Ordered a ChinaPhone on 11/29. Package left Asia on 12/2. Arrived in Chicago (USPS International) on 12/14 with a scheduled delivery date of 12/19. It's been taking a tour of Chicago since and now shows delivery date 'unknown'.

If no other scans in the US, it might be held up in Customs. I've had packages held there for up to 2 weeks.

Wait until a fed ex contractor digs your yard up because they can't make a 3 point turn around on a concrete driveway and they go on your lawn...
FedEx driver kept cleaning out the latch open post for the gate on a dumpster enclosure at work. For some reason the driver couldn't just pull up to the curb. He had to pull up, straddle the sidewalk and back across the lawn to get to pass door. Instead of walking the 5ft.

Work was upset but couldn't get fedex to do anything. They had me replace the post since it got for a third time.

Well I replaced it with a 4" scheduled 40 galvanized post. And then filled said post to the top with concrete :D I conveniently measured the driver's bumper since while I was digging the hole, since the jack wagon backed right through the spot I was working in making me have to get out of the way real fast while he did his delivery and breaking the handle on my shovel in the process when he ran over it. :mad: :hissyfit:

The next day I hooked the fedex truck on that latch post. :cool2: Latch post was wrapped in reflective tape, and had a sign attached to it saying stay off the grass.

FedEx management had to get involved at that point since the truck was hung, and we called the police. fedex had to get the bumper lifted over the post. And then was handed a bill for all the repairs, and damages their driver did to the property over the past month. With some pictures I had snapped the day before of the truck parked in my active work area, complete with my shovel sticking out from under the driver's tire. :D

What's not to understand? FedEx had a bad driver who was repeatedly backing over (and breaking) a wooden post and they would not take ownership of the issue.
The poster replaced the wooden post with a metal 4" diameter galvanized post.
In the process of digging the hole for the new metal post, the FedEx truck almost backed into the hole and ran over the shovel that he was using.
The next time the FedEx truck came out (after the new post was installed), the FedEx driver backed into it and got his bumper hooked on the post.
At that point, the police were called and a tow truck had to come out and remove the truck from the pole.
Given the incontrovertible proof that their driver was at fault, FedEx paid for repairs including repairs from the previous wooden poles that they would not pay for it before.

I guess I have never heard the term "cleaning out" for damaging something.

Like....the robber broke into my shop and he "cleaned me out".

I inferred that meaning from the next line which said "Work was upset but couldn't get fedex to do anything. They had me replace the post since it got for a third time."
