>>6073248
Yep. But I got my money back, so it's all good.

That's never happened to me.

The only time I 've never received what I ordered was a Gundam model kit of the Freedom a Looooong time ago. Probably 10 years ago. My parents were angry as fuck. "I TOLD YOU THAT THEY ARE ALL CONMEN ON THE INTERNET" now, they order things on amazon in a weekly basis.

I couldn't care less now since I lost all my interest in Gundam and anime.

On the other hand, I ordered a Ultraman Sofubi and a Ultraman Gachapon with luminous eyes last month and they are still not here. I hope they are not lost.

SAL
never again

Guy who works for AT&T here. I have so many FedEx horror stories.

Oh shit, I got a random Figuarts in the mail recently, thanks bro!

The only time I've ever had issues internationally was with Royal Mail. I don't know what those fucks have against burgerland, but something always goes wrong.

I'm having one of those moments right now. My SHF Tony Stark and SSJ Vegeta have been in customs for two weeks now. I hope they didn't get lost.

>>6073398
Well, post them!

>>6073398
>FedEx

Augh, all year round they give us beaten up packages, late deliveries, drop huge packages off wherever he wants, even if it's in the middle of the lobby, denies taking any packages from us even if we scheduled it

Posters and banners bent in half

The guy literally doesn't give a fuck, I hate him. Fuck FedEx

>>6073329
wow thank you for giving me nightmares asshole.

>last SAL package from japan stayed at "Dispatch from outward office of exchange" for over two months
Got pretty nervous.

>>6073508
This is worded so it sounds like you think fedex is just that guy who delivers to you. I know you know it's not but I had a chuckle thinking that.

>moved house
>buy SHF Beerus on sale 50% (or 75% I forget) at HobbySearch
>forgot to change address
>beerus gets sent back by new tenants
just fuck my shit up.
he's out of stock now too. unless I buy again for over $100 at my local comic shop.
I'm still fuckin' mad at how dumb i am.

>>6073447
Most of my tales mainly involve them leaving $800 smartphones on peoples' porches without any notice. We've had to do so many lost package cases because of them.

>>6073394
> ordered Figuarts Jango and Mafex ROTJ Boba on separate sites with SAL in late November and yesterday respectively

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>Preordered Figma Eugen
>been a month since payment and still not here

more like REEEEEEEE-SAL

>>6073248
still waiting for my amazon omega and s.i.c. gaim


you monster

>>6074925
tbf, I don't it was 100% the fault of shipping with SAL since there was also a strike going on causing shit to arrive later than expect

>>6073628
Why didn't you just call and ask them to forward it to you when they get it? Also, stealing mail even if it's misdelivered is illegal, wouldn't it be the same for packages?

>>6075047
>Also, stealing mail even if it's misdelivered is illegal, wouldn't it be the same for packages?
If you're responding to >>6073329, it is. Unfortunately it's practically impossible to prove the theft occurred in a misdelivery case since any surveillance devices are on their property, and the only witness is the postman who took it to the wrong address in the first place. I could take them to court if I caught them selling it, but I checked eBay and Craigslist and didn't see one being sold close enough to my address. It's also possible that they're gifting it to someone else.

>decide to use a third-party locker service because don't want to have to explain/lie to workmates about a figma delivery

>sweating bullets for a week

>have to take a taxi out to an industrial area past a shit part of town at lunchtime to pay the fee and collect it, almost wasn't going to bother

Everything just goes straight to work now, IDGAF and just tell coworkers its toys if they ask.
