Dropped package off at fedex drop box inside building monday morning.
Fedex decides not to pick it up that day and picks up on tuesday. Because of the one day loss, the package isn't delivered to BFG until next monday instead of that friday. Hence, bfg ships out my replacement that now won't be delivered until Monday, whereas it would have been here today.

So, instead of going home to visit family on Sunday, I delayed the drive until monday night. Not that bad, but still kind of po'ed.

So you are saying that a video card is more important to you than your family?

Wow UPS.

These shipping companies never cease to amaze me. WTF do they do? What goes on in their little shipping process? I simply do not understand.



My package from newegg arrived the day after I ordered it. :Q

My wife's three day select ( LOL) UPS shipment left New York, went through KY, out to CA, took a side trip to FL, and now is on the way back to KY and then to her in WA.
Short of being completely lost that is our personal record for messed up shipping.

WTF Fedex - 3 packages in a row I get the "No attempt made, delivery scheduled for next business day"- now I have a flight this morning and a package in their system that does not require signature confirmation so it will be left on my doorstep for a week. This package was shipped on the 15th - PLENTY of time to make it here. I don't know what is up with my driver and his inability to deliver packages the day they are on the truck for the first time.

UPDATE:
It spent a day at the local hub, with a message about the crappy weather. At 1:45 AM it is out for delivery today. YAY!

Batavia, NY-->Buffalo, NY--> Louisville,KY-->Salt Lake City, UT-->Ontario, CA-->Hialeah, FL-->Miami, FL--> Louisville, KY--Hodgkins, IN-->Seattle, WA--> Pacific, WA--> crosses fingers.
Shipped the 16th, may be delivered the 24th. "Three day select" hmmm.

I'm just confused. My tracking # (DHL) from newegg worked yesterday but now it's saying it's an invalid #.
