my PS3 FedEx shipping story as of now... and the reason why i wont use fedex again
it sucks cuz its all SCEA uses if i woulda known what was going to happen i woulda told sony screw it and fixed my PS3 myself (after all it only needed a new HDD)
here is my story i call sony 4/14 they send empty box via FedEx 6 days later it arrives a little banged up with puncture holes (probably from being dropped at some point during shipping) 4/20 i sent PS3 in the already damaged box to Sony(SCEA) 4 days pass and i hear nothing on my PS3 i call Sony they've yet to receive it so i give them a few more days i call sony on april 28th they got it in at 8am that morning (ok ima point out right now that it took it 8 days to travel to Fort Worth TX from Napa Valley CA...WTF!) i called and checked on the 30th sony had fixed my PS3! (not that hard) it took Fedex till the 2nd of whats now May to pick it up (so a full 2 days later). Ive been tracking it through FedExs crappy tracker i checked it on the 1st they didnt have the package so i check it on the 2nd they still didnt have it i checked it again later that day they finally got it around 12pm then it disappeared when i checked it again a few hours later to verify it with a family member, it went back to saying my package was still being processed or sum crap. i said F it and went about my day checked it again on the 3rd HEY! thay have it again and it says ill be receiving it on the 5th! i was stoked i was getn my PS3 back in 2 days. I was all excited that i went and got some accessories for it (mainly an inercooler so it wont ever overheat and a few other things) went home called it a day. I checked back on the 4th(yesterday) shoulda never done that now it says ima get my PS3 back on the 6th, a day later, (im an antsy person) so this kinda pissed me off alot and im still pissed off about it i'll probably check the tracker later 2day 5/5 hopefully it changes... again, but hopefully for the better this time lol
Im kinda glad FedEx doesnt run on tips lol
NO! actually i wish they did cuz if so im sure they'd be outta business already, Sony woulda used UPS and i'd have my PS3 by now lol
So do i like FedEx? only if I have all the time in the world, so other words no I hate there slow ass rate of shipping if it was UPS standards i woulda had it by 4/3 and no later then 4/4... everytime I use UPS they come the day I arrange for a pick up (or sent out the same day i drop it off depending on the situation) either or its always in transit the day of... and usually takes the package 4 days to travel to its destination I used to ship and receive things to and from Port Angeles all the time
... keep in mind the day my PS3 shoulda shipped or picked up from fedex driver, shoulda been 4/30 the day the shipping order was placed at least it woulda been with UPS, so i start the whole process on the 30th like it SHOULD BE, its not my fault FedEx didnt pick it up till the 2nd... so, so far this has taken 6 days in standard shipping time. all 3 shipments have taken more then 5 days therefore FedEx shouldnt get to EVER say 5-7 days, FedExs new slogan should be "you'll get it in about a week... or when ever" lol
ok ive let this story/rant go on for to long now. so my summary of FedEx is they are slow, misleading and i will never go through them again and if i have to send something to Sony or to someplace that uses fedex ima pay for other services or just not go through with it and ill take and/or pick up the package to and/or from the destination myself! lol
