I got a FW16 in batch two. I got notification that my card had been charged on a Monday, woke up Tuesday with a shipping notification and an estimated delivery of Thursday, followed the tracking to see my package go from Taiwan to ATL via Alaska, all by the end of the day. And then woke up on Wednesday to an email alert telling me to expect delivery by the end of the day. I had my FW16 by noon on Wednesday, a day earlier than estimated, with my laptop traveling across the globe in basically one day.
Contrast. I purchased a second USB-A module the day after my FW16 arrived. The package started its journey to me from NJ on February 23. I still donāt have it. Tracking shows that it made it to the ATL area by about February 25, but ever since it has just been bouncing from distribution center to distribution center. So it took a couple of days to get within 30 miles of me, but USPS canāt make that last step.
Obviously this is now a FW problem. This is squarely on the good olā USPS. Iām not in desperate need for the module so now Iām sort of curious to see how long the post office can take to get the package to me. Iām beginning to feel like they never will. I think it is going to end up being returned to sender because they evidently cannot find my town.
Ugh. Iāve never had a good experience with FedEx except for my FW16. Your experience is what I usually get from FedEx. Or Iām home all day waiting on my delivery when I get an text notification saying that they attempted delivery and nobody was home.
Years ago (probably 15 years ago) I was waiting on a part that was sent overnight so I could get a piece of equipment at a fire station back online. I was sitting near the door, waiting. And waiting. And waiting. Eventually, I got the notice that they āattemptedā delivery. Luckily, I was able to arrange to pick it up at like 8:00 PM at the customer service center at the local distribution center. I donāt think they even offer that option any more.
