UPS Question

    Here's the story. Sent my Xbox 360 for repair about 2 weeks ago and have been keeping an eye on the tracking number I recieved in the email saying it was shipped. All along it has been saying "On Time" and delivery was due today. I've just checked it again and there is now an "exception" - the package got sent to the depot in Cork (wtf???) and will not be delivered until 22nd July.

    Now this is where the problem is. I'm going to Spain on Friday for 10 days and will not be here to recieve it. I have nowhere I can redirect it to either. Would I be right in saying that I should be able to demand that the package is transferred to the Limerick depot today, and I will pick it up tomorrow afternoon? I can't believe they fcuked it up, what were they doing sending it to Cork?? Its bad enough having to send it for repair without these useless UPS bastards making a dogs bollocks of the delivery as well. :mad:

    Hard to believe it would take until the 22nd. Try calling them and see what they say.

    Yep, I've had UPS screw up deliveries before, even with all details on the package being correct (whenever, they screw up, they mark it as an "exception", then add some bulls**t excuse - e.g. incorrect address details - to cover themselves with the sender). However, as Sad Professor said, you should try calling them (in fact, they may not send it out again until you do contact them, because of whatever the exception was...) and explain the situation. You should be able to get it delivered to the depot of your choice and then pick it up yourself. Good luck.

    Went to the depot and checked it out with them. Explained that it was unacceptable for it to go to the wrong depot after waiting that long for it, and that their new delivery date was not suitable as I wouldn't be in the country to recieve it. After much arguing with possibly one of the most arrogant people ever, they have agreed to have it transferred to the correct depot by 8am tomorrow morning. Cheers for the replies lads, looks like a happy ending... :D

    Well...it will be happy until it breaks again, then I will unleash the apocalypse on Microsoft! :D
