That Independence location is 2 miles from my house.

I know how you feel. I watched my laptop bounce around like that on its way from Apple. It sat in Indepence for a couple of days. I could have been there and back home in about 2 hours.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm going to the Vandaila location this morning to work on some equipment there.

While Im there, I'll go look around for your package........oh haha.

[Mista Bone]

well, it was just delivered.

Whomever created the label on the other end had my zipcode messed up

45321 when the correct is 45231......

Just comical to watch it bounce around.

Same here, I recieved my laptop to find it broken upon arrival, no more apple for me.

I have to wonder, do you really think that the shipper re-types all your info?

I bet not. I could be wrong, but maybe you input the zip wrong. (Assuming it was ordered, on line.)

[Mista Bone]

well, you've seen my dyslexic typing :)

But credit cards used online are reference to the billing zip code, therefore if I typed it wrong, I wouldn't have been billed.

I've had a tranny being shipped to me suffer the same fate, person at FedEx Kinko entered the wrong zip code. It went to Vandaila, then back to Fairfield.

Neither time was I called though, my phone number is on the label.

thats not true, i almost always ship to a different zip code than my billing zip code, we have a matchup with the zipcode as well here at the dealership, but that doesn't mean we won't ship,

i also had a mail order business for 5 years, same thing

i ordered some christmas stuff online, and the websites software, would automatically convert the zipcode to an incorrect zip. when i checked the tracking number (UPS) the status read "incorrect zip/address, notification sent to recipient". so i called the 1-800 number, and told them the tracking number, they located the packagesin the system, made the correction, and the stuff was here the next day.
i may be slightly biased from working for UPS, but it seems as though UPS's system is a bit more efficient than FedEx Ground...especially with the new Package Intercept option for shippers.
