Quick bit of background=>
Due to health problems, once the outside temp rises above ~72F I stay indoors with the a/c running & only go out at night when it is cooler.
That having been said, I make orders for provisions via free shipping as much as possible.
Places like BJs & Amazon work out well that way for us.
The 1st silliness was from wallyworld.
The order made their free shipping total and got shipped out - via fedex ground.
Several days later the fedex home truck stopped out front as I watched via my front door video, sat a few minutes, then left.
The wally site sent an email saying our address could not be found.
After several days more another fedex home truck stopped out front & then just drove away - must be the large house number was not big enough for them.
No delivery was ever made - so I called & cancelled the undelivered order for a refund.
Thankfully it was still cool enough here for me to go to wally's at night & just buy that stuff in person.
The 2nd silliness was also from wallyworld.
This time the fedex home driver actually dumped a badly damaged box on our porch.
Getting the wally folks to replace the damaged goods was fun (NOT !!).
All the above silliness got me to be very wary of deliveries via fedex 'ground'.
And then...
Just lately the repeated mentions here of the better Freedompop SIM deal got me to have a look at the Target site.
I was quite pleasantly surprised to see that it offers some very nicely priced deals on several needed, generic items, so I made the account & an order that reached their free shipping level.
A week later, a busted up, open, badly damaged box with only 3 of the 4 items it was said to contain got dumped on our porch, of course by a fedex home driver.
The 5th item was the FP SIM, with a supposed arrival date several weeks in the future - via UPS !!
Calling Target had me use 45 minutes+ of my day with a foreign accented rep who has supposedly triggered the replacement of the 3 sticky, gooey items with the 4 items that should have been in that smashed up, opened box.
At this point only time will tell if we will ever get what we paid for ?!?
BUT...
I will NOT be ordering from either of those places online again - most anything else that we may need can be gotten elsewhere or just wait until I am able to move about more freely.
