RIGHT!! I probably wouldnt mind if they put the honest answer. It should just say they were unable to deliver on time. Otherwise you have no idea what's going on, whether its been lost ect. Very frustrating.

Except when that happens you can convince Amazon that the package is lost, and they send you another one for free. Now I have two angle grinders, and I didn't even need the first one

The employee pool is nearing the bottom of the barrel in regards to quality human beings. UPS was hiring parolees with "Ankle Bracelets" the last year I was there......
Exactly. Be honest. Otherwise, it just pisses people off.

And there is what's wrong with society today. For christ sake people!
See, that I can live with. An honest reason.

Too bad you can't read. The tracking info states that the item is still in the hands of Amazon and the USPS has yet to receive it. Your anger is misdirected.

Amazon has a secret score for each customer and dings youi for returns and this sort of thing. Exceed an unpublished threshold and you are banned for life as a customer..Except when that happens you can convince Amazon that the package is lost, and they send you another one for free.

Totally get that, but to that point, how many days are they going to hold a package hostage before they have to do something about it?
The other sneaky thing Amazon does is push back the "call us for a refund date" each time UPS fails to deliver. I'm on the other side of the state but it appears to be happening by the cape too.

Personally for me at this point, on my most recent one, today is 7 days, the package they delivered to me yesterday, they didnt even get out of the truck to deliver, it was a best effort toss by the passenger, I'm just going to do down and try to lobby to take delivery off their hands...
Yeah, with Amazon, you can push them and they will make 'an exception' I've done that in the past a few timesThe other sneaky thing Amazon does is push back the "call us for a refund date" each time UPS fails to deliver.

not happening. People seemingly can't do the simplest of things like post in the right forum. How hard is it, really?

So I send an IP camera to ACTI US in Irvine, CA for repair. They agree to fix it for $80, which is also the "estimate only" price, so I am getting their usual service. This is a nicer unit than the $50 Amazon specials. I like therir style - the banner they on their site reads - "Non-Chinese Cameras - SoC from Japan, Taiwan and the US".
Whoopee!!! They have fixed it and reported replacing the power supply board on the unit and shipping it to me.
But what I can't figure out is how they created the shipping label tomorrow when the package shipped today.

A friend on FB purchased a new item, and received a notice: "We're sorry, but due to circumstances beyond our control, your purchase will not ship on 8/12. It will ship on 8/11, with an expected arrival of..."
Nice that they sent an update that lets him know to expect it earlier, but it's odd automated language.

Could make sense. I'm also puzzled that a repair costing $80 rates the US branch shipping the unit to Taiwan. At manufacturing cost, it might have been cheaper to send me a new one than to send it back home for repair. Interesting company - nice people, all surnames appear to be Asian.

I had to return a box of defective pink flamingos to Amazon the other day and went to UPS.
Only to find the door locked.
The walk-in lobby is open Mon - Fri.
From 4pm to 5pm.

CVS is now a UPS dropoff location, and Walgreens does Fedex. The package gets scanned when you drop it off and gets into package tracking immediately.

That's good to know. Thanks. All CVS or just some?

I don't know how they will pull it off, but UPS claims my package is now in Taoyuan but it will make it to the US, clear customs, and get to me by 12:30PM tomorrow.

My first 6mo order of food is supposed to be hitting Leominster tomorrow - I want to pick it up so I set it for hold at UPS. The phone is useless, the app is screwy but think I got it done. It looks like one is showing ‘Delivery Exception’ because it doesn’t appear to have left VA with the other 3 boxes.
All four are 60lbs each - no need to make the driver hump those. No idea how pickup will go.

Unbelievable - Video cam from Taiwan on Tuesday at my house on Thursday via Alaska. I know this is the same unit I sent it for my repair, as it still have my IP address label sticker on it and the same grunge I sent it with. All for $80 including shipping from CA->Taiwan->Me.

UPS Leominster told me some story about needing me to pick it up between 8 & 8:30 at night? WTF. I’m going to try and pick it up on Tuesday AM after my son and I get the truck serviced. I’ll explain to them I could change it back to deliver to me and they get to hump 240lbs or I can take them off their hands.
Screw that. Just have them hump it to your door. That's what they get paid to do.

It's China.
They dig a hole in their backyard and drop the package;
you dig a hole in your backyard and catch the package.
At least that's what I heard happens if you dig a really deep hole...
Is the camera firmware checksum the same?
I know it's RoC not PRC,
but I read Threat Vector over vacation,
and you never know what some agent
is going to give you as a Bonus Upgrade.
So, jus' askin'...
