FedEx no better than UPS

Avrus:
Well I ordered a piece of glass from OneDayGlass in the US.  The pricing was fine, the shipping was a bit high but still less expensive than local.

Unfortunately the meat heads declared the value of goods + the value of the service to pack it + the value of the shipping costs.   :banghead:

I'm sure you can figure out the rest.  Brokerage fees are expensive and the rep from the company gives me some big long run around about how if the package was lost in shipping they'd need to be reimbursed the amount.

I tried to explain to them that you don't declare the value of goods + whatever service fees as well as the shipping fees.   At any rate they agreed to ammend the declaration document but I can see this turning into a big thing.

Why do shipping companies hate Canada?

In other news apparently FedEx attempted delivery of my checkerplate / diamondplate ... while I'm sitting here.  Curious I don't recall their truck pulling up.
Avrus:
And because it just isn't FedEx's day, they have no information about their "attempt" to deliver.  I explained that it would be difficult for me to miss a large FedEx truck out my front window.

I think I'm just going to go pick it up at their warehouse and call it a day.
Avrus:
Well now I know they're full of it.

   Delivery exception      
      
   CALGARY, AB     
      
   Customer not available or business closed 

It's now 5:24 and the guy on the phone at FedEx advises that the truck is already back at the depot.  That truck must have a quantum teleportation device built in, because it get across the city during rush hour in 40 minutes in a truck is a miracle.

Call and complain. They did that to me last year, I waited for 2 hours downstairs for my hdtv. When I finally went back up because they didn't show up, when I checked my email lol and behold  Delivery exception, he had supposedly shown up when I was downstairs  :laugh2:.
So I called and complained, and the guy delivered my tv the next day. (usually it's one person responsible for a certain zone)
