What the FedEx?

Written by

Last Thursday I ordered 1,000 rounds of 9mm from CheaperThanDirt.com. On Saturday (Nov 12), FedEx delivered…500 rounds of 9mm. The manufacturer packages the ammo in 500 round boxes, so I was supposed to get two boxes instead of one.

Called CTD and they verified they shipped two boxes. Customer Service also gave me the tracking number for the second box and said it would probably come on Monday. I figured the driver just didn’t realize I had two identical packages but would figure it out Saturday night.

Well, it’s Thursday now and I still don’t have my ammo. Went to track the package, and, well…

How does a package that originates in Louisiana and destined for Tennessee wind up in California? Especially when at one point it was within 25 miles of it’s destination and the other package in the shipment was delivered?

I had that happen once with UPS. Came from CA, got to Bowling Green, KY (where I lived at the time), and instead of being delivered…..went to a different part of CA.

Last time I ordered from CTD the tracking number showed my package should have been delivered to my house but I never got it. My wife is usually always home and never saw them deliver it. After a couple of days I contacted FedEx and they put a tracer on the package. The next day a neighbor across the street brought it over and said they had delivered it to his house but he had been too busy to get it me. :/

“Wait! Come back, little package!” I’ve had that happen a few times.

Probably hitched a ride with another package on a cargo flight and was scanned on arrival.
