This is all very odd I ship anywhere from 10-25 packages a week FedEx all require signature delivery and only these oil pans are having problems LOL

Failed delivery today cuz i was at work. Checked options for delivery since I won't be home during the day. Only options are to have it delivered at a different address or schedule the day I want it delivered. Both options require paying a fee.

Dude I hear ya! I spent 15 minutes arguing with this lady and she would not budge!! I've never had an issue with UPS - they always are willing to move the package to one of the many local UPS stores so I can go pick it up Saturday. Some are even open Sundays.

My bare pan with plugs arrived today unharmed. It is a beautiful piece. The little one-way flapper baffles are precision fit, move with no bind and make solid click against the stop when slamming shut. Neat design, Charles.

Thank you! I just made 12 more pans!

Those flappers are a hassle! I need to figure out something with my laser cutting guy to handle them so they dont require all the hand fitting work.

I appreciate the post

Thread Update:

The Pre-Sale is now all caught up and run its course.

I am happy to say this product is now a standard product. The first post has been updated to reflect this. Pans are in stock. The webpage was updated to accept standard orders. There are 2 pans in stock right now, and more that were just machined and will be ready for shipping in a couple weeks.

We can keep this thread going for any questions comments etc. I am going to ask an admin to just remove the "Prototype" word from the thread title.

Lastly, for those of you having trouble with FedEx. I am about to call them again and fight it out some more to figure out what their problem is.

I just went another 10 rounds with FedEx... they are done-zo. Took off my credit card authorization and probably got myself put on speaker-phone for the entire call center's amusement.

Todays outgoing is the last of FedEx from me.

What I've done is have packages held at a FedEx Office location which has always been free. Is that not an option?

Always was before. Now they just tell me there is a restriction and they will not allow it. What they will not tell me is what the restriction is, or why, or who placed it, or anything at all. They will not explain anything, they just say that they cannot and will not and that they are going to send the package back to me and bill me for shipping it anyway.

So would it be cheaper for me to just redirect it to my office? I think that option was like $10-15. I actually would have originally asked you to ship it there had I known it was going to require a signature.

At this point I am not entirely sure what the options are. When I look at your package, I have all the same restrictions that I had on ENT-Z's where they wont let me make any changes... and after 4 phone calls with lots of yelling I am convinced that they are never going to explain to me why they are doing that with these packages. If they will let you redirect it, that might be the only way to actually get it from them before they send it back to me.

I'll try that on the morning when I get to a computer

I ended up canceling todays outgoing with FedEx and printed UPS labels for that stuff and still got it out! F FedEx! They are done.

Japanjay · 09-23-2015, 11:46 PM

Damn I was going to change my shipping address to my business that is open from 4am-8pm with someone always there but you already shipped out today. Hopefully UPS wont give me the run around. Tracking number?
