jdmccall Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Day 11 of "FastNFree" 3-day delivery. "Guaranteed" they said. But, the guarantee is off due to Covid-19. That point was not learned until after the sale, of course. "My"🙄 speakers have been sitting in a trailer in St. Louis for 5 of those 11 days. I should have just picked them up there. It's less than 5 hours away...for you or me. Not for YRC Freight. Current projection is for Thursday (8/13) delivery, but their projections aren't worth much since they change daily. Deep breath.......Ah, that's better. All will be well...if it ends well...and soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Sorry to say it, and I know you don't want to hear it. Should have called Cory. Live and learn, like you said. Hope it works out and you like 'em. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it makes any difference to me at this point. Just curious for possible future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmccall Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 OK...I've checked out his ebay store. He just didn't have what I was looking for this time...when I was looking for it. I don't really blame the guys at The Sound Seller for the delay. I don't know who to blame so I guess I won't blame anybody. Maybe there's enough to go around. It doesn't really matter in the overall scheme of things anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the CW IVs that you ordered, he had a fleet of them in every finish just a few weeks ago when I ordered mine. Always best to call.

jdmccall Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 They have been moved to a different trailer (again!) and projected delivery is still 8/14, so hopefully tomorrow will be the day. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry4841 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Really can't blame the seller as it appears he shipped them in timely manner. The shipping company is to blame. Having worked in warehouse receiving trucked merchandise this does happen on occasion. Sometime merchandise is put on wrong truck by fork lift driver and may go to who knows where. Generally you will eventually get your speakers. Call the shipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmccall Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 I think the problem is with the shipper. Of course, some blame must go to the seller for using that freight company. And to me, for using that seller. 🤪 The ebay listing had the "FastNFree" guaranteed 3-day delivery, but after sale when I checked tracking, the YRC Freight website said: "COVID-19 – A suspension of all guarantee service failure reimbursements has been issued effective 3/25/2020" So I guess I'm out of luck unless I wanted to push a false advertising angle related to the "fastnfree" thing on ebay...which I don't. I suppose the speakers will get here eventually. The last tracking update (this morning) said "TRAILER 261251 WAS CLOSED AT SAINT LOUIS MO USA". I interpret this to mean the trailer is loaded and ready to roll, which could mean delivery even today, or on Monday, which is also the latest estimated delivery date. My biggest concern is all the extra handling of the speakers; moving them from one trailer to another, which just means more chance of damage, and then there's all the time the speakers are sitting out in hot and/or humid conditions. 🥴 Not that I'm a worrier or anything. 😵 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
