Well, what got me once was the trip a package took. I ordered |
| 18 |
something, can't remember what it was now but anyway, it left Memphis, |
| 19 |
went to Atlanta and sat there a day or two, then went to some place in |
| 20 |
Kentucky and sat there for a day or two. Then it went back to Memphis |
| 21 |
where it sat for a couple days and then they dropped it off at the post |
| 22 |
office to be delivered. DHL was the one that did all the running around |
| 23 |
the country. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Needless to say, I wrote newegg a little note about all that. They |
| 26 |
refunded the shipping, which I wasn't worried about, and said she was |
| 27 |
going to talk to the higher ups since they are getting a lot of similar |
| 28 |
complaints. I notice that their only options now are UPS and such. I |
| 29 |
don't see the so called "egg saver" anymore. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
That package took over a week for me to get. As I explained in my note |
| 32 |
to newegg, I could have rode a bicycle to Memphis, got the package and |
| 33 |
rode the bike back faster than the shipping company could get it here or |
| 34 |
even just get it back to Memphis to drop it off at the post office. |
| 35 |

The funny part, once it was taken to the post office, I got it the next |
| 37 |
day. So much for snail mail. They should have shipped it with them to |
| 38 |
begin with. lol |

At least we know now why they went belly up. Let's not mention the part |
| 41 |
from Sears that I had to drive 40 miles one way to get. They delivered |
| 42 |
it to some ladies house. She found me in the phone book. I guess DHL |
| 43 |
doesn't have a phone book. :-@ There is only two people around here |
| 44 |
with my last name. The other is my brother. He knows where I live |
| 45 |
too. ;-) |
