:? okay,here's my deal...i ordered the mpc1000 from online <american musical supply...they let you make payments!!!!!!> anyways, i ordered it on a monday, they shipped it out on tuesday, from new jersey, right? i live in atlanta, so i know it doesn't take forever to get from new jerz to ga...i get the tracking number and i do a search for my piece of gear....it says that "the item in question is scheduled for delivery on april 26th"....so i'm like, "screw this, why wait until monday when it might be here today!!!" <this was on friday>
i call ups and they tell me that the item (my mpc1000) is here in atlanta@my local ups <like 3 minutes from my house> but i cant go pick it up..they have to make an attempt to deliver it to me first...on monday <today>...i'm like, "well, hey, if it's here and i have my id...why cant i save YOU guys the trouble and the gas and just go pick it up myself...i mean, you're right around the corner from me, right?!?!?!?!"....the lady on the other end of the line is like "i'm sorry sir...i'm in arizona myself, but normally, things have to get delivered 1st, as in an attempt, before we let you go pick up your item"...but she gives me the location where my mpc1000 is <like i told her, i already know...i live near the biggest one in georgia> and she says go for it, they MIGHT let me have it.
so, i go there, and the place is packed...i put my name and address on this sign-up sheet that they have there and i wait....and i wait....and i wait...for 2 hours!!!!! they call me up to the counter and i explain what i'm there for and they say cool.....so i wait another 30 minutes before this lady <she was fine as hell by the way!!!!!!!> calls me back to the counter and she tells me, "i'm sorry sir, although your item is here, we cant give it too you yet....it's on a truck awaitting delivery on monday...we pre-load all our trucks on friday nite so they can just go out on monday and make their deliveries..." i'm like, "well, cant someone go get it off the truck for me, i mean, I'M RIGHT HERE!!?!?!?!?!?!?!"...she tells me "no sir, we cant do that"...i ask her" you know what truck it's on, right?"...she says "yes, but we dont have the personnel to go in the back to get it off the truck for you..."...so, i'm pissed, and dissappointed..... :cry:



:idea: so i fill out an application to work at UPS and i have an interview on tuesday <LOL> :wink: ....hey, if you cant beat them, join them, i guess...they need the help and i want my stuff....i can just hear my man biz markie from "the vaporz" back in the day..."**ggah please, you work for UPS!!!!"..haha...

I order some vinyl from the Internet and Ups was my deliverer and i waited for it to come and the day it was supose to come i left school early, at like 12:00. I saw a post on my door and it basicly said i missed the truck by 6 mins. I was steamed. Then it happen the next day. 3 times a charm tho. I stayed home the next day and got it.

That's got to be the best reaction to a situation like this I've ever heard...once you've got UPS in Atl sorted out, can you come work for FedEx in Brooklyn?

uhh...on 2nd thought, master p. was never a really good rapper..he just had good presence on the mic....now today, i seen him jumping around trying to do the east coast stomp....just sad....

Do you know how many times the us postal service leaves a final notice for a package at my crib when they NEVER EVEN RANG MY BELL? UPS is ok, not great but OK.
