I didn't know it was possible to be any worse than the other shipping companies..

Post by: demik on Wed, 03 December 2014, 00:16:40: im pretty ****ing forgiving too. i get it, holiday season and all that ****. plus driving around is stressful as ****. I GET IT.

i just dont tolerate lying and ****ty customer service. if you didn't have time to deliver my **** just let me know. don't promise me something then lie about an attempted delivery when i was here all day. and as you can see, i'm not the only one.

Post by: byker on Wed, 03 December 2014, 01:29:24: You should complain to amazon, they seem to have pretty good customer service and will hopefully switch to a different service if enough people complain!
Title: Re: ontrac is the worst shipping company ever.
Post by: demik on Wed, 03 December 2014, 01:52:25: i have, twice. i even showed them the yelp reviews. i get the same ol' "we'll escalate it to our shipping department" response. this time i got a free extra month of prime.

Post by: intelli78 on Wed, 03 December 2014, 01:58:10: I agree, Ontrac sucks balls. The only times I have had Amazon shipments not arrive on the guaranteed shipping date have been Ontrac deliveries.

You're not living in Incan times anymore Mandolin, surely they don't use Llamas to deliver in Chile!

You're either lying/ exaggerating, or lasership really uses mules to deliver!

hmm, this gives me an idea: "Incan Times" Theme Park. You ride a llama, see a human sacrifice, study the lunar calendar. Hate the Spaniards. It could be a lot of fun.

Oh yeah, ontrac suxxit. Jeff Bezos suxxit it too. When the revolution comes, he's like no. 2 or 3 on my list.

Post by: compgeke on Tue, 16 December 2014, 18:22:41: Interestingly the couple times I've had a package come from them I never had an issue - today included.

It is all from Newegg using the free shipping, which means I'm only about 400 miles away. Not a lot goes wrong in there.

Post by: katushkin on Tue, 16 December 2014, 18:27:17: You should try Yodel.

As of last week they had a backlog of 5 million packages! They are Amazon's main distributor in the UK! They routinely update your tracking saiying they attempted delivery, when they don't even bother! Sometimes they just leave your **** on your doorstep for hours so people can steal it! Their sorting office is in the middle of bat**** nowhere! They are also used by Argos, as well as my favourite site in the world, Ebuyer.

**** Yodel.
