Not the same Joe Bob's

So, again, I stand by JoeBob but my Friday morning QB thinks that if Tyler had just said that (what I said above) at the first interaction rather than telling OP that calling is keeping him from work whenever that occurred (can't remember the exact time line and not re-reading), the whole thing might have been averted.

At the onset of an issue we have little facts to go off of from a delivery issue 2000 miles away. Therefore, our original assumption was that the label was missing an appt/suite number, because that was the reason Fedex gave us for a missed delivery. We needed to call Fedex, and see what the resolution was, to get the full story.

However, we called Fedex and they stated they had no idea why the driver stated it was missing an appt/suite number as the address looked fine on their end and it was going to be out for delivery ASAP. it was delivered just fine the following day. If I were a betting man I'd assume it was a lazy driver who didn't want to deliver a package to this guy or this address (I'd have no idea why?) so he made a false statement about the package's address to push it off a day. In the end it's much easier to see what happened vs the first 30 minutes after a handful of communications with the customer and little to go off of. The only thing anyone here could have said to begin with was that we would be calling Fedex to see what was going on.

Just a theory from my past investigative experience.

Maybe it was deliberate by the driver who knows how to get gun stuff without paying. I'm sure everyone has seen the videos and heard the stories about Fedex, UPS and Post Office personnel making off with goods. These so inclined people get to know what companies sell what.

Not accusing, just stating a possibility since Fedex said they had no idea why the driver would do what he did.

It was delivered the following day so it wasn't stolen...

First, let me say I completely agree with JoeBob's side of things and feel the OP continued to dig a whole throughout the entire encounter and after. The profanity is definitely not cool and I can swear like a sailor even though I was only in the Army.

However, I did not know how the FedEx address problem is fixed. I think the OP thought if he got on it fast enough and JoeBob did as well, the truck would return and re-deliver. If you asked me to say would that happen or would it get delivered tomorrow, I'd pick the latter because it's not really feasible for the truck to return unless it was in the same vicinity. JoeBob explains that these things get handled at the end of the day and regardless of Tyler calling immediately or at end of day, the package was going to be delivered the next day. So, while my gut knew the answer, I now have a concrete explanation confirming that the package will be delayed one day to fix the FedEx error, regardless of when it's fixed (as long as it's fixed that day sometime).

So, again, I stand by JoeBob but my Friday morning QB thinks that if Tyler had just said that (what I said above) at the first interaction rather than telling OP that calling is keeping him from work whenever that occurred (can't remember the exact time line and not re-reading), the whole thing might have been averted.

Maybe I missed something and this thought process is wrong? What say ya'll?

Don't flame me if you are reading the above as anything other than I'm siding with JoeBob because that's not the case. Just spitballing alternative endings.

As soon as money is flowing again, I'll spend some more at JoeBob as I need to build another AR.

I wish OP was still arguing his point, though.
