The Breitling Watch Source Forums

This has happened once already, so I buy another watch.. this time much more expensive, and I pay $175 for Fedex shipping. $175 is a lot for shipping from the US to Canada. And then I get an email saying that Fedex quoted them $300 so they shipped it USPS Express Instead (they shipped it a day later than the said they would too). USPS costs $35. And he claimed to use Third-Party insurance, which I can't verify I don't think. So where is my $140 going? Apparently $120 of it insurance.

Why do people not feel the need to tell me when they are going from an Overnight service that was agreed upon to a service that takes 2 weeks? (USPS Express says 3-5 days but it always takes closer to 2 weeks, no kidding. Always.) Not to mention I had it shipped to my place of work, which accepts Parcels from UPS/Fedex at the door but Postal Parcels are supposed to be shipped to the PO Box, which was not given. I just don't understand why people don't ask you first. Am I being too picky?

Seems that "service" is a dirty word now days! Rarely accompanied by "good".

Having said that I rate FeDex as pretty useless too - my recent purchase from Interwatches sat in a London airport from the Thursday afternoon to the Monday afternoon while they worked out the tax & duty - either lost the firms calculator or never had a high value item shipped through there before.

I'm guessing that they don't even seem to bothered by your dissatisfaction.

Grrrrrrrr..........

My whole reason for using fedex is that they expedite the customs process rather than letting it sit in a pile like it does with the postal service... otherwise it sits there for like a week sometimes while you wait.

You are not picky--things should be as agreed -if not contact should be made to explain or change to a new circunstance. most likely will not hapen
