Will never, EVER, use FedEx again...

[Rausch]

Sent my PS3 back for repairs.

Weeks pass, I'm tracking it, it's supposed to be delivered last thursday.

Never comes.

I (mistakenly) assume they don't deliver on weekends.

The wife leaves for 15 minutes to pick up McDonalds and when she comes back she brings in a note on the door saying they tried to deliver but couldn't, come pick up your package.

The front door was wide open and I was no more than 15 feet from it the entire time.

Whatever.

I call and get someone who doesn't speak english well enough to understand. Not an immigrant with an accent, a completely incomprehensible blubblering fool I honestly can't understand.

First time I've ever angrily stated "transfer me to either your supervisor or someone who can speak better ****ing english!"

I was transferred to a woman with a heavy mexican accent ( ) who, oddly enough, could answer my questions.

Apparently Sony Inc. ships their packages super duper high priority and a 3rd party was hired out to deliver mine (read: any asshole with a van.) Even though this guy was tracked to still be in my town I have to now pay (****ing PAY) to have him leave the package here today.

And here's the kicker. Even though it's here TODAY, and the store is open TODAY, I can't pick up my ****ing 4 week late PS3 until ****ing tuesday because "HIGH PRIORITY" shipping only operates on specific days of the week.

I have either talked to the dumbest customer service rep alive or FedEx is total $#it.

Either way I'm done with them...

Tell them it's medical equipment - It's what I'd do - they'll turn around.

Might have worked.

I have found that people that sort of politely freak out on them on their facebook page get fellated and apologies.

I see - well is their a landing spot - such as an office where it'll be dropped for pick up tonight? - sometimes that's an option.

Is a PS3 really even worth sending off for repairs?

Mine was one of the last few that played 1/2/and PS3 games.

That's 20 years of gaming I've got that I still enjoy. It will also be the last backwards compatible system.

Ever.

And since I have a Mac emulation is pretty much a no-go. The few offerings for joysticks suck and there's even less in the way of emulation.

What was a 10 day leave-to-return process is now going on 6 weeks and a day.

7 weeks before I get my machine...

What the **** did you just ****ing say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ****ing words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, ****er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ****ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little bitch ass was gonna get yo homie Rausch.

Well, it's not like the USPS is offering anything better - but I thunk they're trying a lot harder these days. And UPS prolly has the same relative issues too.

Seems like the fail in all of this, and not your fault, was going "on the cheap".

That being said, it is frustrating...

Dear Rambo,

Why the comma in the sentence I've highlighted?


Signed,

Eh, it's spring. Go outside and do something.
