Silencers Have NEVER Been Illegal !
I ordered something that costs a few hundred bux and it was shipped via FedEx with signature required. The day it was scheduled for delivery, I ended up at Riley Hospital with the boy child and acute appendicitis, so I was going to miss delivery. I asked my neighbor who is retired and basically lives outside all day if he could intercept the FedEx driver and sign for my package. He calls me and says the driver wouldn't do that. Ok, whatever. I came home for a few minutes that night and got the call-tag that FedEx left on my door and the driver left me a note that says I can call the 800 number and schedule a pick up at the local FedEx facility, so I do that. I was told that the shipper requested that service to not be an option. I was then suggested to go to my FedEx account page and schedule the delivery for when I'd likely be home so I tried that but was unable to. I told the phone agent that I couldn't and he said it was user error and put me on with tech support. With them I discovered that the shipper had also requested that scheduled delivery times not be an option. I end up with a supervisor who told me that my only option was to let them attempt delivery 2 more times, and if that was unsuccessful, they'd return it to the shipper and I could call them and request they make the shipment less restrictive. The next morning I get a call from the local FedEx hub supervisor who tells me that he pulled the package and I can come get it at their secure location, but they can't send it out to the local facility for me to pick up. He gives me an address and it turns out to be near my house! I got my package after all that fanagling, but it sure was a pain. -1 Fedex / +1 Fedex = neutral. I can't figure out why a shipper would make it so hard to receive a package.....
