I HATE UPS....They are horrible.

[pdbreen]

Could be two packages tied to the same tracking # - one coming from TX, the other from Canada.

UPS delivered my tower and perlicks to the wrong door the other day. It said "delivered" but there was nothing at the front door, so I started walking around the condo-complex. Sure enough, it was sitting in the alcove of a vacant. Glad I was home at the time.

I can't wait to see what the Brokerage Fees are on my keg setup.

i'm interested in this as well. The brokerage fees is the main reason why alot of cdns dislike, and refuse to deal with UPS.

UPS normally does a good job, However, I used to have shipments sent to my workplace and twice UPS delivered my Northern Brewer orders to a business ~1 mile from here. Same business both times! These orders were a couple of months apart and both times, the address on the package was correct. In each instance, my package arrived at my workplace, albeit, a couple of days later than they should.

Yeah, UPS always kills me with brokerage fees and I am not sure how they are calculated. It seems it is random. I order 2 kits from Austin Homebrew a week apart, the shipping costs were almost identical as the weights were very close. One I was charged $37 brokerage fees and one was $22.

But from now on I am going to use DME instead of LME and AHBS will be able to ship via USPS and I will end up saving the brokerage.

Hmmm. Texas to Canada to Texas to Canada to New York to Canada??? Yeah that seems a bit weird.

How could you hate UPS

[middleofnowhere]

You need 25 posts to get it to show in the actual thread. Only 9 more and it will work for you.

Yeah she would make waiting even more unbearable....lol

Stupid Purolator truck has driven past my house like 45 times today....(Purolator truck delivers UPS packages here)

Man, if Dar (Purolator driver) doesn't soon get here, I am gonna lose it. Then again, I doubt he is coming today. Stupid UPS.

 

[JesseRC]

so what does tracking say for today?

 

[middleofnowhere]

That is the other thing, it shows Lachine, Quebec, then will show delivered once it is delivered. It doesn't show anything in between.

And it will show delivered to St. John's, Newfoundland, which is 1100km from here. That is further away than Lachine, Quebec.

7 more! lol

Yeah kind of whoring my post count out

This one seems better.

 

[FlashRedGLS18T]

I'm sure it will be fine.

 

[JesseRC]

I guess he got his shipment, or else Jester would of b*tched about it not getting there. I cant wait to see his apology.

 

[IrregularPulse]

This is an odd picture! Did the kid steal the sewing machine off the truck?? Or what is the significance of the sewing machine......

 

[middleofnowhere]

No need for me to apologize. I am still without kegs. I will even apologize if they show up before noon today.

There is the tracking info...still hate them.

I couldn't post last night because I went on a date with the SWMBO, and she wouldn't let me get on the computer when we got home. We did however buy a Mexican Lager Extract Kit and another Carboy at the LHBS store. The owner told me that he would love to get steeping grains and hops in, but I am the only one that buys beer kits.

 

[JesseRC]

Sorry to hear that, I apologize for adding salt. I do however love UPS cuz it brings me all the little things that I love. Yesterday it broght me 5lbs of hops!

 

[pdbreen]

Here's my latest guess - the customs information is forwarded electronically at time of shipment and processing work begins before the package arrives. The package itself arrived at the border on Oct 6 (arrival/import/departure), and is now on its way to you.

Seems like a case where less tracking information might be better.

I agree 100% with that statement.

I like salt, no apologies necessary. I will still take pictures of me molesting them when I get them. I would do the same to you if you were impatiently waiting for something...lol

I like this site because I have more in common with everyone on here, than I do with anyone in my real life. Very very sad to say, but this place is better than my real life, with the exception of my SWMBO and kids, because they are awesome.

 

[middleofnowhere]

Still no kegs.....boo

I also still have no love controller....hhhmmmmm I don't have a tracking number for that either. Might have to call Cole-Palmer.

 

[middleofnowhere]

I love UPS! They bring me beer stuff....lol

I would like to publicly apologize to UPS for being impatient and saying I hate them.

My SWMBO still hates them because of the $91 brokerage fees, but I am willing to overlook those.

puurrrrrrty

 

[middleofnowhere]

Now I have to figure out where to get CO2 in this crap ass town. Fire extinguisher place doesn't do it anymore, but apparently the Air conditioner place may do it.

 

[dataz722]

No welding places around?

 

[JesseRC]

yup welding places is your best bet. Congrats on your new kegs.

 

[middleofnowhere]

Yeah, just got to figure out where....I think my old man works close to one, I will ask him tonight when he drops by to pick up my kids.

 

[middleofnowhere]

I might be able to get some at work....I bet there is a huge tank in our welding shop....I wonder if they will miss it???
