    Default God I Hate Fedex

    Where ARE YOU, you bastard!!!

    Bring me my semi-hollow!

    I have Sweetwater telling me that if my order shipped yesterday, it should get to me today. I have FedEx telling me "Your order has shipped. Check back later for further details."

    That's been the message since 7:30 this morning. I swear they only update their online tracking once every second or third day. Lazy asses.

    The anticipation is killing me. Every time I hear the elevator, my brain goes "Is it the delivery guy?"

    Yeah, online tracking drives me nuts. But sweet score. I love me some Gibson hollow bodies. That thing is probably gonna be the pug's nugs.

    Fedex is the good one. Their online tracking is actually a tracking service even if it is sometimes a few hours out-of-date. USPS is the one that sucks rocks. Their tracking service doesn't track. It can only verify if the package was picked up and shipped. Whatever happens in the meantime and how long the meantime is is anyone's guess.

    I went outside for a few minutes.

    There was, in the immediate vicinity: A UPS truck, a DHL truck, a FedEx truck, and as I stood there, the USPS drove by.

    I am on high alert.

    Cool. I've thought of getting a 137 Classic before. I like the fact that they're set up like a Les Paul, rather than a lot of other semi hollows with Bigsbys, trapeze, or floating wood bridges.

    I will be on a plane if that is the case.

    I am now 8 minutes past the time I would have normally left work.

    Adam, I didn't mention it in your original thread, but that guitar is beyond awesome! I saw one of those being used on TV (SNL or something), and I immediately wanted one.

    Awesome guitar, congrats! Rhonda's cool with it?

    Hm. I ordered some CDs last week to give as presents. They arrived yesterday. I checked the OOPS...*ahem*...UPS tracking, and it said, "On Truck For Delivery." It was delivered about 30 minutes later.

    Missing scans/late updates happen pretty often I think...my aforementioned cd came in today, but usps tracking says it's still in Dallas.

    That's because USPS doesn't offer tracking, they offer delivery confirmation.

    FedEx blows... plain and simple. They don't offer legit insurance on musical instruments and shouldn't be used period. I've had more issues with them than even everybody's favorite boys in brown.
