Any update from Fedex? That really sucks!
Spent more than 2 hours on multiple phone calls today. It arrived at the sort facility this morning, but they refused to make any effort to deliver today since it wasn't the right type of package for Saturday delivery. I offered to drive to the facility, 40 minutes away, to pick it up myself, but they wouldn't open the container it was in even though the facility was staffed and sorting packages. Spoke with multiple "customer advocates" but they didn't do anything. They said it should be delivered Monday. I asked for confirmation of what the FedEx website says about indirect signature. The website says I can leave a signed, dated letter on the door instructing the driver to leave it on the porch. Took day off work on Friday, but can't do it again. Was told that is only on 2nd attempt, even though the website makes no such distinction. Asked if it can be given deliver by 8 am service, again told no. I'm going to leave the note on the door and hope they leave it. I plan to watch for a delivered update on tracking and take my lunch at that time to go get it off the porch. I won't have time until next weekend to get back to the facility where they leave packages for pickup after failed delivery attempts.
I called Verizon to let them know FedEx was refusing to make any effort to correct their screw up and honor the shipping that was paid for by Verizon. I know it's stupid of me to be all butthurt about a VERY first world problem, but to see their lack of concern or effort to correct it was appalling. I'm just glad I wasn't expecting an overnight delivery that was time sensitive. When I ordered my 4S a number of years ago through Verizon, it was being delivered UPS. I had put in a request to hold it at a UPS Store and it caused an exception and delay in delivery. When I asked what happened, I learned it was completely my doing by requesting the change, but they pushed it through and delivered on Saturday to make up for my error.
