So I purchased a Sig P365. The night sights started to fail. Called Sig and spoke with a really nice lady who issued me a return label. Sent the slide only back to Sig via Fedex.
less than a week later I receive an E-mail that my slide has been repaired and shipped.
So far so good but here is where Murphy jumps.
I call Fedex to have the package re-directed to one of their local stores.
Can't be done because of contract issues between Sig and Fedex.
Fedex says I have to call Sig and have their restrictions lifted.
Call Sig and am told it can't be done because of company policy, can only be sent back to Sig and then they will resend it to another residential address or an FFL. Give them the name and address of the shop I bought it from.
In the meantime I call Fedex back and request an after 5PM delivery.
I'm told I can only make this request after I get a 1st time attempt delivery tag.
Get home from work today and no tag.
Get on the computer and track the package only to find out it was delivered at 11:30 am and signed for by some non-existent person. No one was home so the transaction had to take place outdoors or was delivered to the wrong address.
Now I spend an hour and a half on hold to report the situation to Fedex.
Finally get ahold of them, explained the situation and am in limbo as to where my slide is.
I feel like I'm in the middle of 2 clown cars and hundreds of clowns are pouring out of them.:cuss:
 
Check around the house, It could have been left at the doorstep to a door that you normally don't use. I've gotten notification that packages have been delivered before and found them at an entrance we never use. The regular UPS, USPS and FedX guys always leave packages in the same spot where we see them. But occasionally a different driver will place them at another door.

Found one under the tree by the road once. Guess the driver clearly wasn't the regular guy and didn't like my dog (regular guys love her).

Still marked it as front porch on the delivery notification, which confused me for about 3 hours.
 
way back in the early caracal days had a recalled caracal pistol sent back from the factory by fedex and the driver signed a made up name and left it on my door step. I came home from work expecting to go and sign for it and show id etc and was shocked. thank God no kids came across it or anyone else. more so children. would have ended up on the news. I called fedex and they didnt seem to care much. escalated it as far as I could for safety reasons and didnt get very far.

not much shocks me anymore when it comes to poor training and/or incompetence and lack of care and pride in doing a good job. hope ya find it op. good luck on the hunt.

Sorry to hear about your shipping problems! Only had to send a Beretta Neos back to the factory for a safety recall and had the dealer who I had bought it from handle all the shipping and it didn't cost me a thing.
 
It will turn up. I had a set of bike tires go missing recently. Item tracking showed delivered, but it never arrived. Sender said give it a couple of days. I asked the Postman, but he did not see the tires. 2 days later the tires were delivered, Postman said he found them. ??
 
Turns out because of the virus Fedex has waived the signature requirement. Guy who signed for it was the delivery driver.
Unfortunately this driver was some what Dyslexic and left the package at 123 instead of 132.
He quickly returned, retrieved it and brought it to the right address.
What a world we live in. :oops:

Been there... One delivery guy let's the dog on the truck. The other will drive away.
To the OP.
I've started getting packages dropped at the post office most of the time. It's much less hassle.
 
I had my new TV delivered to a guy that lives down the street by FedEx. That guy called me with the number that was on the shipping label. Delivery lately is easy since we are locked in and working from our home. Glad it worked out ok. Now for the good part? How's it work? The new slide repair?
 
Package companies have a biological urge to deliver. That baby is coming, and they are going to give the baby to anyone who will sign for the thing. SIG and Fed Ex will both claim that since someone signed for the thing, they are not responsible for the loss.

If you sent them a whole pistol, then I suggest researching how to file the pistol as stolen. Get it into a law enforcement data base once you are convinced it is missing. At some point in its lifetime, the pistol will surface. Whether it is in your life time is another question, but you never know.
 
FedEx Home did that with ammo I ordered last year. Said delivery attempted but nobody home. BS, I was home all day waiting. Said a door tag was left, went and looked on the door, no tag. Called FedEx and after an hour found out that the driver tried delivering my package to some business that was closed and left my shipment number on their door tag. Then I had to wait 3 days for delivery because the driver didn't work weekends. Basically they drove around for a day and parked the truck for 2 days with my ammo sitting on it. I was not pleased. Thankfully my online supplier dropped FedEx like a hot potato, not more issues.
 
Sorry for your woes brutus51... but it sounds like you created your own clown show. Changing the details in the middle of a shipment can bite you in the nether regions. I too have first hand experience of that. Chalk it up as a lesson learned.
 
Got a rifle returned to me last week and they just handed it to me and walked away. I understand not getting signatures but Fedex must know there is a firearm in that box right?
 
Where I've lived for about 20 years, UPS is very dependable. They actually get out of their truck and put things on my porch!

Fedex is different. Sometimes they leave it on the porch (a 50 foot covered porch) and sometimes in front of the garage door out in the weather where it could be run over. I guess some drivers think it would take too much time to walk an extra 30 feet to put the stuff on the porch.

Then there was Amazon. I ordered a printer from them. It was allegedly delivered except it wasn't delivered. They sent me another one. A day or two after the second one arrived, a guy came walking down my quarter mile driveway carrying the printer that had been delivered to a business across the road by mistake.
 
Just had my 365 sight replaced as well. My experience was smooth, when I talked to the lady at Sig, she said it would probably be 2-3 weeks, I was surprised when I got a shipping notification only 2 days after they received it. Luckily, yesterday Fed-ex delivered it to the correct address and my wife was home, she didn't have to sign, just gave my name. I was worried as they have a bad habit of delivering stuff to the wrong street. Glad you got your slide back.
