MiniRant: Newegg+UPS

[Demon-Xanth]

So I need to get some floppy drives. Only the second time I've ever needed to do this. I order from Newegg, get two drives and a USB one to use on PCs w/o them. Decide to use the default shipping method.

Judging by the tracking info...

...one would think that I'd have them. I live in a rural area. Packages don't get stolen by neighbors. Ask the neighbors (there's only one other one on our street), they didn't get a package by accident. Family member that was home just an hour later never say anything. So someone out there got a package wrong, thinks they scored big by getting computer parts, and is thoroughly pissed that thier hopes were dashed when they opened up the package and got f'ing floppy drives. Now I got two PCs torn apart waiting for a couple of floppy drives, and am going to move to an apartment in a week. I don't need a g'd' shipping snafu right now.

I bought something from the egg yesterday using UPS and it's already out for delivery.... To bad I paid for 3 day shipping or I would have it today.

I bought a vid card from newegg a month or so ago, and it was scheduled for delivery on a monday, but showed up the friday before, which was the third day after my order. I always have good luck with newegg shipping.

Signature for package?

Possible that the package was not actually left, but flagged by the driver.

Call UPS local office and find out.

Yeah....cause if you didn't receive it and the website says you did....I'd give em hell. Maybe Email NewEgg too so they can check it out on their end.

Yeah UPS sucks, wonder why they went with them. Not like they are cheap either.
