They “lost” a $1300 computer monitor I was returning because it had multiple dead pixels. Tracking was weird, there was a “delivery exception” and it showed up 3 days later than originally expected.
Monitor company said the box arrived empty.
FedEx wouldn’t even talk to me about it because I wasn’t the one who ordered the shipping, Monitor company was. Monitor company accused me of sending them the empty box, routing me to their fraud department, unwilling to act as an intermediary to FedEx.
Had to dispute the charge with my credit card to get it resolved, a process that took about 4 months. Thank god for AmEx.
It’s like the packages get to the last mile warehouse a day early, so the system says “it’s here, let’s send it a day early”. Then some idiot in either the warehouse or on the truck sees the package and says “oh this wasn’t scheduled to be delivered till tomorrow? Fuck that, it’s not going on the truck till tomorrow”
Happened so many times for me with FedEx now, I just disregard any updates they send.

b34k@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Scientists of Lemmy, how would you standardize or improve cooking recipes?3·8 days agoSure, we could say viscous liquids can use mass. I’d say most liquids with a viscosity close to water will be easier to measure out by volume than risk over pouring when going right into weigh boat / mixing bowl.

The woman and the Tesla driver “exchanged words” before he got out of the Tesla and assaulted the woman and her mother, 35, who was a passenger, police said. The Tesla driver then fled.

If they’re made with the same components, that’d carry more weight than simply being made in the same city.

Yeah these guys outsourced all their CS reps to India, so trying to get through to someone helpful was like talking to a brick wall.
At least now there’s 2 companies I know to never again use.
