I saw this story earlier and just didn’t care.
Then I read a Daily Mail article about it and had to comment:
Let me provide some insight here that I didn’t garner from comments:
UPS crapped on its employees in August with the spousal healthcare elimination, ostensibly due to Obamacare. But you won’t read about that in any of these articles.
Would YOU be a happy & motivated employee this Christmas???
The Grinch isn’t UPS: Focus frustration on the White House & Congress.
(footnote: We voluntarily withdrew from ‘Commercial Christmas’ 10 years ago...I still don’t care)
“UPS has been great here...”
Brown drivers, although in a hurry (their job), are always courteous and helpful. They generally even wave as they drive past, if we’re out in the yard.
FedEx is just there...almost like an interloper.
Saturday night, a couple changed their minds and decided to join us for Christmas dinner at our place. I told them that I had to check to see if I could let more from Allen Brothers first. or I wouldn’t have enough quail. Early Sunday morning I went to Allen Brothers website and sure enough it showed that I could get the additional quail delivered on the 24th. I ordered and paid the $50 next day air delivery...UPS by the way. The shipment never arrived. luckily the other couple made other plans after I told them the dilemma. Today, I left a note on the front door to reject the delivery and return to sender. the dry ice will have already melted Tuesday night and today the food will be spoiling. In part, I blame Allen brothers for guaranteeing what they could not and in part, UPS for mis-routing the parcel. the food cannot be recovered and while not angry. I hope that Allen brothers will make some sort of concession for the $200 loss to me. It happens. I’m thankful for Jesus. The plans of men fail. but Jesus endures.
I certainly think that would be an early enough order time. I suspect the fault is the seller and not the delivery company.
Between the vendor and the shipping company, the concession should be $200.
Nothing to do with "procrastination." < sarc >
We gotta remember most, if not all, of the whiners are Obama voters. They're entitled.
When something is "guaranteed," they expect delivery in the middle of a nuclear war; or a hurricane; or an ice storm.
These mental midgets promise to use the USPS, or FedEx, or some magic fairy delivery system that flies in different planes, in different weather, use different trains and trucks and travel in Obama-promised weather.
Speaking of which, why don't they ever whine about Obama's "guarantees?"
Gheez!
entire order including shipping was refunded to my amex. great company to do business with
