery by the USPS. So Fed Ex gave the package to my local post office for delivery. This is just hilarious.

Don't count your hats until they hatch.....er...um, unpacked.
This was years ago, but my mortgage payment used to go to a bank that was 13 miles away. I lost count how many times it would take sometimes 10 working days for it to arrive at the bank.
