Life, Stress And FedEx Bullshit!

As some of you know, life has been more than a little rough right now, lots of illness going around my home, lots of fun stuff to deal with in life. But I keep on trucking on and when I find a deal that can save the world, a large corporation and their inept staff take it from my fingers.

You see recently came into my possessions (through the wonder of the barter world) a high end jewellery item, that was to pay my bills and my rent. Those of you familiar with Barter Arbitrage and cash converting, this was the “big deal” we keep our eyes out for, this is one of those make or break your whole month deals that are one in a million perfect shots. So I grab it, and we get ourselves a buyer for this item…and we ship it from Pittsburgh to my good ole boy Vegas Vince to take to our buyer….AND IT NEVER GETS THERE!!! Yep, that’s right! FEDEX has taken from me and my children our rent, our bills our food….talk about the grinch stealing christmas.

Now I know what some of you are saying, come on Syl just do it again. And I would in a heart beat. Except that nice little chunk of cash that was supposed to land nicely in my lap drained my barter account for the time being,so we are right back at square one! Actually we are way back behind square one because no item, no barter dollars etc etc. So that screwed up little corporation has taken from me the last shot, the last chance…and they have done it just weeks before christmas.

Wanna see what I mean… here is the tracking info: 868147469301 punch that little baby into FedEx.com

See?! No destination, no estimated delivery date…NOTHING that should be there and would be there and WAS THERE! earlier yesterday. This pretty little peice was supposed to land in Vince’s hands at 1:30 YESTERDAY… and they have no idea where it is. It ain’t on no truck, isn’t on a plane, no where to be found.

Check out Vince’s blog for his rant on this and stay tuned to the radio show for our FedEx- The Grinch Who Stole Christmas From Five Children Epsiode.
