More UPS Train Derailments
Apparently I’m “derailment central” for all news related to UPS train derailments. I’ve gotten e-mails and comments about more UPS train “derailments”.
I’ve sent a news submission to CNN to see if they have any information or would want to do a story on these derailments.
Maybe CNN will find something out, maybe not. Who knows. I just wish you guys didn’t have to deal with package delays. In the mean time, read some of the comments on both of the posts. Phil’s comment is pretty funny, sorry we’ll get a laugh at your downfall, once again I wish you didn’t have to experience any BS delay.
“Amazingly enough, my package was on a ‘derailed train’ at 7:00am which was then listed as ‘late’ twice also at 7:00am and then at 2:37pm listed as ‘arrival scan’ package in transit. What the hell kind of derailments are they experiencing? One wheel comes off the track and they stop till some fat guy can lean on the train really hard till it pops back on? I agree with the majority of you, this is all bullshit. It’s UPS’s answer to being able to be tracked everywhere and be inefficient at the same time. Fedex does’t tell you “sorry you plane has crashed, package is late’ and then later that day say “your package is in transit by dolphin that picked it up during the water rescue effort.”
No idea what I’m talking about? The very short blog post that started it all and The follow up that started drawing hundreds of website hits within a few days
perhaps they should stop using trains? hell, i think a carrier pigeon might be more reliable at this point.
