QuoteGlad to hear it mayhem. I was pretty sure you were entitled to at the very least free shipping.

No kidding, at $48 for per tower + monitor X 5 sets for overnight shipping (both ways) ... I sure in hell wasn't going to pay for it.

Ouch .. that doesn't surprise me.

Good news is that they found my computers!! They were in a back room of a gift shop (in town). I was given no explainion on why they ended up there ... only that i'd need to bring my receipts and 2 piece of ID to pick them up. They had been sitting there since June 7 ... but the tracking # shows this (for that date) :

PACKAGE MISSED, NO DELIVERY ATTEMPT MADE;UPS INTERNAL ACTIVITY CODE

I honestly think the driver was try to scam me and his own company. UPS has promised me full refund for all shipping costs to / from my distributor ..

I'll never use them again, and i'm in the process on getting an account with Fedex.

I'd get a lawyer... UPS has been one of the worst companies I've ever dealt with...

Here's my sad story with UPS...

So I bought a new mother board about a year ago... Went to set up my brand new cpu and guess what happens, I'm a dumb-ass and set the MB on the carpet and it gets static shocked and dies... So I send it in to MSI and get a new one sent out to me... It comes, I install it and then my computer refuses to boot up...  So I've got a buddy that gets parts at a whole-seller price and can hook me up, so I decide to just send my system off to him, and have the whole thing revamped (I was just too tired of screwing the damn thing up)...  So I package my box up and take it to the UPS store... Now mind you I took special care to make sure it was packaged as carefully as possible (3 inches of packing on every side of the box), I even put in a towel inside the case, incase anything fell out on it's trip... Then I pay for up to $2k worth of insurance on 5 day ground shipping... Off it goes...  So 6 days later I get a call from my buddy who has my computer... He says he has really bad news... UPS utterly DESTROYED my computer... It was dropped so hard, that the screws that hold the hard drives in place were cut in half; that's right the metal plate that holds between the screw and the HDD has pushed so forcefully into the screw that it split it in half... On 4 screws for each drive!!!  So during it's shipping from Utah to Tennessee there were 4 nice HDDs just flopping around with only a small towel to try to stop them from jacking up the entire machine... So I go ok, lets file a complaint and get my cash on the insurance I paid for... They come out to his house take pictures, check the packaging blah blah blah... All in the mean time I give my buddy the cash to go purchase new parts to check out... So he rebuilds the machine and sends it out to me... Again great packaging, insurance the whole bit and deal on it... Off it goes... It gets to my house with a huge whole on the side of the packaging... I open it up and come to find that something slammed into the side of the box (the side where the motherboard is screwed onto the case) that it cracked the motherboard into pieces, pushed the processor and fan kit off the fitting and broke 4 pins off of the processor in the process... So I call again and file a second claim to get the insurance cash back... They come out do the whole bit and deal for awhile, pictures blah blah blah... And they leave... On both cases I don't hear from anyone who knows for almost 3 months... I call the Office Depot store (where I shipped it via UPS), they say to call UPS... I call UPS, they say call Office Depot... Finally I find someone who knows at UPS... Eventually they decide they will not pay the claim because the box was packaged incorrectly... On both claims... Funny thing is, I packaged it in the exact same manner as HP, Dell, Gateway, Sony, etc...   So after fighting with them for 3-4 more months I finally gave up... I figured the best way to get back at UPS, is to get a lawey and start a class action lawsuit against UPS for their insurance racket that they run...  I like to go **** with the UPS people all the time now though... Every few weeks or so, I roll over to the parking lot and start passing out fliers about my story with UPS trying to get people to use FedEx or the USPS... I ****ing hate those bastards now... >:(

I don't think so bob .. this might be a internal UPS matter.

They just told me that if they couldn't find the packages, the police will be involved.

Um, so they wait 15 days for the trail to go cold before they call in the police? I don't think I would wait that long.

Do you have standing to call the police and make a report yourself?
