Re: [Rant] UPS 3-Day-Select Shipping & Newegg
I always pay the extra couple bucks for Fedex screw UPS. I ordered headphones from bestbuy and ups ground shipping was the only cheap dispatch method ( 5 bucks) what they did was gave me a promiss date 8 days from then no holidays no anything and they let the little bugger sit in Ohio for 3 days before finally moving it.
One thing you can say about them is they do take delivering ontime seriously. |

Newegg says they billed/shipped it on the 20th. That's a Sunday. I had an order like that recently too... Since when do they work on Sundays ?? They haven't in the past.
As far as UPS is concerned, the clock starts ticking on the 21st. Three day shipping means they get it to you by the 24th. The 24th is Thanksgiving Day. UPS isn't "open" on the 25th except for air and international and weekends NEVER count with them unless you pay substantially extra for Saturday delivery. That makes the 28th the scheduled day. Just like they say...
UPS has been doing this for a long time and they do take their delivery "promise" dates seriously. |
