Another Lasership/Amazon disaster. If only Amazon would replace Lasership with someone who can show up on time at the right location. Supposed to be "same day" Amazon delivery at an address to which Lasership has delivered many times before, as well as UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. -- not hard to find. Instead of getting the package on time, we get a notice that "delivery was attempted" at 7:30 or so -- we were here and no one attempted anything (and no notice or form left reflecting a real attempt -- probably just a delivery guy too lazy to show up). Next morning we call Lasership customer service -- supposedly package is already out for delivery that day -- check the address, all set. Get a new online notice at the end of the day that the package in question has only now been loaded on the truck for delivery tomorrow (2 days late), and they have no idea why it wasn't delivered today or when or if it'll actually be delivered tomorrow. Customer service says they can't answer any questions about our package because they aren't in the same office as the package.
Update: Now Amazon and Lasership tracking show package delivered tonight at 8 pm to "front door" and signed for by "front door." No such delivery has been made -- we were here all the time and received nothing so far. Looking at other reviews, it seems posting a delivery one day and actually delivering later is a common problem. Someone apparently from the local Lasership office, replied to this post saying he would "take care of it," so maybe that means marking it as delivered without actually delivering. Ironically, other Amazon items ordered same day, but for slower delivery -- by US Mail! -- are beating these "same day" items.
Further Update: More bizarre still -- three separate Amazon orders, not all ordered at the same time but all supposedly to be delivered on schedule today by USPS (not Laser), are suddenly "Delayed Sorry, your package is delayed because of an issue with the carrier." No weather problems, for example, and it's not a USPS holiday. A couple of hours later, they're back on the truck for delivery today -- but the mystery remains.
Another Update: Another call to customer service to see what happened with the "delivered package" that still hasn't arrived (two days late and counting). Apparently it's in a Lasership vehicle that's out for delivery, but not to us -- best guess now is that it'll be delivered this evening (ten or so hours from now) by a "night" delivery person. I upgraded the review from one to two stars for the extra effort they finally seem to be making on the back end. Latest excuse is that they thought our address ended with "Drive" not "Road," but the address was already correct -- obviously they just didn't try to deliver to the printed address. You can tell this is just an excuse because, if you google just the root of our address, without the "Rd." you get the full address -- there's no equivalent "Drive" with the same root anywhere in the US, let alone in our neighborhood.
Friday night (Day 3): The package due three days ago was supposed to be delivered, again, tonight. Customer service called at 6:50 pm to say their driver brought the package back, without delivering it this time or calling before returning, because he thinks we've moved [but like to send ourselves packages to the wrong address??]. Nope, been here for over ten years, getting lots of deliveries from every other operation in town, but for some reason Lasership just can't find us. Supposedly they deliver until 9 pm -- why not run it on out here tonight? -- nope, now they want to deliver it Saturday (Day 4). Called Lasership customer service -- they checked with local outfit and the package is still sitting at the local office. (Keep in mind that this package was, according to LS's online tracker, still listed as delivered yesterday and the day before, plus the drivers claim we don't live here any more.) Had to demote LS back to one star, which is the least you can specify.
Saturday (Day 4): Waited around all day Saturday for the SAT AM delivery, which never arrived. Called LS customer service twice, which checked with local office twice, with two different excuses. Excuse 1: Driver is currently out with package but lost or can't find our address (well, everyone else can -- just google/mapquest it?). Talked with local office dispatcher who assured me that, now that the driver has our phone number, he'll be delivering it right away today. Excuse 2: No sign of driver for two more hours, so call LS cust service again, which calls the local office again. My package is now put under "investigation" and they have no idea where it is or when it'll be delivered -- maybe Monday at the earliest. Why is that my problem? Just tell Amazon you screwed up, take down your false statement the package was delivered when you admit it wasn't, and tell Amazon to fill the order and deliver it pronto. read more
