Sounds like every experience I've ever had with UPS. But I won't go into that rant.
I hope it shows up today, and in good shape, Phatty.

FEDEX does allow this option my friend, you can request to have it held at the station Please don't apply the same attributes to FEDEX as you do UPS they are different in fact FEDEX moves tons of OOOPS freight every day

What gets me is UPS is UNION and these drivers and emloyees are getting paid better than some professionals and they do stuff like this you wonder ifthey have any intelligence at all They have done it to me before exact same thing and I went to the OOOPS office and wouldn't leave until I had my guitar in hand
I try my best to avoid any funding of UPS.......... personal preference

I hope you get yours in good shape soon

Aaaaaaaaaah . You meant UPS in the thread title. I've spent all week looking at it and wondering what the opposite of "downs" had done to offend you !!!!!

I have had the same problems with FEDEX. I would see on the tracking system they would say it is delivered... I call and make a complaint and a few days later it shows up. They are the same kind of clowns with a different colored truck.

When I'm expecting something from UPS I stayed glued to the window if at all possible. I live right across the street from a local guitar shop. I was expecting a guitar and the UPS guy pulled up. Went running out to the truck to see him hand me a small puffy package with a CD in it. I asked if he had another package for me and he said no. I said the tracking # indicates it's out for delivery. He goes digging through the truck and comes out with my guitar, which had been packed in a Gibson box.
He said, 'good thing you said something cause I thought this was going across the street.' Didn't bother to ummmmmm look at the address.

Hope you get your guitar today. Let us know.

I've never had a problem with UPS...always been right for me. The driver(s) that do my deliveries know I'm a bass player, and anytime I'm expecting gear, I tell them a day or two ahead that it's important I get it. -Or- If I know I won't see the driver, I leave a signed note on the front door with instructions.

Hey xcentral34x,
My new Buttercream SR5 HH was at the Memphis hub last night. It came from some store in Cordorva. Can't wait!
