Anyone else constantly/obsessively checking for shipment updates? I swear I’m checking hourly lol

 

... Not looking at all. I want to be surprised when I come home from playing golf and some Cobra boxes are at my front door. Especially if it is a bad day on the course. Although a good day on the course works too.

So I had to check and it looks like I've got a package inbound!  But, uhh... Shipment exceptions aren't usually a good thing, right??

There could be something like inclement weather that's causing your delay and usually they resolve within 7 days. I think you might be able to contact FedEx about it and find out what's going on and maybe resolve it sooner. Hopefully it won't take that long to get them in.

Mine is this way too, Jerry. Said the label got damaged and they had to replace it. It’s happened to me before and I’ve always gotten everything without issue. Fingers crossed for both of us!

[JerryB]

@Jnoble89 Mine has the same reason.  I work in a warehouse so I see this kind of thing regularly, I'm not terribly concerned.

I was watching that episode of Futurama and figured it fit!

We're getting so close to kicking this thing off! Hurry up, FedEx!

[Tom the Golf Nut]

I'm still on schedule for a delivery tomorrow. The dimensions are not that of a bag box. Fingers crossed for clubs!

WEIGHT9.2 lbs / 4.17 kgs

DIMENSIONS37x17x11 in.

I'm ready to see what is in the box. I was going bag, but looking at the dimensions of 37x15x9 I'm starting to hope it's the irons. Plus, at 9 lbs I feel that's what it might be. Might have to come down with golfitis Friday.

I’m ready for the team smack talk (friendly, of course). Getting oh so close!

... Friendly? I am looking forward to making Jnoble and Freddie quit the game. Sirchunks and JerryB switch to bowling and Tom move back to Jersey or wherever he came from up North where he won't have to play for 6 months.

It would be hard to get me to take bowling back up, my scores in bowling league were about the same as my golf scores. 130, 124, 118....

Now it’s getting spicy! 

[Tom the Golf Nut]

Now that I think about, It's ok if the clubs delay a bit. Then it will be 115 degrees when chisag is playing. 

 

Wow, look even similar hats.

... Seriously, the irony to your post is I don't play when the temps go over 114*. We had 5 days in a row at 115* or over setting a record in June 2021 and I played one of them and wished I hadn't. I played at 114* and with a little breeze in a cart it was manageable. Thankfully we only have a few of those every summer. But around 110* is pretty common in June, July and August. 


 

Month   High / Low(°F)         Rain

May.      94° / 67°.                 0 days

June.     104° / 76°.               0 days

July.       106° / 82°.              2 days

August.  105° / 81°.               2 days

When you're as bad at golf as I am, and still haven't quit the game, good luck finding a way to make me do so! My need for expensive hobbies is too demanding!

This man means business! Not even waiting to figure out who his teammate is, he's just trash talking them all, haha.

I'm really just looking forward to some friendly banter between my new (virtual) friends...

Oh who am I kidding, I plan on winning this entire d*mn thing...lets hope for the sake of @chisag, we are paired up

Come to think of it, back when the testers wanted thread was open I made a post stating that if @chisag and I were both selected, I requested to be his partner so he could carry me to the podium! So that's basically as good as having it in writing when it comes to a forum!

Well, Tom, I've made it as long as I can today without asking. Any update on your delivery today?!?!

Probably bad news for me. FED EX shows it should deliver between 10:20 and 2:20 today. On the tracker it says in transit to Mt. Juliet TN. That's about 8 hours away from me. Probably sitting in a trailer waiting to be scanned. The excitement, the hope, and the reality of disappointment. 

Probably for the best I banged my left elbow, and it is the size of a golf ball. If the clubs were here, I would have snapped some opening photos and been off to the course aggravating it even more. The elbow should be better by tomorrow. Hopefully the clubs show up as well. 

Believe me if they were here you would know about it!

I feel you, Tom. I turned down a round of golf Thursday because FedEx has my delivery scheduled for then. There's not enough time to drive home, take photos, place them in the bag, and head back out to Chattanooga. Plus, I don't think my playing partners or the ranger would appreciate me setting up the clubs to get good photos of them. I think they might just think I'm a little crazy. 

I might be, who knows?
