no not f ups F U.P.S - I checked my delivery of my FMJ kit from Dwayne (thanks!! BTW - no slight on D here) - and it showed out for delivery as of 6:30 A.M. this morning...well here it is 8:30 P.M. and no package. I called ups and they gave me the schpeel about no delivery attempt made yet no idea what is going on - blah blah blah - man this sucks I left work early and was stoked to use my FMJ kit today and get some pics up - now it looks like I won't get a chance to use it till sunday (if it gets here by then)...I hate UPS they ruined my fun :(
 
I have a regular UPS guy and I started talking to him and ever since then he brings my orders to me first so that I have them for the morning jobs. Sorry to hear about your issue. Hope it comes soon.
 
my FORMER UPS guy was the kind of guy who would take a box that had an arrow pointing up and put the box on its side...he WAS the kind of guy that when he loaded your box that said fragile, you heard a loud thud:nono ...he is the kind of guy that would leave a delivery out in the rain when your door is wide open...needless to say ...I use FedEx now:)
 
Man I don't understand shipping sometimes. Some people say Fedex is unreliable, some say UPS just sucks, and priority really hasn't been that bad. YOu gotta look around and see what locally good I guess.

Sorry to hear, want me to swing by to apply it for ya? :lol My Adams stuff should be here tomorrow or Friday!

Maybe order it earlier next time? :dunno :LOLOL I could check 1 day if I was crazy enough. Want me to clean your wheels?
 
As long as you don't start using DHL you'll be fine. They can't even track their own packages. I had a $12,000 Compaq server that they "lost" for a week - finally showed up, box ripped open, etc.

DHL = Delivery Hasn't Left :rolleyes:

Patience is virtue...yeah right.... when you get your Menzerna Kit you will bath in it's completeness and love it... you will spend hours using the great products and after the FMJ you will indeed believe........ Menzerna is worthy......

:wait
 
The UPS tracking system has become unreliable lately. Here's the activity of one of my recent orders:

Jul 7, 2004 4:07 P.M. BALDWIN PARK, CA, US DELIVERY
Jul 6, 2004 6:44 A.M. CERRITOS, CA, US ARRIVAL SCAN
Jul 2, 2004 12:25 A.M. PHOENIX, AZ, US DEPARTURE SCAN
Jun 29, 2004 2:05 A.M. CERRITOS, CA, US ARRIVAL SCAN
Jun 28, 2004 9:31 P.M. NASHVILLE, TN, US DEPARTURE SCAN
Jun 28, 2004 6:17 P.M. NASHVILLE, TN, US ORIGIN SCAN

Notice how it arrived in the SAME city TWICE and departed from a city it never arrived in? It was supposed to be delivered Jun 30, 2004, but arrived a week later.
 
Yah still no packaged - they called me this morning to say "we don't show it being scanned here, I know it says out for delivery but we don't show it being scanned, the last place it was scanned was Raleigh."


Even funnier - they ship it from Raleigh to Chapel Hill, the Chapel Hill UPS is much further away from me than Raleigh.

:wait Holy crap! Why don't you just demand that the package is lost and ask Dwayne to send a new one? UPS will pay the costs.

Keep in mind that you cannot use your local pickup or delivery guy as an accurate indicator of a companies performance.
I will admit that any company is only as good as their weakest link but I think it is a fair assumption to say that both Fedex and UPS have some awesome employees and some that really really need to be fired.

LOL, I will never forget when the Fedex guy came into my office to have me sign for a delivery and then he ran away. A few minutes later Mike asked me if I knew about the blue lake in front of our building and I went outside to find a CRUSHED box full of broken 32oz Natural Look bottles! No wonder the guy ran away, I would have too if I had delivered that!

I have shipped 1000's and 1000's of packages with UPS and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. We have never had a UPS package lost and only 5 damage claims every 10,000 shipments is a pretty good percentage.
I have an awesome delivery driver and my daily pickup is on time every day. I almost hate to move...

My UPS rep is awesome and she is in awe of our sales growth and she has went out of her way to make me very happy.
By the way, she lives here in Sarasota. My Fedex rep lives somewhere up in New York.

UPS has the technology to integrate with numerous eCommerce solutions that Fedex and DHL do not as of yet.
The biggest auto care websites online such as PremiumAutoCare, Autopia Car Care, AutoGeek, ProperAutoCare and TopOfTheLine all use Yahoo Stores and guess who Yahoo chose to partner with... ups.yahoo.com

I value the thoughts and opinions of others, just want to share my two cents and experience with UPS.

Take care,

Dwayne

Groe man chill out! I know that Menzerna is important but its starting to haunt all the kids on here! :lmfao Want me to clean your wheels? That will help!

Thanks Dwayne! I had 1 bad experience with UPS but other than that they have been shipping well. I just ship out with USPS cause I know they will be cheap but reliable. I just hate to see how a company's rep will go bad cause of some lazy or bad quality employee doesn't take a rap or isn't diligent.

I like the yahoo system, simple but reliable. Good to see it being used where ever I shop, which is alot :D
 
I've only had a few nitpicky things about Fed Ex. I really don't like my UPS driver as he'll never knock on the door or anything to let me know something has arrived. He just leaves the package and takes off.
