hookah hippie Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Hello my friends So I placed an order from hookahjohn for a few reasons. He has competitive prices, nice guy in handling customer service and finally maybe one of the biggest perks, I live about an hour from him so I have gotten all my packages the next day. EXCEPT THIS TIME Now John shipped same day like he usually does. I got my tracking number and this package hasn't moved since the 18th the date it was picked up by fedex. Its the 23rd already and I have a terrible hunch it is lost in the mail. I am losing my mind I want to get my K Cherry on. Damn you fedex. Anywho, anyone know a way to deal with this should I call fedex? What have you done in similar situations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have called fedex before. Lost a package once. Turned out it fell next to something that blocked it's view and was stuck in a transfer point somewhere. But calling usually expedites things.

Stuie Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Best advice when calling.... start a bowl and find a comfy chair.... it's never a quick call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I was thinking that I hate calling giant companies it takes forever. "The customer is always right as long as he always agrees with us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A13lackFish Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'm and ebay powerseller, sometimes there is just a delay for tracking updates. Give it another week then call and give them the WTF?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU Smoker Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 but if he lives an hour away he should have got the package even if it never updated online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookah hippie Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Okay so while in class today I got a phone call from a blocked number. I went outside to answer the phone and it was a women who said her name was colleen and she works for a furniture company in Seattle Washington and that she has my box of tobacco. Now I need to figure out how to handle this. She gave me her office address where the package arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Call Fedex and tell them your brother’s kidney is in that box and you need it tomorrow for the transplant. Seriously, call them and raise hell. Fedex should get it to you tomorrow. They owe you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 i ordered a bunch of nakhla from mahir and iirc, it was delivered sometime around october. still hasn't arrived yet. i'd say it's pretty lost. note: mahir resent another package to me, replacing nearly all the lost tobacco.

Milk With Pulp Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I used to work for Fed Ex Freight myself, Bigger items shipped, thus my last day before I started my new job at sygma, was unloading a truck full of ducati's, 1098's, monsters, etc it was at least 15 ducatis. Each one loaded up to a different truck going to a different place, to fuck up that bad and ship it to a different state is pretty damn hard to do, You have to match up Pro #'s then confirm the address from your Bill's (paperwork with the information to the shipping label on the package before scanning it xD) So somebody will get a point and a ass chewing for your package. That is shitty man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Sorry to hear about the troubles man, but you could leave it in Seattle and I'll go pick it up... It could be a late bday present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashes87 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Things getting lost is why I hate shipping stuff so much. It annoys the hell out of me and just ridiculous. I had a job based on cell phones getting lost in shipping. Do you know how annoying it is to file a claim on a phone lost in shipping??? Getting back on topic, like everyone else has said, call them and raise hell about it because a package winding up in the completely wrong state is just unacceptable.

hookah hippie Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Okay, I called up fedex and they apologize for the inconvenience and they said that they will attempt to retrieve the package and then request express delivery (which sounds like ship it ground any way) at least this is getting resolved and i want to throw a shout out to john who attempted to help me with my problem today thanks brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 After 9 days extra of waiting...its here. It was kind of exciting because I couldn't remember exactly what I ordered so I was like sweet I got that flavor and such.
