I shipped a fiddle overnite and payed extra to get it to its destination by 10:30 AM. Of course, there is a snow storm there this morning so by 12:30 it still has not arrived. Weather-related lateness is not refundable and I am out the extra $20.00. Not much to cry over, but next time I'll check the weather and more of the small print. Word to the wise.

Drew;Last Friday I ordered a $900.00 radiator from Kansas City and paid an extra $119.00 for Fed-Ex to overnight it and guarantee deliver by 10:30 am Saturday morning.At 11am my customer and I were still waiting for the Fed-Ex truck so I called my supplier and got the tracking number.By the grace of God I finally reached a Fex-Ex representive that told me that I did pay an extra $12.50 to get it delivered on Saturday however Fed-Ex doesn't guarantee 10:30 delivery on Saturdays even though,according to my supplier,I was charged for it.Someone got my money.At least they finally showed up a little past 1pm,damaged radiator and all.

Ouch, Roger, sorry to hear that.
I did get a refund from FedEx, seems the plane the fiddle arrived late. And in one piece.

$120.00 you could have drove to kc and got it yourself. just kidding. there is always fine print at the bottom you never read till its too late. i have had good service from fed ex and will continue to use them. Why didn't you just ship the fiddle sooner? doc

I wouldn't dream of using ‘that company’ again! I gave them the dimensions and weight and they gave me a price~quote to ship to France recently, but; although the size was actually slightly smaller than I had stated, when I took it for shipping, the actual cost was $36 above the quote! The only reason I shipped it through them was because the receiver insisted on using then! I've always used UPS (with never any problems) for all my shipping that wasn't practical by USPS.
