Our most recent worst nightmare shipping problem was with FedEx. We had a big job we had flown and the flight cost alone was as much as I paid for my 911. The place that process the film prints labels with the FedEx software so it makes a nice pretty label with all the bar codes and our address has not changed since the early 1980s.
Our address is 132 NE and FedEx delivered it to 132 NW same street. This was on Christmas Eve, eve. December 23rd. We were going to put the film on the scanner and let it run while we were off for Christmas. We had it shipped EARLY 8:00 AM first thing hurry hurry.
FedEx brings us the same size box from the same place all the time. The driver should know where to take it without even looking at the address.
At 9:00 AM I start calling the FedEX office. The weather is crappy, and everything is backed up. Their system shows it was delivered. They finally see that it was just left on the front porch of some house. We explained that we are not over there. With enough emphasis that we really need our package that is several hours overdue a supervisor jumped in her personal car and fetched the package and brought it to us. We finally got it on the scanner and we went home.
