Woohoo! turned to ArgghhArgghh! when I stayed home today to await the arrival of #150, only to have DHL try to deliver to the wrong address, then leave when there was no one there (I found a DHL note on my neighbor's door when I went to get something in my car). Doesn't DHL know that these are lone awaited 950's being delivered to people now on the edge?
Well, I complained to DHL, and they're going to try to come back before 6:00pm. I even offered to get in my car and drive around Los Angeles until I hunt down, I mean find the right DHL van (DHL suggested I not help them this way for what they said were security reasons). Well, another day lost, but hopefully not the night!

I just got the confirmation e-mail from Outlaw today with the UPS tracking number, the unit was shipped out Thursday. I opted for ground so it will be late next week before it gets to me on the East coast. I can wait, although the pony may arrive first. Better head to the feed & seed store!

Reservation # 208, originally reserved on 12-14-01

The Package left Cerritos, CA last night en route to NJ via UPS. My # was 1118. I am trying to be nonchalant. Does anybody believe me?

Same boat, Mono (#35). I'm looking at Tuesday, I think. Trying to maintain composure, but I think I'm losing the battle...

#150 arrived safely! DHL came back (this time bothering to read the unit # after my address). Woohoo again!

#71 still not here! Stupid UPS got it two days ago, but sat on it for a day. The next day they came I was home and obviously expecting it, but somehow missed them!?!?!

I checked the front door ~5pm when they usually come, and find a note saying they tried to deliver it at 5pm!? WHA-!?!?! Where was I? I was HERE?! I heard nothing!!

My doorbell works perfectly and my door even makes a nice loud sound when you hit it with your hand! What the $%#$^'s wrong with those idiots!? MAN!!!

Called the useless 800# that tells you in a computer voice that they were there at 5pm. VERY helpful! If I could've talked to a human I could've probably gotten them to come right back here!

It's 4:50 now and I better get this thing any minute!!! The helpful UPS 'tried to deliver' sticker has diff. time frames listed to help me know when they'll show up today.... they checked ALL the times off!!! Nice!!! lazy punks!

I better not miss having this thing over the weekend or some brown jumpsuited jerk's getting a power amp to the skull!

Last time UPS came to deliver something (panamax 5100) they walked up to the door attached a note saying they missed me (no knock at all) then proceeded to walk back to his truck.....all this as I WATCHED from the upstairs window.

Talk about pissed!!

I received the magic email and placed my order today #254

Are we through the first day yet?

How 'bout posting when you ordered along with when you recieve. Let us get an idea cornologically where we are.

I *never* use UPS anymore, unless I can't ship any other way. DHL will obey your wishes, whether they be to hold the package for you, or to just leave it on the doorstep. UPS ignores my notes completely. ("UPS: if I miss you, please leave package on step", etc.) They won't even leave it for you if you call ahead of time. Every time a package comes for me I have to go pick it up from them or arrange for an alternate delivery location. So, I've stopped using them entirely.
