+FastChapter Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Well, I sent out an order on Amazon for my Garmin 60CSx on Sunday, asked for one-day shipping so it would arrive on Tuesday (yesterday) and it still hasn't arrived. Just my luck, the Origin location for the shipment was in Kentucky, which was apparently buried under roughly seven thousand feet of ice and snow the day it should have arrived. As of now, it's in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, and has not only arrived and departed there... it arrived again. Back in Oak Creek. I'm hoping that sometime this morning it would have left the facility there. The weather is fine in Oak Creek, so maybe someone scanned the package wrong as it was leaving, but I doubt it. ( _ _) I just hope its intact after all this... Edited January 28, 2009 by FastChapter Quote Link to comment

That's not to say that it isn't worth asking for a refund -- if they say no to a full refund, ask for a refund of the difference between overnight service and what you would have had to have paid for it to arrive by the time you receive it (2nd Day, Standard, etc.) -- they may be receptive to that.

+Vinny & Sue Team Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Well, I sent out an order on Amazon for my Garmin 60CSx on Sunday, asked for one-day shipping so it would arrive on Tuesday (yesterday) and it still hasn't arrived. Just my luck, the Origin location for the shipment was in Kentucky, which was apparently buried under roughly seven thousand feet of ice and snow the day it should have arrived.

I'm hoping that sometime this morning it would have left the facility there. The weather is fine in Oak Creek, so maybe someone scanned the package wrong as it was leaving, but I doubt it. ( _ _) I just hope its intact after all this... First, while your header says that your package was shipped via FedEx, the tracking information which you have provided is from UPS. Next, delays are common, even on so-called overnight and 2nd day shipments, for shipments which are sent during those periods in wintertime when extreme weather is afoot. That is just a part of life. I am sure that you will survive just fine, despite the minor delay. I am sure that you are more than strong enough, on an inner level, to deal with this in a calm and relaxed fashion, and I am sure that you realize that this is an extremely minor matter, and hardly one worth getting upset about. Next, in my experience with shipping many tons of packages via UPS, the presence of two separate arrival scans on the tracking log, less than two hours apart (at Oak Creek, WI), are very common, and can be due to any of a number of very ordinary occurrences; they do not indicate a problem. Next, so long as you call and file for a partial refund within 14 days of shipment date, you are eligible for a partial refund of your shipping charges, because the package was not shipped on time. However, since it was Amazon and not you who was the originating shipper, you may need to apply to Amazon for your shipment refund, rather than to UPS. Finally, I wish to remind you that you wrote the term "WTF" in large bold font on the image of the UPS tracking information. This is considered to be a family-friendly forum, and, unfortunately, almost everyone knows that WTF stands for "What the Fxxx" And, it just so happened that as I read your original post OP, my beautiful pearl-white peahen Petty was sitting on my shoulder, surfing the forum with me. Well, she is only three years old, and it caused her so much distress when she saw the extremely uncouth and uncivil "WTF" penned on the image in your message that she immediately pooped all over my shoulder, so great was her shock. She is now sitting on my desk, clucking disconsolately. Next time, please be more prudent about your use of the WTF term on a family forum. Thank you for agreeing to do the needful. .

Yeah, I figure if it's a weather-related issue, it's not UPS/Fedex (whoever's shipping it!) fault for not wanting to throw their drivers onto roads-turned-ice rinks. I won't ask for a refund if it arrives today - the difference that Amazon would have charged me was five dollars and some change, and I don't want to be petty. I do, however, curse whichever weather god it was that hindered my tracker from arriving on my only day off this week, Quote Link to comment

+DavidMac Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 It took 21 minutes to get from KY to WI? Amazon has a large distribution center in Campbellsville, KY, which is about two hours from Louisville. Many orders are shipped from there to the UPS distribution center at the Louisville airport, then out from there. I have family in that area, and as of yesterday afternoon the ice storm has shut pretty much everything down. With thousands of people in the region without power, I'd be surprised if the package made it to WI at all by this point. Quote Link to comment

Looks to me like it left KY at 5:39pm (KY time, 4:39pm WI time), at 6pm (WI time, 5pm KY time) the WI facility noted they were having adverse weather conditions, the package was checked in to WI at 6:31pm WI time (7:31 KY time), the checked onto a truck for further distribution at 8pm WI time (9pm KY time), and then checked back into the facility at 8:10pm WI time (9:10pm KY time) probably due to the adverse weather. back to the original question...... it looks to me like it took almost 2 hours to get from KY to WI, not just 21 minutes.

Don't get too bent out of shape over UPS or FedEx tracking. FedEx is usually good about giving the correct delivery day. I had a radio shipped last week from Ft Worth Texas to Toledo OH, was only scanned at Ft Worth and Toledo (Northwood). Nothing in between. But it was here at 9:16 AM yesterday, the day they predicted last week. With this winter weather that dumped a lot of stuff across the USA yesterday and today, expect a delay. Quote Link to comment

I'm going to download a few free Wisconsin street maps since - as I was warned over an over - the base map really does suck for points of reference. Granted, this isn't a big deal in my hometown - I know this place like the back of my hand - but out of town areas will be needing some kind of reference point to keep me sane.

Knowing it made it to Memphis at 11:38 pm CST is not quite enough for me. Imagine having a website where you could actually see the unit moving along on a map. That would be sweet.

It has been my experience that Fedex and UPS will always issue a partial refund, that is, a refund for the differential between base shipping price and speedy shipping price, when a delivery has been delayed due to weather. However, the big trick is to remember that most such shipping companies have only a 10-day or 14-day time window (the clock starts on day of shipping) during which they will honor a claim for a delayed shipment. .
