Fractal Audio Systems mystery product speculation

[mbenigni]

Whoever told you that was full of shit, lol. Their phone techs don’t know shit about fuck on purpose. Whatever it takes to avoid taking responsibility.

Best as I can tell, their phone techs don’t even exist on purpose. I couldn’t get one on the phone even after hours of trying. That “explanation” was given to the buyer in person, at his local post office. Same person who told him this also told him the shipper could fix it by calling the 1 800 number, which turned into circle jerk #164836.

It’s not the making, it’s the cleanup that hurts.

More butter then.

I have the office line for our state Postmaster’s secretary that I found through some Google/LinkedIn search-fu. If shit gets really fucked at work I’ll call them and usually have a resolution in 24 hours. They HATE being bothered about anything so they’ll get shit done.

Wanna bet how many milliseconds will pass since the product is officially announced until his video is published?

Ticking clock is what made this such a complete shitshow. Once the PO decided “return to sender” I had a couple of hours, tops, to resolve. 24 would have been too long.

But I’m not going to try to reason with some savage who drinks his coffee with lumpy powdered flavored creamer.

No lumps - it's very fine and dissolves as soon as it hits the hot coffee... And before the milk

I don’t even think they’re capable of doing shit in that time frame. I’ve got a $300 package coming to me right now that has been on the way, out for delivery, unable to deliver, out for delivery, and now it’s back to “pre-shipment information has been sent to USPS”. Useless.

Everyone has their experience I find it is like cable or phone companies if you like one you generally hate the other
For me personally in Canada I use fed ex and have not had issues

UPS has been a nightmare

My most recent w them was when I sold my Quad cortex about 3 years ago
The buyer paid extra to get overnight which I had to refund as these clowns took 3 days
It was held in Memphis sorting center and they would not let it go due to import concerns

- box was just slightly bigger than the Qc
- export label said guitar processor

So finally I get a call on my cell from the supervisor who explains the problem after I have talked to 2 other people
I kid you not
Sir what type of wood is the guitar made of ?

I was like are you joking
Did you open the box
No sir
Other than a Christmas ornament what kind of guitar do you think would fit I. That box

No problem sir we will release it for tommorrow

So I refunded the guy the entire shipping about 200 to save face

Just to clarify again: I’m not taking about UPS here. I’m talking about the USPS. I’ve generally had positive experiences with both UPS and FedEx over the years.

USPS is chronically slower than anticipated, but this is the first time I’ve seen them completely spaz out like this.

You do realize that the recent hurricane has caused national redirects and delays? My recent coffee order has followed a completely abnormal transit and so far, is two days behind schedule.

Ironically , USPS to Canada post has been trouble free for me but I guess some have had issues , I suspect it’s like that with every Carrier

I think in many cases These tracking systems don’t update properly and they really can’t tell you 100% where you crap is

I hate FedEx. They always try to deliver early in the morning, require a signature, knock once then leave a note for failed delivery attempt. I don’t even think they knock half the time, I have missed so many deliveries while at home waiting for them. Also the FedEx drivers around here drive like maniacs, speeding, passing on the right, running red lights. UPS have never given me a problem. USPS can be slow but they’re reliable.

Yeah, I mentioned this in one of my earlier posts. But I don’t think it has any bearing in this instance. The package made it all the way to its destination when the driver decided to send it back due to an address exception.

My main grip isn’t with the delivery, or even with the unexpected return; it’s with their automated customer service experience, which is outright hostile.

This problem has existed well outside any natural disasters for years. They treat it like a business with normal margins and shit instead of a service that costs money so they cut every corner possible to make money (for somebody, not the people busting ass to actual deliver stuff that makes it to it’s destination).

Always have FedEx packages sent to a hold location. It’s a lot harder for the driver (who is a contractor that’s not even technically a FedEx employee) to pretend they tried and bail.
Sorry, rant over, back to the FAS Electric Sex Pants 4.
