Angry What's wrong with shipping companies?

Rant On:
I have had 2 shipments screwed up this week.
#1 My new engine was supposed to be here yesterday (thursday). Called yesterday it was at the Charlotte Terminal. Ok, I asked them to mark it "hold" at the augusta terminal, soooooo where is it this morning?
Greenville. Go Figure!
#2 My new bumper gets shipped to the wrong address, so now I have to wait for it to be shipped back and then shipped to me again. Not like I wanted to paint it this weekend or anything...

It's because you have Toyota in your handle.

Someone already has Banzairx7, I used to use that as my car name in the 80's when I auto-x. I ran a 2.0 Liter 2TG with dual 45 TWM carbs.

Cause they are stupid?

Man, talk about a rant...
I ordered some airline tix through Yahoo Travel (Travelosity in disguise), and I find out I could not take the eTicket option - first time this has happened to me in over half a dozen times I've done this.&nbsp Fine...&nbsp Welp, FexEx 2nd day was the CHEAPEST method at $14.95!&nbsp A 4" x 10" piece of 100# card stock is going to take $15 to get to me!!!&nbsp Pissed off #1.&nbsp Yahoo Travel gave me a tracking number so that I can check the status (paid for yesterday).&nbsp So today I check the numbers, well, what do you know - it arrived within 5 miles of me at 10am THIS MORNING.&nbsp What does the status say?&nbsp Basically the package got their too early, so they are sitting on it at the delivery hub!&nbsp WTF???&nbsp Pissed off #2.&nbsp That did it - it was bad enough I hated UPS to begin with, but FedEx goes on the **** list now.

I realize there is a logic to this, but having customer tracking where the customer can see all of this shoots them all in the foot.&nbsp Why can't they be nice and skip the extra day?&nbsp The customer ends up happy, and you remember good things like that!&nbsp No, they gotta be dumbasses and dictate protocol to you...

Hope you're all having a nice day, causing having the flu and going through this **** makes me want to go back into bad and don't want to wake up.
