I got a computer off ebay last week and the seller said they'd ship it last Thursday. Its taken a long time to get here so I decided to track it on Fed Ex's site. Well it was shipped alright, but to someone on the other side of the city! I called Fed Ex up to tell them about this and they're going to try and get it back. I also e-mailed the seller to make sure they put the right address on the box. Haven't heard for him yet. Anyway, if they can't get it back I get my money and money from Fed Ex for all the trouble. Hope all goes well.And my advice to you, STAY AWAY FROM FED EX! Current Mac Collection:

Don't blame FedEx yet, it could have been the seller's fault.

Fed EX is cheaper... although they might be why my 6100 was so ugly when I recieved it a week later than the REST of the load I had bought....Official 68k videographer

One of the first eBay items I bought was shipped by UPS. It took over a month to arrive. After a few weeks of waiting, I got the tracking number from the seller, which iShould have done in the first place. When I finally got on the tracking webiste, the log went as follows:origin scan somewhere in California
on route to New York
arrival scan in New York
departure scan from New York
on route to California
arrival scan in California
departure scan from California
on its way to Illinois
arrival scan in illinois
departure scan to somewhere else in Illinois
arrival scan to somewhere else in Illinois
delivery scan to where I used to live in Illinois So, to sum up, UPS shipped the package from California to New York, back to California and then finally from California to Illinois, where it should have ended up in the first place. The shipping label was clearly marked with my correct address, so it was all UPS's fault. Then you wonder why shipping is so expensive. The Lightning Stalker Performa 631CD, 7.5.5

I never had a problem with fedex. Best part is that if I am not home when they try to deliver I can just go to their hub 2 minutes down the road and get the package when I do get home.

Got Bad News,
It seems the place they shipped it to is a store. And it has been almost more then a week and still no signs of getting it.  Luckily the seller will give my mony back if I don't get it.Current Mac Collection:
