Badger Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Well, poop. Fedex lost my books. I have them shipped to a shipping company so that they do not sit on my front porch for a few hours. Instead, Fedex just delivers them to some random business and cannot locate them. Just to be clear, not Heritage's fault. These are the golden age books that are missing and presumed stolen. These are the copper books If you see them listed please let me know. I will update this thread with the police report once I get it. Thanks for any help you can give!

Telegan Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 FedEx is weird. Maybe it's the drivers, but I generally don't have issues with UPS. With FedEx, there have been about 3 times where the driver just leaves the package on my porch after signing for it himself on "signature required" deliveries (he doesn't even wait 30 seconds after ringing the bell for me to answer before he does this and is back in his truck). This last time I caught him in time, opened the door and signed for it. I look at the receipt of it that I get online and it had the name of someone who doesn't even live here having signed for it. Just bizarre stuff. Hopefully you find your stuff. At least you won't have to pay for the comics, but I'd still be pissed if I didn't get what I bid on.

Not sure if this is regional but sometimes fedex delivers packages to my local us postal service branch who in turn then deliver them to my address. Might be the case with you too, hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatcrunch Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope they turn up! I had FedEx lose a package of mine as well. Even though it said signature required, it's likely the driver signed it himself (our property manager tells me that they do that sometimes, and we even had a tenant post a note on the front door imploring the driver to use the signature service as it's intended). Of USPS, UPS, and FedEx, they seem to be the worst. Sorry again about your lost book! Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnexus Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 UPS and FedEx Express are union workers making up to six figures. Not the kind of job you want to be fired from. FedEx Ground are contract workers making low wages based on how many packages they deliver. So the quality will not be there. That all being said, I hope you find your books. Keep bugging FedEx, they should have a GPS tag of the scan. Badger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tec-Tac-Toe Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 As I have often reported on these boards, in my area, except for one driver that is unfortunately no longer assigned to my route from what I have seen, FedEx is horrendous. As I previously noted, my last shipment from CGC was left at the house next door with folks who recently purchased the home. When they notified me and I collected the box they informed me that no one by the name that was used to sign for the delivery resided there. Clearly, the driver that delivered the box signed for it. I complained to FedEx and they followed-up with me and I complained some more. Since my complaint the FedEx deliveries have been fine (no CGC boxes) with the driver ringing the door bell and waiting to hand the package to me or one of my family members. Being wholly cynical about FedEx, I don't believe this improved service will last and sooner rather than later they will ignore any future complaints I may make.

Beastfeast Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Also, Clinks shipping prices are ridiculousssssss. Have they ever justified the pricing or is it just blatant shipping profiteering?

I just won a piece of art for $195 and was surprised I only got charged $20. I think if you get past $500, the fees really go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazirite Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm sorry man, for future purchases you can request HA ship via USPS only, between that and getting a PO Box for CGC returns, I have successfully cut FedEx out my life.

That's even dumber than I thought. I mean, you can get a deeper discount than that just by using Pirateship. So odd.

Might be the case with you too, hopefully I appreciate the sentiment but Fedex has told Heritage it is gone. I really am bummed as I rarely buy things just for resale. They always go into my personal collection for at least a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many USPS locations now offer with their PO box service the ability to utilize the actual street address syntax with your box # so any shipping carrier service can deliver to you. This is the best route to go as the destination will be blatantly obvious to any potential drivers who are not familiar with the area especially versus say dealing with condo/apartment type complexes or a business/industry/strip mall type destinations.
