So, I took a day off work to wait for a shipment from B&H Photo. A beauty
dish and a couple of grids for my studio lights.
Promised delivery was today, hence my taking a day from work.
So, the parcels missed the Fed/Ex truck this morning, and so my equipment is
sitting at their local facitiy, about a 10 minute drive from my house.
I called Fed/Ex to see if I could just pick the stuff up myself, thereby
saving them the trouble of delivery, and to let me get on with my day.
It turns out they can't do that.
They have to have a failed delivery attempt prior to being able to allow a
customer pick-up, but they won't be attempting a delivery now until Monday.
They did give me the option of calling the shipper to see if they would
change the delivery method to allow me to pick up the gear.
B&H, unfortunately, has no way (at least so they say) of changing the
delivery option, since they have no authority over how Fed/Ex does business.
I think I'll dig out my copy of Catch-22 and give it a read.
It could be worse, I could have chosen UPS.
So it goes.
