So I had a great time with shipping.

I believe UP$ needs to get their act together. This is rediculous. My dad ordered a netbook from UPS and it went all over the place somewhere somehow, leaving a hilarious shipping status. I love this.

Shows you how much they love me.

What makes this hilarious is that there is a town called Ontario in California.

Hahaha, amazing. If they do that with my netbook I'll be mildly dis-satisfied and will have to send them a slightly-irate email.

Please review the last line.

Please review the last line.

I did, but they did send it kind of out of the way.

LOL! I'm not all that surprised, I can't stand UPS and always choose FedEx when it's possible. But at least it arrived, a good portion of my orders haven't.

Besides shipping something back to Newegg around Christmas that cost me $30 and took 5 days (the Rosewill PSU that blew up), I have never had a problem shipping with UPS. We have a company account with them at work, and Ground Select never costs more than $10, and Next Day Air AM is usually under $50 depending on the item, and I have only ever had one exception and that was because the guy moved and didn't tell me. When I ship something personally I usually dislike the cost, but receiving has never been a problem for me.

I used FedEx at my last company and loved them as well. I could just drop the package off at the FedEx/Kinko's around the corner and they'd take care of it. The only problem is that FedEx shipping is more expensive than UPS about 90% of the time in metro Atlanta and most of Georgia.

I don't know if I am missing something. Places have the same name as others all over the world. And the package only went north before it headed east. Maybe Washington was the most convenient flight out east, as in it was their next flight. Maybe they had a ton of stuff to go north and there was a plane going east anyway so it tagged along.

It only took three days to ship, unless you paid for next day that's pretty damn quick cross country, no? Just a little confused here that's all.

Something like that happened to me with FedEx 2nd Day Delivery. I live on the west coast and it shipped from the west coast (california) but somehow it made a detour to the east coast. They told me that it went through their "main" shipping center or some BS like that and that there was no mistake, even though I didn't get the service I payed for. They just gave me the whole crappy weather excuse for it being late. /whatever

Never had a problem with the boys in brown though. Well, except that one time when they got stuck in my drive way because of all the snow and ice and by the end of the day we had like an entire fleet of brown vehicles swarming our house. lmao

I offered the guy sand for traction, but apparently he somehow managed to drive so far into the snowbank to the side of our drive way that he got stuck, then somehow managed to lose all power in the vehicle what-so-ever and had to call for "backup".

It was mostly our fault I guess. Our driveway isn't steep at all, but apparently its just enough that when there is ice its impossible to get out of. I had to push my friends car out of it once too. We really should of put a sign up or something. lol

I think he is just surprised that it went all over the place and stopped at so many locations, rather than going straight to Raleigh or Knoxville and being trucked to him.

It basically started in the far south west, went straight north to the Canadian border, made a bee line down to Texas, hopped the river over to the East coast, then chugged its way back to his place.

[Drum Thumper]

Portalnd, Spokane and Dallas/Ft Worth are three of the major hubs that UPS has, so those stops don't surprise me. What does boggle my mind is the fact that Newegg didn't ship this from their east coast location, unless they happened to be out at that time.

Fedex is just as bad for me. I've ordered stuff from zipzoomfly in the past, which is based in California, and they send it to Nashville before it gets to Montana.

[chaksq]

Yea my HD monitor was a two days late thanks to them.

[BuzzKillington]

At least it's not DHL. I ordered a book a while back and the driver THREW the book about 30' and hit the screen door. It sounded like someone trying to kick the door down.

I called DHL and they told me they'd find out who was on that route and the proper action would be taken.

It went to Ontario, California. See below.

I know this. It is all irony. There is no cake.

I know, it went from California to Oregon to Washington state, and still made it to you in 3 days. Crazy.

[SXRguyinMA]

I agree, 3 days is not bad. the # of stops does seem excessive, but if it made a trip like that and took 15 days then I'd be sayin somethin :?
