ksdaddy Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Got a guitar coming. It hit the local terminal at 8 this morning. UPS does not deliver today. It will sit in their warehouse until January 4th. I can't type the expletives that are boiling inside me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an order that's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow via UPS so looks like we'll be in the same boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could pick it up? I've done that before myself, although I live in Canada, maybe you cant do that in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 They deliver on weekends now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I chatted online with a rep and they said the only service they have today as to delivery or pickup is the air stuff. The terminal is about 12 miles from my house. Oh well. I've got plenty going on without getting to know a new guitar too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm enjoying the time off work though so can't say I'm upset at UPS for taking today and tomorrow off. Waiting isn't fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm waiting for heart worm and frontline for our dog. It was supposedly shipped the beginning of December, and the wife tracked the order, we will get it at the end of January. Great Scott, it's not coming from Hong Kong or China, just a few states away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-RAM Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I can't type the expletives that are boiling inside me right now. Yeah, I hear you - the day after Christmas (last Saturday) our draft inducer ground to a halt, rendering our gas furnace useless. We've been in a stretch of weather not rising above 30 degrees, so I tore the motor apart, cleaned and lubed it as best I could, but the bearings told me this 'fix' would be short-lived. I found a $110 replacement in Pennsylvania on Sunday, so I ordered it UPS 3-Day Select, figuring I'd have it by Wednesday, worst-case Thursday of this week. But when I received the tracking number Monday, it said "Estimated Delivery: Monday, Jan. 4" I got pretty much the same response as you - I was told UPS doesn't count the drop-off day as a delivery day, and during the week between Christmas and New Year's, the ONLY priority packages being delivered are 1) Overnight Air, and 2) 2nd-Day Air. Since I didn't want my family and myself to freeze, I found a motor in the closest town for $311. I guess when the first one shows up, I'll list it on eBay - pay return shipping and a 20% restocking fee? No, thank you. But, that's life - as aggravating and frustrating as it can be, I still much prefer it to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Opposite experience here. I ordered a Guild flattop Sunday night with UPS two-day shipping (St Louis to the Oregon coast). Paperwork was generated Monday evening, and it arrived Wednesday morning (yesterday) in perfect condition. If at all reasonably priced, I'll go with two or three day shipping every time, and have had great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do FedEx whenever I can. Have a Happy New Year in spite of not having you new Axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I ordered some damascus steel billet on the 27th and expected to see it in a few weeks. It arrived on the 28th by Royal Mail. Well impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveT2 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 It'll be like Christmas in January. I just visited my new LP in the store. I'm picking it up when I get moved into my new place. Hopefully about 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
