[QUOTE="Star*, post: 395923, member: 4964"] Okay NOT and repeat NOT to stick up for ANYONE here - but maybe to help you understand shipping - (as I'm getting into this now) What happens in Mississauga isn't just Mississauga - When they say THEY got backed up by the snow storm - It COULD (emphasis on could) be that the back up happened in OTHER shipping destinations which CAUSED the delay in Mississauga. I know it's whacky - but I can ship a pkg. across town - have a snow storm 100 miles NORTH of here and be told the delay is due to the storm. I'm like WHAT STORM? I could have WALKED it across town - and THAT is what I was told. The storm does NOT necessarily have to be LOCAL to back things up. However - when you signed the parcel to them - you can check the fine print and it will say either NO guarantees or GUARANTEE - If it said GUARANTEE - check to see if the guarantee says - NOT COVERED BY INCLEMENT weather - if THAT is the case you have no basis for a claim. If it DOES NOT? Then speak to a manager - and ask for a refund. But be prepared for a lengthy battle. As for me? I'm with you - but thought it may help you to understand that the terminology of backed up doesn't necessarily have to be in that town - they can claim backage as far away as 1000 miles. Nice huh?
