CGC shipped me Action Comics #1 Superman page, FedEx lost it, Help appreciated! 1 1

[Comicdey]

I have a package go missing USPS between Tampa and Sarasota. Tracked then nothing

 

 

 

 

And, even started your own investigation!

 

To no avail

 

 

[Darjis_]

multiple drivers I know make 6 figures

 

What parts of the country do they live/drive in?

How many years with the company?

What kind of hours per work week are they putting in?

 

 

 

And I believe an employee of Fed ex is also chimed in this thread

 

dats true. 14hrs a day, 5 days a week will pull u in that kinda dough, but trust me, u can forget about any sort of a social life (which is why I'm a comic nerd)(No time for chicks)

 

What good is money without time?

 

I tell myself that on a daily basis, but trust me, it aint easy to walk away from albeit its tempting at times. The divorce rate is also pretty high as you'd imagine.

Both my spouse and I work in film ... up that to 6, sometimes 7 days a week and that's our average work week. The same can be said about that career. However, the people whom I've met that successfully managed to keep their relationships alive tend to be ones who date / marry within that field because they get it. Your average 'normal' working person just doesn't understand why you have to work those hours.

 

Porno?

haha...no, we definitely wouldn't have to work those hours if we worked in porn.

Wanted to give this thread a little bump with a VERY odd experience I just had with Fedex. It isn't comic related, but still weird.

 

I ordered a home security system a week ago, and after installation, I decided I needed a glass break window sensor. I placed the order this past weekend, and the sensors were shipped via Fedex 2-day delivery. My package arrived today. I opened it up, and inside...six urine drug samples from a toxicology lab in Louisiana. It had the patients' info, SSN, drug results, etc. CRAZY!

 

The weirdest part is that the tracking number on the package is the tracking number for my security system. I called Fedex and the first woman understood the situation and was talking about how odd it was, she had never seen this happen, etc. She had to put me in touch with another department of Fedex. I explained the same thing to a different woman and she said someone would be by tomorrow to pick up the wrong delivery. After that, she was trying to hang up, but I told her I still needed the package I ordered. She asked for tracking, and I told her it was the tracking number of the urine samples.

 

Then I had to wait while she looked up the shipment. Her reply was, "Your package was delivered at 6:04 P.M. You might want to ask your neighbors if they saw a package since you're claiming you don't have it." I then told her the "package" was the urine samples and that my original package would keep showing up delivered because it was the same tracking number. She still didn't seem to understand and ended up telling me she would have to check with the shipping department and get back with me. Thankfully, the security company is sending me a replacement free of charge. There's no telling where my original order is right now. And to make it even weirder, the complete tracking info from Fedex is the correct route from the security company in Virginia to my home in NC, so I'm not sure how I got a package from Louisiana with the exact same tracking.

 

So all that to say, anymore news about the missing page?

[s14roller]

Wow, crazy story indeed!!!

Yep, this wins oddest Fedex experience of all-time! The question is, what are you going to do with the urine samples now?!

[wombat]

You could have really messed with someone. Put some crazy stuff in the samples.

That's what I told my wife.

 

Fedex is supposed to come pick up the samples tomorrow morning. I looked at the package, and it was overnight priority . Someone might be in trouble.

Call the lab. I'm sure they would want to know. They may be required by law to disclose to impacted parties where PHI/PII was inadvertently disclosed. Doubt this is the labs fault more likely Fed Ex screw up which will have a conduit exception and not be held liable anyway. You are in the clear.

Jimmers I'm going to mail you a bag of urine, check your tracking.

[Silver Surfer]

I would refuse to turn over the parcel [or at least make myself scarce] until such time as my parcel was delivered or they took the time and effort to ask your neighbors to see if it was missed delivered. I wouldn't deal with anyone but a manager and I would demand WTF was going on with their delivery guys.

Having worked in a lab that handled urine samples (I didn't work on them. . . I'm a histotechnologist, but these went to our cytologists), not only is the paperwork a huge issue, but the samples may not be usable, depending on the tests being performed.

The samples have been compromised,no way they are viable now. From a legal standpoint anyhow.

I don't have any tales of urine samples showing at my door unannounced but I do have a relatable story of completely moronic behavior on the part of a USPS driver.

 

 

I had a box with about a $1000 in slabs get delivered to my front doorstep about a month and a half ago, via USPS from Canada.

 

The box was sent with $1K worth of insurance, signature required.

 

It was left on my front doorstep.Despite the shipping label clearing reading, in bold faced type:

 

"ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED".

 

The only thing stopping someone from picking it up and walking away with it was a set of 10 steps, and I dunno, 200 feet of sidewalk leading up to my front door.

 

Luckily, I live in a decent neighborhood and it was a pretty large box, as well.

 

The more I think about it, the more I think I should have reported the package as not delivered and just kept the damn box, cracked open the books and re-subbed them.The sender and myself would not be out any money, since insurance was paid for.

 

That would teach them a lesson, I'm sure the driver would take some heat for dropping off a $1000 insured packaged, when it was supposed to be signed for.

 

Not that I would actually do that, because that is just theft, any way you slice it.....but it would serve USPS, and that driver, right.

 

 

[Awax]

Build a fire pit moat.

 

Problem solved if it happens again.

Did you check to see if the driver signed for it themself? That is a frequently abused loophole.

[chrisco37]

I want to know if any of the test results came up positive. And for what?
