:spooked:  I hope it is UPS buying FedEx. Otherwise we are doomed to never getting what we order!  :mad:

That can't be true. I recall reading something about it back in 2005 I believe, but it fell through. Have they started up again????



Actually, it's the other way around and they're changing their name to "Fedup". LMAO! Sorry...timing is everything...:biggrin:

Nope. Not even a slight turning up of the corners of my mouth. I am pissed off and I don't want to be pissed on.  :icon_evil:

Next time I'll just go to the real apple store instead of the virtual one. Like Locutus said.

At least until Anderson becomes a real town anyway.

I've had similar problems with UPS and substitute drivers.  Their new computer system shows my street with a 100 block, and a 400 block, but no 200 or 300????  Hell, there are only 4 blocks in town from the south end to the north!  The regular driver ignores it and delivers, but a recent sub didn't even try, saying the address did not exist.  I called UPS and complained, telling them I had lived here since 1989 and have had the same street address the entire time.  The lady on the phone tried to weasel around and make it my fault, but in the end fact and reason won out.  Luckily the regular driver was back the next day.

Yeah. I guess every company has its screw-ups. . . . I just wish they'd stop assigning them to my area all of the time! :rant:

palehorse...this also happened to me this week with FedEx.  The UPS man has no trouble.  Fedex just leaves little tags on the door and says they were here.  They do not knock or anything cause we have been home sitting right here in the computer room which is at the front of the house.  Yesterday, hubby finally chased him down to the fire station and asked him why he didn't knock.  He said he did, but you could tell he was lying.  I also do not like FedEx.....give me an UPS man everytime!!!!!!

I was just informed that the FedEx man did not knock again today when they delivered the computer monitor.  hubby just so happened to open the door to check the regular mail and he was getting ready to leave.  Wonder what he has against knocking?  My front door doesn't have cooties.....at least that I know of.....well no more than any one else's outside door would have.....you know what I mean.  maybe we should get together and complain.

I think it may be the same jerk that is doing it to me. He just does drive bys in my case and never stops. You should call them and complain about it. They are not supposed to leave items like that without a signature anyway. (You can pre-sign).

I reamed them out good, but I don't have the phone number for them. Apple conferenced me in with them. They tried to blame me but I was ready for that and I had a digital photo (with time and date stamp) of the jackass driving by this morning. I have been sitting here all week waiting on this software because I knew it was due, and checking their system to make sure it was on the truck, which it has been every day since Tuesday! And I still do not have it. . .

I bet they make me wait until Monday now. . .

No. . .That Butt Muncher ruined my day and my attitude for the entire day apparently. And to top it off we went to a friend's home for a bit then stopped for a quick bite to eat at a local establishment on the way back. There I ran into one of my former colleagues, (A purdue graduate just like that bald headed bastard). Needless to say it did nothing to improve my attitude because it got me thinking. . . :rant:
