Grizzly Dave Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 What the heck does that mean? Yesterday it said all was fine and it would be delivered tomorrow.
Charles B. Gatewood SASS #48517 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Howdy Grizz, I had to call our local UPS dock to hold a package, so I asked them while I was on the line. She said it could be various reasons, for instance, weight adjustment, hazmat, packaging, etc. She suggested a call to the 800 line might help. Later pard, CBG
Doc Neeley Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 If it's powder or primers, there are new packaging requirements and UPS will hold shipments and then destroy the contents unless someone physically picks it up. Normally a delivery exception is cused when a package needs a signature and no one is home.
Grizzly Dave Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 It's coming from Cabelas so you'd think they'd know what they were doing, but we shall see. I don't need it until mid July, so I'm not in a rush, but would like to know it hasn't been sent to the land of lost packages.
Grizzly Dave Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 It's a couple boxes of cowboy 30-30 ammo.
Three Foot Johnson Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 If it's powder or primers, there are new packaging requirements and UPS will hold shipments and then destroy the contents unless someone physically picks it up. Normally a delivery exception is cused when a package needs a signature and no one is home. Or a wrong address. Very recently I had delivery of a rifle held up for a day because the sender transposed two numbers in the address and said location didn't exist the way it was addressed. Apparently, UPS can't figure out where "JOE BLOW'S BUSINESS" is in a town of 3,000 people... and it's been there for at least twenty years.
Flashpowder Hal Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Usually means something like severe-weather/train-wreck/road-closures happened to cause an "Exception" for UPS. Having a cloudy day causes exception for USPS in my town
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Fell off the conveyor and was found two night later on the floor. Was placed back on the conveyor.
Grizzly Dave Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 Oak Creek, WI, United States 06/25/2013 2:00 A.M. Held by origin location. Oak Creek, WI, United States 06/24/2013 1:52 P.M. Departure Scan Oak Creek, WI, United States 06/21/2013 8:57 P.M. Origin Scan United States 06/21/2013 5:15 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS It's just strange that it got scanned twice, once to say it was departing, then the next day shows up as held. I'll give them a day to sort it out and then call if it's not back on track.
Cimarron Red, SASS 18460 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Hi, Dave, I ordered three shirts from Cabelas on June 21, and in checking today with UPS tracking -- several times -- I see that the order is still in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, with the notation "Held by Origin Location.") I wouldn't think it likely that three shirts would cause a delay, but what do I know?
Grizzly Dave Posted June 25, 2013 Author Posted June 25, 2013 Red, well I'm glad to know it just ain't me then
Cimarron Red, SASS 18460 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Yep, Dave. Misery and company, etc.
Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Dave the truck was not FULL , SO , they forgot to pick it up CB
Cimarron Red, SASS 18460 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Hey, Dave, My package is on the truck for delivery today.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Sounds like a glitch in the paper work.
Grizzly Dave Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 Red, mine too, I think BMC is right, some package pusher pushed the wrong button scanning the container that was coming to Colorado.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 OPEN THE PACKAGES CAREFULLY! CHECK FOR EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL WIRES!
