Re: [Elecraft] UPS vs FedEx

2019-12-25 Thread Doug Turnbull
Dear OMs and YLs,
 I am sorry to hear of these problems but let me tell you that my
KPA1500 was delivered from California to Ireland in four days.   It and all
the packaging were in perfect condition.I paid the UPS man with my
credit card when the delivery arrived to our door.   This payment was for
all the legitimate EU and Irish taxes.   It was all very easy and most
satisfactory.   I have only good to say for UPS.I know a FedEx driver
and have only good to say for them as well.  So it is best to give good and
bad experiences.

Quite the opposite here ...

I deal with multiple vendors in my business and simply won't buy from any
that ships via the PTA company FedEx.

I was a UPS driver for 27 years. I'm sorry you are having problems with
your delivery.

That being said, I have to say that it is the busiest time of the year for
delivery companies. You may have a vision of your package sitting on a
shelf, all by itself.  That is not the case! your package is there in the
customs house with 10's of thousands of other packages. The system is
overwhelmed. I doubt FedX could really do any better ant this time of year.
I know you are excited to get your new amp, but please have some patience.

There are currently hundreds of UPS and FedX drivers on the big road (on
Christmas day) trying to get things to where they need to be.

Thanks
