Anyone experiencing FedEx delivery delays

Sadly, I cannot argue.

I’m sure there’s a reason it’s going to Kyomi first, but I personally can’t think of one. Opening the crates and inspecting the amps seems like a lot of work, especially since they will need to be crated and moved again. In my experience, damage occurs most often moving and unboxing/boxing gear.

That said, I am sending you positive vibes!

It is the dealers responsibility to deliver and install the gear. I wouldn’t have it any other way with the mass and cost of the gear I purchased. A 550 pound amplifier package should not be drop shipped.

I was expecting a delivery from Acoustic Sounds today. Not looking good…

Oops, I have been told my gear will be in the US tomorrow. If it arrives in Chicago by Friday it will be delivered to my home early next week. I need to study a thesaurus for new superlatives.

I was expecting that the dealer would be present at your house. Perhaps too much to coordinate.

Either way… Fun! Not too long now.

Superlatives shouldn’t be needed.

Uncomparable adjectives describe absolute states or conditions. Modifiers like more and less do not apply to them, and they don’t have comparative and superlative forms.

Do you think if I compulsively check the shipping progress of my amp every thirty minutes it will get here: a) faster; b) slower?

Well, I hope I will not need to post on this thread tomorrow. DS MK2 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow :pray:

OK, so does it count when FedEx leaves a label on your door that someone was unavailable to sign for a package, 2 days in a row, when someone was actually home?

That’s the sign of a FedEx contractor whose getting paid by the stops/attempts.

My last signature required package was left on doorstep no bell ring with people home. It seems to be random process adherences is the norm.

Picked my package up from FedEx/Kinkos earlier and I ask what could have gone wrong. The guy who retrieved my parcel seemed to think it was due to the USPS. There’s no rhyme, no reason.

Fortunately we are covered by FedEx employees in two trucks in my delivery area. The goods are arriving within a day or on time. Oh and with no damage. I’m lucky!
The last shipment was 5 large boxes.

I just ordered a UHQR from Acoustic Sounds which was delivered by Fedex International Economy.

I got the shipment notification on Monday evening our time (monday morning US time)

Parcel arrived yesterday (Thursday) in the UK, really good condition, and astoundingly fast. Has to be the quickest delivery from US I’ve ever had.

Really wasn’t expecting it this side of Christmas at all.

My FedEx package arrived in another city (transportation hub) on Saturday, and sat there until just departing this afternoon. My upgraded interconnect, which was scheduled to arrive today, is now re-scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

Not a fan of FedEx. They rarely deliver packages to my address. My BHK pre was delivered to the abandoned house next door, left on the porch. The next delivery was made to the street sign a mile down the road. It was a real surprise when the DSDMk2 arrived at the house.

I believe you can contact them and arrange to pickup your package at their facility.

Same lame service with UPS. They’ve delivered my package’s to the wrong address more than once. And if you need to get a hold of someone at UPS it’s a real pain, lots of hoops to jump through before you can speak with a real human. At least I can usually speak with someone at Fedex after navigating their phone menu in less than 15 min.
