Their website brags about the fact that they deliver on Saturdays, unlike their competition, but they failed to mention that they don't deliver on Mondays. I did some research and apparently they don't. I was then informed that my package will probably be delivered tomorrow between 8am and 8pm, and it requires a signature, so I have to be at home all day, and listening for the truck, or they will not leave it. This is starting to turn into a big pain in the ass, but hopefully it will all be over tomorrow.

How's your day going?

Not to make a joke but a lot better than yours

Although I'm now feeling a little nauseous over this crap Fed-Ex is giving you

. It seems I'm sharing your pain

Thanky for the moral support fellers.

As disappointed as I am to not be getting it today, at least I know that I will not be getting it today, so I can quit checking the tracking every few minutes. Luckily I'm off work the next several days. I think that I might just get drunk early to pass the time, so I can get in bed early and get up early to watch for the truck.

Sorry about it not showing up today. At least you will be home to prevent this.

Yes, I've seen that many times. If you go to youtube you can find dozens of videos like that. I saw one where the delivery guy waltzed up to the porch, then slammed the package onto the ground like he just made a touchdown, and another where the guy walked up to the porch, dropped the package, took a quick look around, then whipped it out and started pissing!

Apparently they can hold it for me to pick up, but that requires an extra day of processing, and since they don't deliver on Mondays, that would probably mean waiting until Wednesday, whereas if I let them deliver it to me, I should probably have it tomorrow.

Me too! All I have to do is sit on my ass and wait for it to show up, plus I'll get it a day sooner than driving to pick it up. I believe that's the way to go.

Thanks Travis.

Me too(obviously). It was supposed to arrive Saturday and I got all excited, then I assumed it would show up today so I was all excited, now it should be here tomorrow, and I'm getting all excited again. I'm getting really tired from being so excited, and angry from being so disappointed.

Now I'm having to resort to beer and smoke as sleep aids tonight because of fedex.

frogmort · 03-27-2012, 04:23 AM

Well, Shit.

My receiver just arrived in Nashville. I'm not sure how familiar some of you guys are with the southeastern region of the US, but I've ordered many things from Florida before, and they pretty much always come straight up through Georgia, to Chattanooga, to Knoxville. Nashville is hundreds of miles west of here from Orlando Florida, plus the slightly shorter trip here from there. It still shows a delivery date of tomorrow, but they pulled that crap on me last Saturday too.

Well, maybe you'll get it by next weekend.

Morning Russ.

I ordered it from accessories4less.

Yeah,

I saw that last night.

I started typing a response,

then just deleted it.

I was pretty

and might have said something I regretted.

On the bright side, it made it to Knoxville a couple of hours ago, and showed that is out for delivery just a few minutes ago.

I just called Fedex to have them relay to the driver exactly where I live(my house shares a driveway with my neighbor), and told them exactly how far off the main road it is, the color of my house, the make, model, and color of my car, and gave them my phone number, and told them I would be here all day. Since it requires a signature, I didn't want to take any chances of missing it today.

Pictures coming shortly... I hope!

Hi Frogboi.....OhOh you forgot to tell them you would be wearing a green robe with it open in front.

Does the camera have a strong battery in it?

It's a good thing you held your tongue whilst being intoxicated

. Travis is a great guy, he was just having a little fun

and tried to lighten the situation

I love it

It reminds me of me (especially when it came to my subs). I think I stood on my terrace looking down for hours ..... The view is still embedded in my mind

The only camera I have is my crappy cellphone. I took all the pics in my gallery with it. My friend has a Rebel, which is really nice. He took my screenshots in my gallery. I would love to get him to come over to take some pics, but he doesn't get out much. He's only about 30, and has a wife and four, or five kids. I can't keep track of them all, because they keep poping them out, so my cellphone will have to do for now.

Actually, that's not far from the truth!

I had my front door open, and every time I heard a loud truck go by, I would run outside.

Wow, that's quite a view! You're way up there.

Well, I got it!

I ran halfway down my driveway to meet them. This thing is heavy and massive!

I've already taken some pics, and hooked it all up. I'm going to upload my pics right now. Gimmie a minute.
