FedEx not delivering powder

Post by flatsguide »

Last week I ordered a case of black powder, 25 pounds, and as a signature is required I have been stuck home waiting for delivery. I get a notice every day that the package is delayed and will be delivered the next day. This has been going on since last Thursday. I contacted Fedex twice and they wanted to know what was in the shipment, I said “powder for my rifle”.
I contacted the people who I purchased the powder from, Graf and Son and the told me I’m not the only person this is happening to.
WTF is going on...any ides.

Fed Ex dropped off my case of Swiss yesterday in Montana. Signature required no issues.

My case of Swiss, from Buffalo Arms, was left on the front porch. Info said an adult signature was required, but they must have signed for me.

Graf and Son promptly followed up and told me that some deliveries are having difficulty delivering as on certain trucks deliver hazmat materials

Mine from Buffalo came and I was in the driveway working on my truck and I asked the driver if I had to sign and he said that fedex had waived all the signature requirements. This was after all the lockdowns had been lifted too, only couple months ago.

Mine was delayed from Buffalo Arms, FedEx finally delivered. The driver just handed it to me and drove off. On my email that said it had been delivered, it said Dave Gullo signed for it. He must have been in the back of the truck. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Have .22 coming from Eley in TX. Supposed to be delivered on Wednesday. Still waiting. This has been a frequent scenario from Fed EX. Almost every time Fed EX is the shipper. If I have a choice, Fed EX is not it.
