Default Greyhound Sucks

Well took every single frag out of my frag tank, packaged it all up and took to Greyhound last night at 15mins to closing time. I was told it would be at it's destination at noon today. Well it's now 20:00 and of course the idiots don't have a clue where the parcel is. I will never use them ever again as this is the third time i've had problems with the garbage service they provide. In saying that there is no reason at all now for me to frag anymore, to the garbage the trimmings go now. I did put 4 of the 5hr heat packs in with them. I hope they survive if they ever get there and i'm sorry to the receiver.

Man, that really bites

I hope the package makes it to it's destination even though they can't find it

BTW, every carrier has problems
I bought something for the wife for christmas a couple years ago
It came from Texas, went through the Richmond airport, then went to Paris before it came back to Richmond, then to me
At least FedEx is fast or it would have been a limp christmas

Ouch.. sorry to year ! I haven't had great success with Greyhound in the past either.

Also, I recently ordered something from The States a few weeks ago and the package ended up detouring to Australia before coming back to North America. That was one lucky iPad case. I hope it enjoyed its time in Australia.

No wonder shipping from the US is so expensive, someone has to pay for packages going global.....

Hope they find your package and it gets where it's supposed to go!

Sorry to hear about your package. I wanted to make a tasteless joke about Greyhound losing customers things, but I think I will hold back. I hope it turns up soon!

We went through this when we traded awhile back and closed on weekends at the support center. They lost a echotec radion I ordered once too.

Default Greyhound Garbage

Greyhound will not get my business any more. Aquapin also sent me rocks through Greyhound in the summer time. They lost the package, tote was destroyed. They then denied having shipped it express, Try putting a claim in... It's like trying to get free health care in the states. I have tried calling all types of places to get to the bottom of my claim no one has heard or seen it. Unbelievable non-customer service. I would love to meet the SOB in charge of the courier division I would have some choice words and recommendations for that company.

OK, Now I feel better...lol

Haven't dealt with greyhound for yrs due to shipping issues sent a package to Red Deer and for some unknown reason it ended up in St Johns NFLD and took 3 weeks for the package to find its way from there back to Red Deer and yes zero help from Customer service online or in person.

I personally deal with Purolater never had an issue with them yet.
