Lose it, have them compensate you for it, then find it again!!

At least it didn't fall off 200ft tall conveyor belts then get run over by a forklift.

A euphonium without a red Corvette?
If it’s tourist season, why can’t we shoot them?

Where did she find it? How did she know where to start?

The complete LACK of tracking info made absolutely NO sense, so she went back to the drop off location and demanded to be allowed to look for it.
It was there: covered up with other large boxes.

She sounds a bit like my wife, a woman who knows what she’s doing and a woman not to be crossed when doing what needs to be done!

Reminds me of the stuff I sent to you via FedEx that got delivered to your next-door neighbor, without a required signature, and left in the street....

Re: FedEx was too stupid to find a euphonium we shipped & they lost, so...
Several years ago a photographer friend of mine, Mark, had a couple dozen of his books printed and then shipped to my house via FedEx. We were to meet up at a photo event, but he was traveling by motorcycle. Anyway, I got a notification that they had been left on my porch, but when I got home from work they weren't there. So I called Mark and he immediately contacted FedEx. I walked around the neighborhood for a couple hours, looking at front porches, knocking on doors, no luck. The next day I happened to be home when our regular USPS mail carrier brought the mail. I asked if he had seen them and he said, "Yeah, they're in my truck and I have no idea why." It turns out, the previous day we had a substitute mail carrier who thought they were outgoing, with a FedEx label on them. So he just took them.

Sheet music also works to get Trumpet, Percussion and guitar players to play quieter as wellMary Ann wrote: ↑Sat Apr 10, 2021 2:35 pmThat only happens with intonation in community bands and with guitar players.KingTuba1241X wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 3:07 pm At least it didn't fall off 200ft tall conveyor belts then get run over by a forklift.

...so they've lost it again...
Re: FedEx was too stupid to find a euphonium we shipped & they lost, so...
I’m awaiting an order shipped by FedEx. It’s in three packages all shipped from the same place to the same place. Following with the tracking app, I see each package is taking a different route, and they will arrive on three consecutive days.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't really out to get you.

I have a since-40-years-ago lifelong friend (who works in FedEx security in Memphis) who's "on this".
