dixonge Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Given the state of things in the world today, I am relieved that my Casio CT-S400 order is showing as 'shipped' - from Indianapolis. Not sure if this is direct pickup at Sam Ash store or the local Amazon fulfillment hub. FedEx details will hopefully update shortly...

Baldwin Funster Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Sometimes shipped isn't shipped. They create a label so you cant change your mind and cancel the order. But it still may be a couple of days before any tracking info can be seen. Quote FunMachine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it still may be a couple of days before any tracking info can be seen. I hate how shippers play that game of create the label in other words, get on their computer to met the sellers requirement of "shipped" within three days. Then they take their time to actually take the package to the shipping company. That's part of why I like Sweetwater when they say they will ship they do.

dixonge Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 I do see this on the FedEx web site: 10:25 AM Shipment information sent to FedEx So FedEx will send this to a driver to pick it up. I'll quit worrying when it's on one of their trucks...

cedar Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I bought a non-music item from a retailer across the country. Got an alert 10 days ago that it had shipped via FedEx. Initially, the indication was that it would be delivered Friday. It wasn't delivered and now the tracking info just says "no delivery date" and "pending." No idea what conclusions to draw from this.

dixonge Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Forgot to mention - called Sam Ash customer service yesterday. They said they saw it as in stock in their warehouse, scheduled to ship today. So, cautiously optimistic...

I've had this happen a few times now during pandemic-stressed times. On more than one item now, they eventually called it "lost" and refunded me. Having worked for Big Brown many years ago during college, this is by no means a surprise, knowing a little about how the package delivery system works. Quote ..

Morrissey Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Here to commiserate. On Thursday, I bought something used from Guitar Center. The GC store where it is located (nowhere near me) didn't get the item to UPS until yesterday (Monday). Due to what I am forced to assume is sensible UPS logistics, the package travelled to a centralized shipping center 100 miles in the opposite direction from where I live. Now, it is stuck there -- many, many hundreds of miles from me: "Due to operating conditions, your package may be delayed. / Delivery will be rescheduled." This is clearly a "first world" problem, and I will be patient. But the adage is true, "the waiting is the hardest part." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is clearly a "first world" problem, and I will be patient. But the adage is true, "the waiting is the hardest part." I go through that with FedEx ground. I buy something from Sweetwater and the package goes on an extended tour of the midwest and southwest because it heads to Southern California. The crazy one for me sometime is USPS. I live in a city about 40 miles inland and with USPS tracking I can see my package get to one of two locations that typically mean I'll have it the next day. One time it got there some machine or someone read the zip wrong and my package when on a five day journey of North California before getting back to where it started. Then they sent it on a two day journey to downtown L.A. before finally making it the 70 miles to place at the furthest north border of L.A. County. Another time same thing except the package went from close up to Washington state then wound it's way back to me. Do any of the delivery companies look at the paths they actually sent packages on. My packages take more road trips than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear the CT-S400 is a completely different animal than the CT-S300. Significantly better tones, better speaker system, graphic LCD display and more. It is a remarkably versatile and fun instrument. The CT-S1 only has 61 tones, no rhythms and some of those tones are exclusive and won't be found in the CT-S400. This includes some of the Transistor Organs, CP-70 EP, Vintage Synths and String Machines, Classic Casio sounds and more.

dixonge Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Package has made it to Denver area, FedEx facility in Commerce City. Was originally showing as coming in today, but I'm completely not surprised it didn't make it here from Lincoln, NE in one day. Maybe tomorrow???

KuruPrionz Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I've dragged this up from below due to an on topic and noteworthy bit of madness. I bought an item on eBay, a steel tongue drum. It shipped Friday, September 3rd. FedEx from El Paso Texas. I have a Fed Ex account and they text updates to my phone. Here they are, shortened to get to the point. Weds Sept 8th - package was scheduled for delivery on Thursday 9/9 Thursday, Sept 9th - package was out for delivery. Thursday Sept 9th - package is delayed, scheduled to arrive 9/10 before noon Friday Sept 10th - package was out for delivery. Friday Sept 10th - package was delayed due to operational reasons Friday Sept 10th - We're sorry, your package is still delayed Saturday Sept 11th - delivery is scheduled for Monday, Sept 13th Saturday Sept 11th - your package is scheduled for delivery Tuesday 09/14 between 7:50am and 12. Saturday Sept 11th - your delivery is rescheduled to Sunday 09/12 between 7:50am and 12:30 Sunday Sept 12th - rescheduled for Monday 09/13 Sunday Sept 12th - package delivered 09/12 at 10:04am (this actually happened!) Sunday, Sept 12th - Hi, your package is now out for delivery today. Sunday 09/12th - delivery is rescheduled for Mon 09/13 Sunday 09/12 - Hi your package is delayed. It is scheduled to arrive on 09/13 Sunday 09/12 - We apologize, your package is still delayed. That's 15 notifications in 5 days. 4 notifications came after the package was delivered and 3 of those notifications refer to rescheduling and delays. I used to have faith in Fed Ex...

Stokely Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Wow, that's nuts. I guess I'm fortunate in that the only thing I'd want is too expensive for me to buy and would require me to go through seller's hell to sell off 3 other keyboards to even think about it (nord stage 3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Williams Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Now you're scaring me. I have a printer in transit, and am still waiting for a Kurzweil to ship.

KuruPrionz Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Now you're scaring me. I have a printer in transit, and am still waiting for a Kurzweil to ship. Well, the good new is the item arrived and fully intact although I'd go dollars to donuts you could stand on it or throw it down the stairs without harming it. It is made of steel and has zero moving parts other than the tones it makes when the tongues vibrate. 9 days from El Paso to Bellingham is a bit long but not insane. I would have been better off not getting the notifications, too late now. Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

16251 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I ordered ES520 July 17 from GC. The confirmation email that day had expected date for Sept 10. There were a few disappointing calls to GC before 10th and was told of delay of 30-90 days. Good news, GC original email was correct as my order shipped. Will have by end of week.

Docbop Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I just went thru a mess with FedEx a week ago. The claimed the actually delivered the package and they didn't. I'm so sick of these driver punching in any excuse like resident not home, apartment complex closed, are to familiar ones they use to buy themselves another day to deliver. Never had them say they delivered when they hadn't. I submitted a complaint via the FedEx online system, but it responded to wait five hours to see if package arrives. I then contacted Sweetwater and told them so they can try to track from their end. After five hours I updated my FedEx complaint it still hadn't arrived. So my "delivered" still wasn't there at 11pm, I checked outside before I went to bed. I wake up in the morning and amazingly my package showed up during the night. Let FedEx and Sweetwater know my package finally showed up. USP plays the same games punching in resident not available or similar lie to buy themselves another day to deliver. I could deal with them being honest and just saying they had to reschedule. All this crap started when they started tracking their drivers every move. Micro managing employees never ends well first for the customer and then for the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
