Re: Is fedex right? did ship get delayed for central Mass?
We're from Boston(and we're on Vacation!!), and we scheduled our pick up for FRIDAY!!! The FedEx man showed up with this little truck (after we told them we were shipping freight) and he refused to take it. Today- We had a semi coming with a lift so we could actually fit the robot on the truck(w/o killing ourselves). FedEx said it would be there between 1 & 3. 3:00- Mentor Calls FedEx, their excuse was that there was ONLY 1 TRUCK between Boston & Worcester for FRC Robots!!! We were told to wait until tomorrow, but with us being on vacation we had to make a deal with FedEx.
Thank god there was an empty truck leaving the TD Banknorth Garden and that truck got dispatched to our school. Our school does not have a loading dock, so when we realized this truck did not have a lift, it just meant a lot of heavy lifting ( it was me, the lead mentor and the FedEx guy).
Long story short, after almost splitting the crate in two from lifting and dragging it onto the truck the robot is GONEEE!!!!!!
