Mad mad mad mad mad.

That’s me right now.

My brother asked me to purchase him a Sega Dreamcast. When he had visited me out here over the summer, he noticed there was a lot of places selling them. I figured no big deal, right? There were a lot of games that he wanted and I was able to swoop those up as well.

I found one in pristine condition. I had the guys at the video game store help package it up in a box so it would get there safely. Everything was good.

After that, everything at FedEx went downhill. First, my card kept declining there. I called the bank. Apparently, the cashier kept putting in my zip code wrong. Thanks.

I paid for 3 day shipping. It went from 3 days to 5. Then FedEx kept posting delivery slips at the house but never knocking or ringing the door bell. My brother would hear someone outside, and by the time he got to the door, the FedEx truck would be driving away.

So we finally got FedEx to hold the package at a location. My brother goes down there to get it. He notices the box is a little banged up. Fine, no harm done. The guy behind the counter goes to pick up the box.. And drops it. Drops it. Seriously?

My brother takes it home. The Dreamcast is chipped. The system’s power button is stuck. Won’t turn off. The games’ cases are all broken, cracked..

I am furious. I went out of my way to get mint items. I paid extra to shipping. And this is what I get in return. I’m filing a claim in the morning. They will hear from me. I am never shipping with FedEx ever again.
