Ammo purchase screw up

[Longwalkhome]

Ordered factory 9mm from a company I had ordered from before with good success. Great on shipping and letting you know when it's going to arrive.

Shipper tells me it will be an early delivery on Friday between 10am and 3pm.

Waiting for the truck and I get an email saying my ammo has been delivered at 11am.

No it wasn't so I try to track down where my ammo went.

Can't talk to a human when you call the shipper so I emailed my package didn't arrive even though the driver said it did.

Couple of hours in the process and my email got a human response calling me about my package.

She said the driver was asked about the package and he said he still had it but accidentally sent a delivered message to me.

Late afternoon he shows up saying he brought me the "good stuff" I ordered and apologized for the screw up.

My thinking is that if I had been busy doing something else and not paying attention that my ammo could have vanished to the gods.

Just because they say they divered it doesn't mean they really did.

Lemme guess, the name of the delivery company rhymes with, "Ed Fex"?



They have sucked on the last five deliveries they've made to my house…. UPS has been awesome, even USPS has been awesome.

"Ed Fex"….. must have a minimum IQ requirement of 90 for its workers and drivers.

I won't disparage an entire company over a bad driver, heck the gal was right on the driver making sure I got my ammo.

My only point was that just because we get an email saying our package was delivered it doesn't mean it was.

Some delivery services take a picture of the package on the porch but this service didn't.

I suspect if they tracked the truck and timed his movements with the email that he certainly wasn't at my house when he sent the email.

Anyway I got my ammo.

Fedex does this ALL of the time, the drivers will mark it as undeliverable or delivered to buy them an extra day.

A photo of the package on the porch doesn't mean they left it there, only that they set it (or a different box) down at some point.

I've had two different ammo shipments in the last 3 months get destroyed on the way message says something like "package damaged, undeliverable". We live out of town so we order a fair amount of stuff and the only time I've had this happen is with ammo. Things that make you go hmmm

UPS and USPS are unionized, FedEx is not. Just sayin'! .

Also fedex doesn't actually deliver the packages but rather subcontracts out door to door packaging. So there is a whole can of worms when you bid out deliveries to the lowest bidders.

Sounds like an honesty issue, not an IQ issue. People below average in intelligence can be honorable, honest, and hard working. People above average intelligence can be dishonest and/or lazy. You can't be a physicist with an IQ of 90. But all kinds of ordinary-person type jobs are fine. Such as drivers or delivery people. Store clerks, field hands. Honesty is critical in almost all jobs. Genius is needed only in certain jobs.

Also, 90-110 I Q is normal.

Wrong…. 90-110 is PAINFULLY average.


Just last week the gravel in my driveway scored115….

But is it honest and hardworking gravel? Or does it just goof off and lie around doing nothing? Oh wait...

A couple panics back I had ammo coming weekly from a place that used FedEx. Several times I got the "delivered" and no truck had been here. The exterior camera's came in REAL handy at this point. Called FedEx I could get a human but it took a while. They would start in with did I look around the house, check the neighbors and such. I would tell them I have camera's, your truck was never on my street. Suddenly hours later here would come the truck with my ammo. Was never sure if the driver was trying to see if they could get away with just keeping it or if the stuff had been delivered to the wrong place and they had to got get it back.

Sounds to me based on the comment that the driver knowingly 'messed up' and was hoping to get a shipment of ammo for himself for free.

I always have to wonder if that's the average and most of the people I surround myself with have 145+ IQ's then there are an awful lot of people around 50….

As many times as this happened to just me I had to start wondering about that. If some drivers were not trying to steal the stuff since the packages make it clear what is in them????

Getting them started can be a bit……. rocky.

What drives me crazy is the UPS thing, where they're supposed to deliver to the house, but instead they drop it at the Post Office and let USPS do the final leg. This is especially irritating as it usually happens on Fridays, and my post office has no 'counter businness' hours on Saturday; so instead of getting my stuff on Friday, I have to wait until Monday. It really pisses me off!!
