I ordered some oil from Walmart a couple of days ago and delivery by FedEx was promised/scheduled for today. Just received an email from Walmart saying that the shipment is delayed and there was no mention of when to expect it. An earlier communication said that the package was on the truck and on its way. That was about 16 hours ago. The shipping point is about 150 minutes from my place.
Not a word from FedEx.
It'll be interesting to see when it finally shows up and what kind of communication I'll receive.
Funny, same thing recently happened to me from Amazon. (I order from both Walmart and Amazon)
I got a delay notices for a number of days from Amazon. I noticed my package seemed to be floating around about 3 hours from me for days on end. Amazon told me to contact them if not delivered by a certain date and they would refund.
Well, it finally got delivered. UPS - I knew something would be up when an Amazon package arrived in a big solid UPS box.
In the box was my order of lawn fertilizer, vitamins, an air filter for my truck, food for my aquarium and some other stuff.
Inside the box was a taped up bag of fertilizer and not only that, everything else in the box was covered with a sticky coating of fertilizer and also my truck air filter box was crushed and filter half out of the box covered in fertilizer.
I suspect all this was packed in some flimsy Amazon box, the box must have broke and UPS threw everything into a heavy UPS box and delivered it to me.
Bottom line, after two days of phone calls Amazon had me return the broken bag of fertilizer and the air filter for full refund AND refunded everything else and told me to keep it or throw it out. Honestly was able to use the stuff but I could care less about that. It was annoying that someone packed it that way.
I then ordered the fertilizer from Walmart as part of another order. Walmart shipped it separate in a nice box via Fed EX. I do like Fed Ex in our community, as a Walmart plus customer we typically get stuff delivered in half the time or less than Amazon takes. I have nothing against UPS either. I like them both.
I hope your oil didnt suffer the same fate. I suspect not. I order oil from Walmart pretty often, always in a sealed bag it arrives but I guess you never know. But Walmarts tracking is the pits. Wonky at times to say the least but always seems to get here in one piece.
