UPS has lost my KX3 :-(
Locked
 
|
Hi,
Since I received my UPS tracking code last week I have been following the parcel's track through the US, arriving in Germany and then going through Denmark and Sweden before arriving in Oslo, Norway yesterday. The expected delivery was next Monday before the end of the day. However, today the postman arrived with a big parcel from UPS with my name, address and the correct UPS tracking code for my KX3 shipment. I hurried inside to open the box and almost had a heart attack. The box is full with clothes. I have got the wrong box and somebody else has got my KX3, :-( UPS says there must have been a mix of two or more shipments along the way. They will send me a new address labels for the box I have received and I hope they manage to trace the person who has got mine. A long wait just became even longer. 73's from a sad ham, Frode, LA2RL ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Lately UPS has not been very, very good...
I ordered a speaker from a company in Las Vegas, NV; I'm in Tucson. It was shipped on July 2 and scheduled for delivery on July 5, according to UPS' own tracking data. On the morning of July 5, it was "Out for delivery". Imagine my surprise to see later in the day, "Business was closed, will try again tomorrow." I'm not a business but a residence and I was home all day. I called their 800 number and requested a call from the local office. When they called, I got profuse apologies for their mistake, promises that "heads would roll" and that I would get my shipment the following day without fail. If that were the case, I wouldn't be writing. The next day, according to the tracking info, my "business" was again "closed"... twice. Another telephone got the same canned response and "I'm sorry, you won't get it until next week." So my package due on July 5 arrived on July 9. I could have driven to Vegas for the weekend and picked it up.

Here's a similar story about FedEx, with a happier ending.
As a beta tester for the K3, I was sent some new boards by FedEx. It was a Friday, and I really wanted to install them over the weekend. I was watching the FedEx site all day. The package was "out for delivery" when suddenly at about 5 PM, up popped 'exception': nobody home. I instantly called their 800 number and got a human! She called the driver and he actually appeared in about 10 minutes. He apologized, saying that he had been on the next block. Since they have GPS systems and since the numbers are not the same from block to block, I was suspicious, but happy.

An UPS story:
Some years ago, I sent my TS-940 transceiver to the Kenwood repair facillity in California (from here in western Washington). Kenwood repaired it in a timely fashion. It was shipped back to me via UPS. UPS dropped it, smashing in the left rear corner about 1 1/2 inches as it is heavy, weighing in around 54 lbs. I had to argue with a high level UPS manager in Seattle to finally get them to pay for a return trip to California and an ultimate re-repair. After a lot of arguing UPS agreed to pay. I did not get my radio back until a few days past ONE YEAR had passed. However the radio once again worked perfectly and it looked like they put it in a new case. (the serial number is still the same) 73 de Jack / W7LD / "Lucky Dog" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Berry" <[hidden email]> To: "Fred Smith" <[hidden email]>; "'Frode LA2RL'" <[hidden email]>; <[hidden email]> Sent: Friday, July 27, 2012 10:42 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] UPS has lost my KX3 :-( UPS is very, very good at their business.

My experience with both UPS and FedEx is that the driver leaves the package at the door. Sometimes they knock, and it's a race to see whether they can get into the truck and drive off before I can get to the door. Sometimes they just leave it and drive off. The tracking site says "Delivered to occupant...." even if a signature was required. For a $5 book it's no big deal. For a $500 piece of equipment it is. I have had one instance of "Can't find address...." Apology tendered, delivery postponed.

One final story before Eric lowers the boom:
Many years ago I bought a special hand-drawn cartoon as a present for a good friend who was retiring. I had it professionally framed, packed, and sent via UPS. The friend reported that the glass in the frame had a crack when it was received. Back to UPS who returned it to the sender. The latter reported to me that it had appeared that UPS had used it as a tennis racket and the drawing was totally destroyed. Because it was a one-of-a-kind and the artist had passed away in the meantime, I had to find a substitute in his remaining collection which was not nearly on-topic as the one that I had originally had found. It was re-framed with acrylic replacing the glass and fortunately it arrived back to my friend without any damage, with UPS picking up the replacement and reshipping costs. I prefer FedEx.....'Nuff said.... -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

I was waiting for a VHF/UHF all mode rig and the tracking page said there was a delivery exception. Calling them they said there was a labor action at the delivery address and their drivers will not cross a picket line. I informed them it was a private residence and ask if it was my cat picketing for more food. All I got back was "Oh!"
Fortunately their big depot was near work so I had them hold it and picked it up at lunch time.

Hi,
Many of you wonder how this could happen. It is simple. UPS Norway uses the local postal service to deliver parcels to places outside the big cities. For these deliveries they print new address labels which they then stick on to the parcels. What happened is that two labels ended up on the wrong boxes. Luckily it seems that only two boxes got swapped and I now know who has got my box. Unfortunately it is not somewhere close so I will have to wait until next week when UPS Norway will take contact with me for further information and instructions. So I am pretty sure things will end up OK. Very soon now ... I should also like to add that Vicki and April from Elecraft wasted no time in taking contact with me and their worries and concern that I might not get my KX3 is time is very comforting. Clearly Elecraft is more than a company, it is like family that is there to help you when you are in need of help. Many thanks Elecraft. 73's Frode, LA2RL > > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

You can say that again Wes.
I ordered some equipment from a company in North Carolina and it was picked up on July 10th. By July 12th it had made it to San Antonio, Texas. It sat there for 4 days and then arrived in Eagles Pass, Texas on July 16th. It's still in Eagles pass according to the tracking information. When I call and ask when it will be delivered they always have some excuse and promise someone will call me within the hour with a delivery date. No one ever calls and it's still in Eagles pass as of today which is July 28th. I even sent an email to customer service and unlike Elecraft I'm still waiting for an answer after 4 days. UPS is not and never will be my carrier of choice! Their attitude explains why their trucks are brown though.

The expected delivery was next Monday before the end of the day. However, today the postman arrived with a big parcel from UPS with my name, address and the correct UPS tracking code for my KX3 shipment. I hurried inside to open the box and almost had a heart attack. The box is full with clothes. I have got the wrong box and somebody else has got my KX3, :-( UPS says there must have been a mix of two or more shipments along the way. They will send me a new address labels for the box I have received and I hope they manage to trace the person who has got mine. A long wait just became even longer. 73's from a sad ham, Frode, LA2RL ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ----- No virus found in this message.

I've never had a problem with FedEx. I suppose it depends on where you are. Some years ago a box of motorcycle parts sat in Topeka for two days at the FedEx depot even though the parcel was scheduled to be delivered on a Thursday before a long weekend. After a call on Friday evening to FedEx customer service the agent promised to call the depot and give me a call back. About a half hour later she returned the call and was obviously frustrated by the run around *she* received. The parcel arrived on Saturday and my weekend wasn't entirely wasted. FedEx is not my first choice. My August QST is a couple of weeks past due and ARRL is sending a second copy. That is the first time since February 1983, as I recall. I don't really recall an issue with Parcel Post and they even delivered a motorcycle fuel tank the seller left stale gas in! They had to know as after less than an hour in the house it was obvious there was old gas in that box! All of them will have problems from time to time. It all depends on how they're resolved and the attitude of the people we deal with. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
