All the customer horror stories are true. Every. single. last. one. of. them. I ordered two items online from the e-tailer Beauty.com late Friday night, July 31, 2015. By the next afternoon, Saturday, August 1, 2015, I'd received a shipping notice. For the next 24 hours, the tracking number could not be found on LaserShip's website, which, OK, is somewhat par for the course for internet tracking numbers. By Monday morning, at 7:32AM, my items were officially out for delivery according to LaserShip's website. Afternoon comes and goes, and my package is still out for delivery. Late afternoon finishes, then evening, then late evening. Around 10:05PM on the expected day of delivery, I saw the tracking status updated from "Out for Delivery to Customer" to a blatant lie: "No one a delivery location" - yes, typos and all. That merely goes to show you just how professional and responsible this supposed shipping company is, eh?
By the next morning, August 4, 2015, a whole host of additional lies, and a correction to the original typo, was added to the tracking history, including the status "Loaded onto vehicle" twice, once at 7:32AM (umm, I thought the package was originally "Out for Delivery to Customer" at 7:32AM - all this frenzied doctoring of the original tracking history the following morning sure seems fishy to me, what say you?) and then again at 9:55PM, just before the alleged delivery attempt that supposedly took place at 9:59PM. First of all, who loads a package onto a van/truck for delivery at 9:55PM (yes, PM)? Second of all, the apartment building was chock full of people. They could have rung my bell, they could have rung the bell in the adjacent unit, hell, they could have rung all the bells in the building, multiple times even. Play "Jingle Bells" using the bell if they want. Either way, they would instantly have discovered that, lo and behold, people were indeed present in that building at 10PM to accept the package (oh my gosh! SORRY - I meant 9:59PM! a whole minute before 10PM) on a Monday. Hello, highly incompetent, inefficient and irresponsible LaserShip delivery guys and gals and powers-that-be - this is very early August we're dealing with here. It's NOT even the height of the Christmas shopping season. Wow. Imagine if it actually were - I shudder to think what the unfortunate and anxiety-inducing possibilities would be. Customers probably wouldn't see their orders delivered by LaserShip till the following January! So, in conclusion, how do I rate LaserShip's delivery abilities and level of service? Zero stars, F-, 0% out of 100%, all the negative ratings, scores and points I could possibly give this particular shipping company. Like many have declared before me, I just cannot fathom how this genuine mess of a shipping company remains in existence and is still doing business with SO MANY UNSATISFIED AND IRATE CUSTOMERS that have been subjected to undue stress and nail-biting anxiety.
By the way, I never got my items. I demanded an immediate refund the evening that the stuff was scanned as "Out for Delivery to Customer." My stuff remains in limbo in the hands of LaserShip. I've e-mailed them twice to let them know they can return to sender. Whether they do is another saga altogether. read more
