Uh, oh. My package is delayed. In Troutdale, OR. This is bad.
YUP, Troutdale, the black hole of the FedEx system.
Thoughts and prayers!
Satan has a summer home there.
My package (Stellar phono) wad three days early and delivered today! Except that it required a signature and I wasnât there, so itâll be on time on Monday.
I hate to say it @vkennedy61 but I think FedEx just likes me. Two out of last three have been early. Just sayinđ
Enjoy it while it lasts. Statistically you are about to be disappointed in the near future.
Yes, Iâm sure my time is coming.
But sounds like statistically youâre in for some good FedEx service then too! Looking forward to your good news posts.
The pendulum swings.
This is comical so you have to see all 4 emails.
First email 09/16/22 5:36 PM:
Yay! My new preamp will be here Tuesday.
Second email 09/16/22 9:35 PM:
Wow itâs coming on Sunday 2 days early!
Third email 09/17/22 9:57 PM:
Oops. Now itâs going to be coming on Monday one day early.
Fourth email 09/18/22 4:45 AM:
Couldnât be delivered Sunday at 4:45 AM because no one was available? What??
Delivery is back to to one day early on Monday.

Seems to be par for the course. Some of our deliveries are seamless, some are delivery roulette.
You live in Perrysburg? I went to high school across the river in Maumee.
All mine in the last six months from FedEx have arrived on time or early. Maybe Santa Fe is a Black Hole of FedEx Goodness. Deliveries from PSA, Acoustic Sounds, and a few other places all great.
I also have a notice on an earlier delivery date from Fed Ex, first time if it holds true. I had several with UPS and US mail before and it happened. But more often late with both services usually with a delivery exception occurred notice. I do have more problems with Fed Ex than UPS or US mail. But here is my latest notice from Fed Ex on my new USB cable I just bought.
I live in Michigan. I think there is a FedEx warehouse in PerrysburgâŚ
The good news is they delivered my new P20 last week and the box doesnât look like it rolled down a flight of stairs!
OK so hereâs an update to the update. It says that they attempted to make the delivery at 11:47 AM today. Only they did not as the office has been open since 6:00 AM.
And then 2 minutes later I get this email:
At least itâs âOn Time.â
given their recent earnings call, I wouldnât hold my breath for improvement.
Whoo Hooâlucky you, an on time delivery!
They could have saved a whole lot of grief by just delivering the package as promised without the pre delivery fanfare. Hopefully it arrives safe and sound.
Now itâs my turn. My amp was scheduled for delivery this Wednesday. Now itâs Friday.
I canât even find out from Gryphon if my gear has even shipped. And all 800 pounds of it is going to Chicago instead of me. Fortunately I am not suffering with my existing gear. Quite the contrary. But Gryphon, at best, seems aloof.
Between blowing off customer inquiries about product paid forâŚand no warranty for legitimate second hand Gryphon purchasesâŚummâŚthey suck!
