Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer

Well, the UPS driver did a drive-by and dumped the package into the package delivery room here at the apartment complex. The UPS website still shows that the package was delivered and that it's being returned.

I called Luxer One, the company that operates the room, and of course they could see that ...

Re: USPS 🤪

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, (have AI look that one up, kids,) despite what online retailers do I try to not use the shippers that start with the letter "U." ;)

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer

After two weeks it appears that this issue with this purchase is resolved. Yesterday UPS said they attempted their first actual delivery here at the apartments where I live. After two previous refusals of the package it looks like they actually brought it all the way here knowing that I had already ...

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer

On Saturday after seeing UPS had done a u-turn with the package and it was coming back to me for the third time, (it was still in Kansas,) I called them and rejected the delivery again. As per the norm the package would continue to Aurora, CO where it usually went after arriving from Kansas. Once in ...

Re: United Healthcare Free Oral-B E-Toothbrush Email Scam

In my case I'm not a United Healthcare customer, so the email in my spam folder was DOA, (dead on arrival,) and deleted. Yeah, it's just a phishing email that's blasted out to millions of people whose email address is scraped from somewhere.

Spyderco Sticker Spottings

I've been meaning to post this. Has anyone unexpectedly seen Spyderco stickers stuck somewhere? Tool boxes, laptops, and on cars are pretty much normal, but what about somewhere you wouldn't expect.

The reason I ask is back around the holidays I was back in my old haunts where I used to live. I ...

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer

The latest update on the UPS website says UPS is re-delivering the package to me for the 2nd time. This will be their 3rd attempt at delivering the package. (Initial attempt+two re-attempts)

I've spoken to UPS this morning and their customer rep said that it is the sender that determines whether ...

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer


I don't recall if it was UPS or FedEx, but I ordered a Mule through the Spyderco website and selected it to ship work signature confirmation, and Spyderco paid the shipping since it was over $150. Well, the courier completely ignored the request for signature confirmation and just left the package ...

During this entire process, you dealt with the retailer, not the American knife company that produced the knife. Correct?
I've tried to, correct. So far they have been non-responsive since an initial question I had for them 3 months ago.

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer




Have you tried this? Maybe too late now, since it sounds like they've already tried to deliver it. But it might be something to do in the future.

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer


Honestly, though it would aggravate me, too, it's not worth getting high blood pressure over. Let it come. If there is a problem, then go ballistic.


Well Dan, if I do allow it to be delivered and then there's a problem, I'd have no recourse with UPS or the retailer. All UPS would say is, "It's ...

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer



They only offer two options:


Man, this just isn’t a thing anybody wants to deal with. Companies just want to ship stuff. Amazon must use 5 different carriers to send me stuff just let this kind of stuff go. If you don’t like shipping to your residence find another option. It’s just not worth ...

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer



Any suggestions as to what I should do?


Call you credit card company and have them issue a charge back.

Unless you’re selecting the shipping carrier during checkout I think you’re just asking for trouble expecting a large retailer to do anything out of the ordinary.

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer


Does the company answer the phone? As the shipper they are the ones who have contracted with UPS. Perhaps they can make a request to have it returned to them that will stick.


No, there’s no phone number on their website. I did call that famous American knife company where they buy a lot of ...

Re: Got A Problem With An Online Retailer


Does your address not receive "U" shipments? As in, when it arrives at "U's" hub in your location it will be marked as undeliverable and returned to sender?

ETA: And it will be really helpful if we know whether "U" is UPS or the postal "service".


It is UPS.

I checked out an online retailer who claims they're one of the largest distributors of unique and exclusive knives from a very famous American knife company. I verified this through that very famous American knife company ...
