Missing Package from @tsauce2

While it's not his fault FedEx messed up, it is his responsibility to get you your beer. He needs to send you a replacement box.

 

Yep...you are entitled to a replacement box that makes you whole. Try (diligently) to work out via BM and email/texts. If nothing happens, give an ultimatum (i.e., I need a response within 3 days or I will have to start a thread about the situation and out you). Out the guy if necessary.

 

Can we see a tracking number? It seems odd that FedEx cannot give a definitive answer about what happened. If the label comes off, then packages can go missing forever. But if it was destroyed, the tracking number should indicate that.

That said, either way your trading partner is responsible to get your brews to you.

I think if we can look at a detailed tracking report, some of the older traders around here might have more focused advice for you.

 

Any update?

 

Similar thing happened to me but I was the shipper. FedEx emailed me and said my package was damaged and they were sending it back to me. I asked them to deliver in spite of damage but they refused. I got the package back and each bottle was intact. In the meantime however I reshipped my trading parter a new box. The issue is mine, in my opinion, my partner got me my box I owe him a box. This is a small price to pay to not have to fly to a different part of the country to get local brews.

I hope you get made whole. If not I'd be willing to throw some OK locals your way to soften the blow.

 

Have you tried calling 1 800 GO FEDEX ?

Sometimes they have different information that doesn't post online.

But it appears the box was lost. If so, nothing changes... Your trading partner is obligated to fill his end.

He should also definitely be working the phones and trying to track down his box. If it wasn't destroyed, and simply lost there is a decent chance they can find it... He might have to swallow a big pill and admit that it was beer, but he should try to avoid that and just describe the exterior of the box. If all else fails, he should file a claim and then likely get reimbursed for the lost box.

Hope this helps, Toby.

 

Trading partner owes you some beers. He should file a claim with FedEx to at least get some money back on it

 

I would give it a few more days but if he doesn't respond to you, tag him in this thread. Especially, if he is still signing on.

 

Can someone give me a quick explanation of how filing a claim with FedEx works? I know they always ask me if I want to declare a value and I always just say it's under the $100 threshold or whatever it is. I guess I'm just not understanding what you're filing a claim for if what was in your package (beer) wasn't supposed to be there in the first place. Is it just the cost you paid for shipping that filing a claim can help you with or the actual value of what was in it?

 

@Wiskey_33

I updated the thread title updated to include the name of your trade partner.

@tsauce2 hasn't logged in since November 27th.

 

No communication? Not to be the bearer of bad news but I think you got boned. Hope i'm wrong. But the guys here will do their best.

 

If it turns out for the worst, let us know what you lost...I'm sure there are people here willing to make your side whole if possible (myself included).

 

op messaged. replacement box being sent. we spoke right before thanksgiving and you were going to your local fedex to pick up your package. i work in the transportation industry, this is the busiest month of the year. i have not been on since we last spoke. i will get a box out asap.

 

and my fing car broke down and I had to take care of that and I got sick from my niece over thanksgiving. real life is a sob sometimes. i dropped the ball on this one but am making it up.
