hmmm, I only saw limits of 5

limit was always 5, I think it was just because I put in the order pretty late first round so they only had 4 left, maybe.

This is why I hate FedEx so much.  I never left the house all day.  USPS delivered 2 packages today, UPS delivered 5.  But yet, FedEx couldn't seem to find me at home.  Bastards!  To add insult to injury, I can almost see the FedEx terminal from my front porch.
 

I hear you.  Fed Ex is the only one I have had this problem with as well.  And it's not like they have never delivered to me in the past.  But suddenly, now they are unable to find my house?!  It would be different if our house number wasn't prominently posted on the side of our house with a light over it.  I wonder what their driver/delivery person turn-over rate is.

My USPS and UPS drivers are great.

FedEx driver usually just yeets the boxes onto my porch.

Our fedex driver has started leaving the packages on the driveway in front of the garage. Not even bothering to walk 15 more feet to place them under the covered entryway out of sight from the street. Nope. Just the least likely place for us to notice them but advertising to anyone driving by, “packages!  Take us!!!”

I've got a new guy who is doing this (and working out of the back of a rented Ryder truck), but my garage is behind my house so it's more of a hassle for him. Plus I've got a doorbell camera so I get a notification when packages get delivered. Somehow he manages to elude detection by the camera pointed at my garage so I only know I got a package because of the notification.

Those that ordered multiple orders, make sure to check your bank statement, particularly Target.  They just double-charged me for the same order.  Same transaction number and everything.  They did that same thing last year.  Bastards!

You should ban them from your credit card for exceeding quantity limits

My orders from SAH where items went OOS this past weekend (40th Trains, Avengers Tower, etc) but I had other items have moved to Warehouse, I got E-mails direct from SAH giving me a heads up.

 

I wonder how much $ kohls loses on crappy shipping...and the bags are just killing me...I pulled a Karen and complained to our local ups mgt Bc the separate truck they were sending for my stuff they would put the bags under the boxes, so if they weren’t crushed before they didn’t stand a chance.

Yeah, that's not very good logic.  That's about as smart as LEGO shipping throwing the keychains and promos in first and then stuffing the sets and packing on top before forcing the box shut to tape it.

Ok which one of you lives here?

HP Astronomy Towers  from Zulily shipped. Not sure how my HOA will feel went I add that partition to the house

The grill cracks me up for some reason.

Still no actual shipment movement for my Lego SaH black friday buys. They were marked shipped and given USPS tracking numbers on Monday but haven't shown up in the USPS system at all yet. I get that they are all busy, but...

My house looked like that this week, separate Penske trucks each day, nor my normal ups guy, but we put up an awning for the sole purpose to avoid the rain!

Yeah, gotta love that.  Grill and chair out on the front lawn.  "It's Saturday boys.  Round up those UPS shipments for the week while I grill up some hot dogs!."  Good family time every mom can buy into.

That looks like a sign posted "Rob me."  I pay $600 a month just to have a business presence in my local county business incubator system.  Includes a secretary/custodian (like Marsha on the Bob Newhart show.  One receptionist for all businesses.)  Also, two fridges and microwaves, free laser printer/fax/color copier, meeting room, etc.  Dedicated mail room, all deliveries inside, even after hours.  When I see photos like this I feel very fortunate to have it.  You can store a lot of LEGO in 900 sq ft.

LOL!  I live in Alabama.  We have those on every corner.  Especially, the guys selling bows.  If you want guns, those are on the back row.

Wow, that's cheap.  Ain't happening hear in CA.  I wish there was a way to receive deliveries at my warehouse.

@raindog I've been looking for a solution like that near me. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything. I am torn between receiving packages at my home, which normally isn't terrible, or setting up a keypad and camera system at the warehouse so the delivery drivers can just drop everything there. I'm weary of giving them access to the warehouse however it would be VERY convenient. 

This past week we received personal uhaul trucks twice a day with teams of 3 people unloading stuff into our garage. If they were spaced apart enough I had enough time to clear room for the next unload. One day I didn't and I had the girlfriend pick up a uhaul, so we could take the overflow away from the house. I'm sick of having to do stuff like this so I'll probably accept the risk on the warehouse deliveries and invest in some good security and increase my insurance.

Alternatively I'm trying to figure out if USPS or UPS would allow me to ship my items to a post box at their location, then pay for a once a week drop off so i can be there.
