After 17 days of waiting, my EQ-2 was finally delivered. With any luck I’ll be able to plug in and give it a whirl on sunday.

Fuck fedex. (There’s more to that story, that’s for a later date)

The last thing I got from FedEx was sent to a different country (despite also being shipped from the UK) and then spent 4 days on a van "out for delivery" before they came near my house.

I've had a serous ENGL Fireball GAS this year. Used to own 60W version before, and with the 25W version it seems very practical.

But now I am wondering if I should check out the Savage 60 instead. Seems like a real monster of an amp.

Now that I have a minute to type it out, here’s what happened:

They repeatedly moved the delivery date by a single day. Whatever, shit happens.
Then, they delivered two of my packages on the order a day earlier then they said to expect them, signing for my signature required, and leaving the packages on my fucking porch on our busy ass street in the middle of the day when we were not home. Fortunately, they were huge boxes (hard to steal) and one of them weighed about 120lbs because it was a fucking desk.

When my EQ-2 was delivered, my wife was home. They didn’t knock, and not only did they sign for me, they signed *my fucking name*. She found it on the porch hours later.

So yeah I’m not a necessarily the type of person to complain but I did select signature required, and nope, they just left $800ish worth of gear on my fucking porch on the street.

Nobody is doing actual signatures right now... or rather they weren't, I think UPS just started actually taking signatures again yesterday.

... Best to do then is to get the packages at their local spot...?

UPS makes you have them fail a delivery, I believe, before "My Choice" will allow you to set it up to pickup at the store. Previously, you were able to have it set for will call prior to any attempted deliveries.

... over there...
Well, where I live in the world, UPS and other parcel services do deliver things against a signing, so I can't complain there. I've had times when I had to go fetch it at their stores (UPS' is near by), but as far as I have experienced, I've never ever had any troubles... But I don't also buy lots of stuff and those that I do buy, the great majority are local deals.

We have a signature on file for FedX but in the last few months they want you to sign....ive only signed for the empty box , im in Fl and im not getting around anyone maskless with my Asthma ....period, i like myself...plain and simple....just put a X in there for me

Bought some stuff from Ebay and had to sign for it from USPS...i guess the seller requested it

Freight companies require it for the pallets we get in....

UPS....i know everyone so ive never signed for anything...

DHS...they want you to sign and they want to take a picture of you...thats not happening...nope !

Ive noticed that Amazon takes a picture of where parcels was left....you can view the pics in your order...

Things are a changing, guess there is a lot of theft

Well it looks like I’ll be waiting another weekend to give the new EQ-2 a spin. We might actually be closing on a house next week after the longest contract period ever (almost 4 months at time of closing), which means any free time is gonna be dedicated to packing and moving.
