Rant on shipping

[user.69169]

FedEx is FREE if dey screw delivery up. Been dat way since Fred Smith started company.
Problem is only shipper can make claim..

Wish I had a nickle for every cheerful refund that didn't materialize. Then phone calls, time and more remembering to check to see if in fact you got a refund.

I've got one of those going on now with a e-Bay fraudster!

If you have something that depends on receiving the part before you can do the next step, the tracking is huge.

At work we have emergency repair calls and I will schedule a crew around a delivery date if the tracking history and sender information matches and looks solid. If the sender says they shipped an item but the tracking says it has not even been picked up I will not schedule around the senders estimated delivery date.

Similar thing can happen home projectsuesday)

Well the ebay sender sent an eamil saying to expect delivery tomorrow (Tuesday) instead of Monday now as communicated. No big deal but had I had tracking info I could have predicted it to be tomorrow rather than wait today on pins and needles.

Not that I was really waiting on pins and needles

This is where FedEx left this box. It is probably 200 feet from the house.

Here is the FedEx truck delivering it. I couldn’t see where he actually left the box, because it was on the opposite side of the truck from the camera, but that puts it pretty close to where I found it.

That camera is very clear, mind if I ask what brand and model?

Dat Fed Ex GROUND truck. Not exactly what you call best part de company.

Still, you can get GPS coordinate fer where courier dropped box widin about 50 feet from his logger.
USPS loggers little better on coordinates. Der software in office bring up picture of area where dey drop. Gotta have postmaster willing to use computer & be helpful er you got nothing.

Weekly packages still missing in neighborhood...

After Covid it's the number one topic at work because it is systemic... not a neighborhood spared unless in gated community.

It’s a Dahua fixed mount with optical zoom, but I set it and forget it. It’s connected to Blue Iris software, and is set to detect motion in the software. Looking down the lane, it acts as the “gate guard”
I can look up the model number when I get over to the shop.

Nice Blacktop! Surprised the Delivery guys don't do burnouts on the way out.
