I need to vent. So, I bought some mags off the Internet earlier

Also before anyone asks, the mags I bought where the steel lips Butler Creek 10-round single stack 10/22 mags. I prefer them over the stock box mags Ruger makes, since they're easier to take in and out. I live in California so no BX-25s for me.

What level of shipping did you use?

Us postal completely lost an aimpoint PRO I ordered.

>>28298590

just "fedex", the cheapest they had

yeah I know I jewed out, I feel like fucking shit for not paying the extra $5 for at least UPS

>>28298616
You also picked the wrong time of year.

Package volume has been at historic levels for over a month now, so everyone is getting hammered with work. They also have a lot of seasonal help right now, so that means lots of retards at all levels of handling.

Throw in choosing bare minimum handling and you have a perfect storm of the worst delivery experience possible.

Amazon Prime deliveries are completely different, because Amazon is paying UPS out the ass for those deals and UPS is very concerned about keeping that contract forever.

>>28298649

True, but I don't have prime but had all my things (four separate packages) be delivered on time and not have any hiccups.

I'm just pissed because the store's shop closed at 7 est, and I have to wait until tomorrow to get all my shit sorted again. But I shouldn't be in this place in the first place, having three different fuckups is not acceptable to me.

Well like>>28298649 said you fucked up by otdering this time of the year.

>>28298797
this. I don't care what anyone says about USPS they've always been good to me and I order tons of stuff.

USPS lost my grandpa's WWII letters. And it's not like you can go into a store and by some new ones

>>28299172

No this was way back in July or august

FedEx is shit tier.

Also their drivers are the very worst. They seriously hire the biggest retards you can imagine to drive their trucks. If you are ever driving down the highway and you see a FedEx semi- STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM IT. A blind person is a safer driver than the average FedEx employee

>>28298572
Nice blog post, faggot.

Now go rinse your mouth out with buckshot.

>>28299252
Oh man, you're so edgy and cool!

>FedEx

Holy shit, I just ordered a pair of level IV plates from HighCom Security, and the shipping is free, but I guess they picked some cheapo option with FedEx because I was home the entire day and that shit did not show up but was confirmed as delivered.

I live in a city, so I was pretty sure that shit was gone and some crackhead was running around with my plates, but fortunately a neighbor down my street called me and asked if I was looking for a package. Thankfully this complete stranger was nice enough to let make up for FedEx's retardation and I got my plates, but if I know I'm getting something via FedEx in the future, I'm sending it to my dad's house out in the country where the address should be harder to fuck up.

>>28299252
as opposed to the semen which your rinse yours out with on a daily basis?

>"........It'll take ten days for the refund to process"
>That's strange it only took you chuckle fucks ten seconds to charge me

This was in the summer. I'm still waiting for refund, but I'm not holding my breath for it. I don't understand why they wouldn't let me pick up my package before they ruined it or why they couldn't it send it to another office to send it to my grandma, when it wound up going through several offices to get back to sharps.

Seriously Fuck Fedex. I will fucking drive to the other side of the country to pick up a package before I use fedex again.

Its holiday season expect shit to be late

>I'm sending it to my dad's house out in the country where the address should be harder to fuck up.

the fuck ups don't happen just with new drivers/handlers, it also happens inside their system itself where it'll give your package the wrong label

Like, I can understand their drivers/handlers fucking up. I get that those people are both clueless and overworked. But when packages show up at my door that aren't mine and that have my name on it, I seriously don't know how that can happen when it doesn't happen with UPS or the regular post office.

>all these people bitching about FedEx ground
>not realizing they are absolute shit

Sucks to be you fucks.

>totally not a Fedex Express employee.

>>28299527
>inside the system itself
My apartment has received packages marked for a different address on occasion, but the package containing my plates was clearly labeled with my address, all correct...It was just delivered to the completely wrong address. My building is on a corner, and the street address is displayed in large letters above the door too; it's pretty obvious even for an apartment.

>>28298649

Bingo. I run a business and let me tell you, shit is swamped right now on both ends.

I've had merchandise come in way too late to sell for Christmas, merchandise arriving at clients' houses late, etc.

Worse than usual. I blame everyone moving away from traditional retail to online for black friday sales.

>>28299186

IMO, something like that you sould have done next day express flat rate. Cost like $30 but 100% guarantee it's safe

>>28299323

>shipping is free

No, it's built into the price of the item and we say it's free to make you feel like you got a deal. And, at least for Ebay, in the past you'd have options for how you want it shipped, but nowadays since eBay changed policy I just offer free shipping, so you get the cheapest service because that's how I roll.

>but in 90% of cases, USPS is cheaper nowadays. they've really improved discount pricing for larger items, making UPS/FedEx not as necessary.

>>28299528

>working for fed ex

Why havent you killed yourself?

>>28299186

>mailing heirlooms
>mailing heirlooms not express and with insurance

look I really do feel bad for you, but you walked into this. If it's not replaceable, then it gets special treatment. If you can't afford that then move it yourself by car.

Fedex uses a lot of contract drivers who get paid shit so their work reflects that, so thats why you always hear horror stories compared to ups who are a majority vested employees who've did their time making minimum wage box boys before getting promoted to $80k a year drivers.

Usps is govt plus union so they've got the most protected jobs even when they fuck up so very little fucks are ever given, never had any issues with usps but they're just slow as hell. I've had countless packages put on the wrong truck and sent around the country before finding its way to my house

>>28298616

I had a package with some 9mm ammo stolen of my porch early this year....

The crooks must have taken it and all gathered to see what they had stolen from me...

Crooks have not been around here since :D :D ;D

>>28298572
If you got the cheapest option, you got the smart post crap which is fedex planes and shit up until they send it out to your local PO for delivery.

You ordered shit during the busiest time of the year and are surprised your shit got lost?

>>28300393

I'm only surprised it got lost not once, not twice, but three times.
