They have misplaced my office chair replacement parts they made it from TX to hodgkins IL then never moved again was suppose to be here on thurs the 21st. Now had to file claim to get them to go look for them thats ok system for claims asked how mant items told it 5 parts and total value of 250 it added a 1 and now value is 1250 for box SO maybe just wait for check and go by new chair and several others.LOL

LOL, Good luck. My local driver likes to deliver my packages to my neighbor across the street and 3 doors down. 3rd time this year. This time I called and made him come back and bring it to the correct house. Emoticon

@kraziebill This one is most likely sitting in a corner at the warehouse. NEVER had issue before love the APP to track the packages signed up for the online account so even if getting package as long as my address will send me tracking. I did the same at USPS even messed with them on where to put package mail lady told me her boss got involved to make sure it had note to get where I said to put it the package. I keep a chair facing backwards on porch so when put in it can't see from street that something is there. I even told them what color chair. She laughed so hard at instructions but thought it was good idea to keep out of sight.

Wow do I have a UPS story! I'll try to keep it short. My youngest had been saving forever for a certain laptop. The day came for it to be delivered via UPS, and we were tracking it.
 
I didn't move from the front window of the house that day. I knew when the truck made its rounds in our neighborhood. My son and I moved to the front porch when time got close. I'm telling you, I was watching for that truck for my son the entire day.
 
Out on the porch, we see the truck in the neighborhood. It passes our house twice. I tell my son, "It must have other deliveries, then it's coming back."
 
No sign of the truck. My cell phone rings, and it's Mr. QuispnQuake calling from work, asking, "Where are you? I just checked the tracking, and it JUST NOW SAID 'Undeliverable: no one at residence' !!"
 
People, our house numbers can be seen from freaking Mars. And we had had MANY UPS deliveries before! I had a huge hunch I knew what happened: it was 5pm, the guy was running late, and didn’t want to make the delivery!!!
 
I was INCENSED!!!! Because I had been there all day, and not only did I know the driver was lying, but I had to tell my son that a grown adult LIED on his job, and THAT'S why he wasn't going to get his computer that day!!
 
I'll tell "The Rest Of The Story" later. Because I burned up the phone lines to UPS with an atomic bomb, and the computer got delivered a few hours later.

'Undeliverable: no one at residence' !!"

@QuispNQuake :
 
Yeah, I've had a similar experience.
 
Home all day, truck went by, no delivery even attempted....

Years ago in the neighborhood where I worked some people had endless complaints about the deliveries. Finally they made calls up the chain of command. A few days later management trailed the driver. The reasons for the delays in delivery was discovered and it was because the driver and a woman were having a regular rendezvous in the back of the truck. The driver was fired and the deliveries started arriving on time.

@billybob : I don't doubt you at all because DECADES ago, when my husband and I were first married and I was supporting him through grad school, we were renting an upstairs apartment in a pre-1900's house that sat at the top of an obscure, dead-end street. There were only 4 other houses that wound their way up that street.
 
The neighbors and I kept seeing a strange jeep parked in our parking area, and a blond woman using it. Problem was, we each assumed she was a friend of the others and didn’t ask.
 
Until one day she parked in someone's spot and it honked them off. I got a knock on the door: "Could you tell your friend to blah, blah, blah...."
 
And we had this whole, "She's not MY friend, I thought she was YOURS!" "Nope, she's not mine!", etc., etc., etc., So I go down to the house of the woman who is home during the day, and she spills it: "Quisp, she and the mailman are having an affair! He parks his mail truck right outside my house, she gets in it, and they go at it! All while all of you are gone at work!"
 
Long story short, the neighbor never said anything because her house was HUD housing, and she thought if she made waves, her family would lose the house. And they were the sweetest family!
 
Well, Quispy here didn't stand for it and made waves! The next morning when I left for work, I put a sheet of notebook paper under her windshield wiper that said in large letters, "If I see this vehicle parked here ever again, I'm reporting EVERYTHING TO THE POST OFFICE!"
 
The mailman had a cow, according to the neighbor who had spilled the beans to me. But we never saw the blonde and her jeep again.

@QuispNQuake
The situation I mentioned is that they were apparently found on quiet side street too and in sight of the Catholic University of America.

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!! I found the link on Google Maps that has the street we lived on. If you "drive" to the very top and look at the house there, we lived in the top half! HAHAHA!!
 
And you can clearly see how the street was the perfect hideout!! HAHA!!
 
S 5th St

Here's the tracking update for my chair parts. I'm trying so hard not to ROFL chair parts have pretty much been coast to coast and still have to come back. Guessing it never got scanned and just tossed onto a truck can't wait to see what the box is going to look like when it does finally show up.
