what is up with UPS???

I ordered a set of shocks from Tennesee. They sent out out to my address in Dublin, CA through UPS 3 day select. I just checked the tracking and it is in South Carolina!!!!!

Here is a brief copy of my tracking.....

I ship with UPS everyday. Usually they are spot on but sometimes they can be a P.I.T.A.

 

Aha it's going further away from you.

 

Sounds like a drop ship from the place you purchased from. Location of parts warehouse.

 

They consolidate shipments with the same due dates going to the same destinations through their hubs. Higher-priority stuff goes through the pipe first. It will fly from SC tonight:

There is a Main Hub in West Columbia... When I ordered something from CA it flew from CA into West Columbia and then by truck to my house.

 

Ahhh.. Beat me to it. lol

 

let's hope so! It's suppose to be at my door step by end of day thursday so it still has to fly in then find its way onto a truck!

 

Settle down. You don't get to complain until your shit's late.

 

LOL! I know.....

 

^This- Who cares HOW it gets there as long as it DOES get there. Logistics is their problem...

 

unfreaking believable! Last night the box is in South Carolina and this morning it's out for delivery in San Ramon, CA!!!!!!!!

 

Wow, leave it to UPS to fix their own mistake, fly the package across the country overnight, deliver the package on-time and still piss off a customer...

 

It isn't a mistake. It is their system: a hub-and-spoke combination of ground and air. These planes fly across the country every night. It takes 5 hours. Not that hard. If they didn't have online tracking (which is a wonderful customer service), we'd all be oblivious to the logistical details it requires to run an operation like this.

 

yep, never was pissed, sorry if it came out that way, was more like WTF! I have ordered lots of stuff and have always tracked their locations but this was the first time I seen it head east and then west before. Always went the right direction and thought how freaking believable is that they can control all of this like that!

However, one can not control the way others read something cause you aren't able to see my facial expressions and tone.... Oh well..... still incredible to me.

 

It is incredible, especially when you really think about the amount of vehicles, fuel, personnel, technology, and facilities required to make this happen every day for what I think is an extremely cheap price. Anyone remember the Pony Express? OK, now I really sound like an old fart.

 

LOL,,,nope, but you aren't that much older than I am.....
