I ordered a few things on newegg and they were supposed to be delivered today. Since I was going to be at work all day, I assumed my little brother could get them from the fedex guy when he came. I get home and I asked my brother where are my packages, and he says "what packages". I asked him if the fedex guy came and he said, "was that who our dog was barking at?". I checked my phone messages and there was one from fedex saying "your dog is outside and unrestrained, we cannot deliver". (the dog wont hurt a fly).

Not only did he not go see who was in the driveway when my dog was barking, but he also didnt answer the phone.

crap :(
 

You will be able to pick up the package at your local FedEx depot tonight. Call FedEx's 800-number and tell 'em you'll be in later to pick up the package.

How old is your little brother? Maybe he is under the age of 10 and can't accept packages anyways (if they need to be signed).

they dont care...even if the package is marked for "over 21": or whatever the drivers would rather just get rid of a package then come back or deal with crap. I signed for horse tranquilizer when i was like 16...all over the box the thing was like "ADULT SIGNITURE ONLY"

Anyways the only solution i see fit here is....kill him...then yourself...lifes just not worth it if u dont get your package...

nope, it's not a legal contract. And let me guess this is his last week of break?

thats why you sign a release so they can just drop it off. provided you trust your neighbors not to steal it.

i dont blame the fedex guy for not messing with your dog. he has no idea how nice or vicious your dog may be.

sucks waiting on a package, tho. id just go pick it up, instead of wasting time here.

no, i would have slit his throat for that. that was his retarded friend. in that story, i helped him assemble it, and due to the crappy parts it was a POS and i got blamed for his problems. that was the thanks i got for driving 45min home from college to help him. :thumbsdown:

i did sign the release. he wouldnt get out of his truck to even leave it on my driveway. i guess my dog was jumping on his door trying to claw his way in. :roll:
