Hi, has anyone had this happen to them? I have an order coming from rxhotdeals and I was tracking it on the UPS web site. It said it was to be delivered today. When the UPS guy showed up with another package from JCPenneys I asked him if he had anything else for me and he said no. So I came back in and double checked the web site and it said it was on time in transit and would be delivered today. So I called the hub and she told me it says the package left yesterday from miami and was now showing it is in Kentucky. But on another system it was showing it is on the drivers truck and she is text messageing him and waiting for a reply and she would call me back. So when she called back she said the driver only had the one ground package but no AIR package. I told her it was a ground package too, not air, she kept putting me on hold then she would come back on and say your right it is ground not air but I just don't know where it is. Then she would put me on hold again saying she was checking on something else then come back with the same story. She said hopfully it will show up tomorrow and if it doesn't then give her a call back. This is really freaking me out, you know I'm feeling kind of paranoid about this. Has anyone else had this type of thing happen?
I'm really nervous to answer my door now I'm feeling like I'm being set up or something. I know this sounds stupid but I'm really nervous now. Any input? Thanks Katy

I have had (non-med-related) experiences with the UPS tracking system which defied all expanation.

I had a very similar experience with UPS and an eBay order I was expecting - the driver actually came back later the same day and said the other package got "buried" in his truck and he overlooked it. I think UPS is very disorganized, I wouldn't worry - at least try not to.

I am sure everything is OK. I have received packages from two different places on two different trucks. You would think they would think about the cost savings if they combined but.......

I also have had two deliveries from UPS
one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
but true. I would try not to
worry they just haven't gotten it together
yet. D.

Thanks, I hope you guys are right about this but now I don't know what to do because if he doesn't show up with it tomorrow, I'll be out of meds.OUCH! But thanks again I'll try not to worry tooooo much.

I wouldn't worry too much. The worst that can happen is that the package will be delayed. Last time I ordered UPS tracking showed "Scheduled Delivery 4-28-04". However I ordered on 4-23-40 and paid for second day delivery.

I logged on the morning of the 26th and it said "out for delivery", but still said "Scheduled delivery 4-28-04". By noon that day I had the package in hand. As someone above stated I think UPS is just way too busy and disorganized. I would go ahead and get your money order ready.

talk about being paranoid... You assumed you were being setup because of the confusion, but when I started reading your post, I immediatly thought the driver was trying to steal the package!!! LOL

It's sad how we dont ever feel secure in using telemedicine until we have taken about half the rx that got us so nervous! Then it starts again

TRUST NO ONE!!!!
BTW, I had a fedex pkg last week that the online info said it was in my state out for delivery, then 2 hours later was 2 states away. Then the CS rep tells me "oh it really didnt go there. It was a miscellaneous scan"???? How can something be scanned if it didnt go there???

Anyway, then she tells me that the driver is (coincidently) running "almost 2 hours late". Guess, what ?? He then LIES and put "no one home or bussiness closed" Which was really stupid because I had been on the phone with the rep about the same time he said he tried to deliver. I WAS HOME!
I ended up having to drive to the hub. I later went back to capture the tracking info to send to the company (to get credit) AND this stupd guy did it again. It had another update saying he tried to redeliver. The funny thing was, when he put that one in, I was on the phone with the local hub and making arrangements to make sure it was left there so I could pick it up!!!
The thing is, when the driver does things like this, it is really their word against ours. But the manager did believe me.
Then we wonder why we are soooooooooooo paranoid!

Yep, Yep,........ I have had a similar experience. The drivers are way too overwhelmed and will definatley make up a little "white lie" in order to save their own hide. Just be glad that we do have the option of receiving at the hub.

Hi I am new here but i would not be to concerned with ups and their errors I have my own buisness and could write pages of ups horror stories with everything from packages leaving the shipper weighing 32 pounds and arriving empty to them denying there were 2 boxes to a shipment in which the box was clearly marked 1 of 2. why do you think the touchtone terrorists did 3 albums of fake ups customer service calls lol we can hope for better shipping but......

Kintzer.. I am having that same thing right now. I even called and was told, "No. It will not be delivered until tomorrow." It clearly shows OUT FOR DELIVERY. I think I WILL run out at lunch and get my m.o.

ok, just an up date. I went on the ups website this morning and it shows my package is now in Tennessee and won't be delivered until tomorrow.!! I can't believe this and the ups guy does'nt get to my house until 2:00pm or 3:00pm. So I am already starting to hurt all over. I never had trouble with fed ex, which by the way I requested on this last order and they just ignored that. ok I'll keep you all up dated and thanks for the support.
kintzer-katy and bear it!

Oh, I'm so sorry you have to through this. I know how you feel and am really hoping you can get through okay. Hopefully you can find diversions untill tomorrow. Maybe some great movies, or something. Good luck.

Had an experience with Fedex where the tracking info said delivery attempt/no one home/ business closed. I had paid for early morning delivery.
I was home the whole time. I had checked the tracking info, saw the update which was not accurate or true and called CS...and got the run around.

This may sound odd and desperate but I was sure the package was not going to get to me. I lucked out finding the truck. I actually got in the car drove down the street and found a fedex truck. I was worried my package was in the process of being diverted/stolen.
The truck had my package. I got it.
The driver told me that a different driver had tried to deliver the package to a wrong address. Thus the confusion.

I did not believe the the story.

"Paranoia will destroy ya.."

ok it's getting weirder by the minute. I checked again now it says my package is in Kentucky again and it doesn't show it was ever in Tenn. It still shows delivery for tomorrow. Now a second package diff. med. was suppose to be delivered here today. This morning it showed it was in miami, I just thought they didn't up date yet so I checked later. At 2:00pm it showed it was is Jacksonville, I just now at almost 9:00pm checked on it again because it didn't arrive today and it shows it is still in Jacksonville. By the way all of this started out in miami, I live here in Florida. So if it is still in Jacksonville now, there is now way it will be here tomorrow, and if my other package is in kentucky, it won't get here either. I think I am in for a very bad week end. It's just all too weird for me. I don't think I will ever order from this site again or any place that uses ups. Just an update, kintzer

Kintzner,

I live in Florida too. If it now says that the package is in Jacksonville, from past experience when tracking a package through UPS, usually when it says that it is in Jacksonville it will arrive to you the next day. Check first thing in the morning and see if the status now says on the truck to be delivered. I think that it will, and you will have your package tomorrow. Anyway I hope so!!

I order through nww, the pharm is in tampa. I'm about 2 hours away from tampa. I like to watch my tracking as it goes from tampa to tn, back to orlando, then longwood, then to me. I could drive down there to tampa and back to pick it up in about 4-5 hours depending on traffic. Yeah, small things amuse me, lol.

oh man I can only hope so, I had such a terrible night, my legs were killing me I kept haveing to get up and walk the floors, I had sweats you wouldn't beleive. My husband kept asking me what was wrong and I didn't want to tell him I was starting withdrawls but at one point he said you or I are going to have to go sleep in the other room, when I would fall asleep my legs were girking around and kicking him it was terrible. Now I'm thinking I'm two days into this withdrawl, would I be better off trying to just stay off the medication? I have fibromyalgia that's why I started taking it in the first place. I just don't know. And it does show that my order is on the truck for delivery, but to me at this point that doesn't mean squat. They have been so unreliable I won't beleive it until they are in my hands. Well I keep you posted. I have another hour and a half before he usually gets here.

I realize I am replying to myself, but I do that daily Ok ups just got here, not the regulare drive which I have had for 2 years so I was a bit nervous about answering the door but I did. He had my package, I gave him the money order he said thanks and started walking away and I said don't I have to sign for that? He said no I don't think so and he left. So of course the first thing I did was count them and there were 3 extra, never had that happen I've either been 1 short or 1 over. Now the decision is do I take them or do I just try and get through this withdrawle and see how bad I feel with the oridanal pain. Any suggestions? Probably by the time anyone reads and replys I will have given in and taken them because I sure feel like Best if kept off the board. I can't even get up to do regular house work. Ok Thanks everyone for listening.

In my small experience, Day 3 and 4 are the worst, and believe me, day 4 was hell. But if you dont need the meds, which it sounds like you kinda want to quit, then hold off. Day 5 will be much better but you still want be able to sleep so you will need to get some sleep meds, I used Night time cough medicine over the counter of coarse. But this is your decision, and you have to make that. If you need some support thru it, goto drugabuse.com and go to the general board and post. Good luck, but Im probably to late. Hope you feel better soon.

Kintzer, I totally understand what you are going thru, because I am going thru the same thing. W/D's from hydro are the worst. I can't function, sleep, eat, have no energy, muscle twitches, irritable and the list goes on and on. Why don't you try to taper with the meds you have? Quitting cold turkey is hell. That's what I'm going thru now. Good luck to you.

thats why I like T3's over hydro, I would rather take 1/2 a 10/325 for less APAP and the same pain relief as 1 T3 with 300mg of APAP but I found with the hydro my tolerance built up, plus they are much harder to get then T3's. I guess I am lucky and the tylenol/codeine works, I have gone easily a week without it and was fine.

I know this will probably be hard to believe but I had 3 10mg valuimes in me and a 2mg of klonipin. No luck sleeping I hurt sooo bad. Finally I got up and took some nyquil and I guess I dozed off around 5:ooam but woke up at 7 and was just miserable. I think I will check out that web site and try to taper. Of course I couldn't hold off, as soon as I could I took 2 of my 10/500. Now I'm just kind of walking around like a zombie from lack of sleep. But what scares me is hearing that this actually gets worse on day 3 and 4. I don't know if I can stand it.
Great to have all the suggestions and support. Thank you All you have been very nice and understanding.

Good luck to you. I know how it is. I couldn't stay off them. I did want to quit because of the money and hate that I'm so dependant on them. I want to be pain free without narcotics, but I can't get past how horrible it feels.

Hopefully soon, I'll be able to taper, and actually use my prescriptions for physical therapy. It worked before. It was hard at first, but the physical therapy I had worked for me. I know that doesn't help a lot of others.

It wasn't easy at all in the beginning, but I kept up with an exercise program and I was pain free and drug free for a long time. I got sick, and let myself go. I cannot function without the Hydro right now. Not only because of withdrawals, but the pain and no energy to do anything. I can only lay on my couch and get nothing done.

Right now the pain pills are working for me, but like I said, I would like to not be dependant on them, for many reasons. One being the money spent, and the constant worry about running out. I hate that feeling.

I hope you find it better to taper, because the feeling of not having to depend on an addicting med and not having pain, or pain you can tolerate is such a good feeling. I've done it before, and I can do it again. That's what I'll have to keep telling myself. I'm just not to that point yet. My therapist is all for my narcotic pain routine, but he also is for me getting off them. He wants me on a longer acting med so I don't worry about running out. He's referred me to a pain doctor, and I will try that out as soon as I can. I guess I'll call for an appointment for next week.

You know what UPS stands for right? If you sound it out it's "OOPS"... We always make fun of them and call them that at work..

I hate UPS- I have stopped using any online merchant that uses them as a carrier, even amazon.com.

I have reported my local hub to UPS so many times, there have been so many problems with missed deliveries and time commitments. Nothing has happened- my local UPS hub is horrible.

Fedex on the other hand, never missed a delivery, except for once in the middle of a huge snowstorm last year. The guy always makes the commitment time, and they have 24/7 customer service- unlike UPS.

It really boils down to the quality of the dispatcher at your local hub, IMO- mine is horrible. I shouldn't have to request stuff to be left at the hub or buy a UPS Store box- I never have any problems with Fedex, I don't see why UPS in this area can't get their act together.

Its funny hearing you complain about UPS. I worked for them (not as a driver) 20 years ago in NJ. They were like a cross between the Marines and the Mormon Church. Hard to explain, but they had a definite culture.

Nowadays, I prefer Fedex but I have also had fair dealings with UPS. I guess the difference is that FEDEX acts like they really want your business.

You know it's funny hearing all the problems you all are having w/ UPS. I absolutely HATE FedEx and love UPS. FedEx has screwed up EVERY pkg that JUST ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY had to be there overnight. Until recently, there was no one to call at nights and weekends. Their customer service was non-existent.

They (FedEx) even screwed up delivering a flag to a retirement ceremony overseas. We jumped through our hind ends to get the keeper of the stationery (guy who flies the flag) to fly the flag over the capital for this guy's retirement. "Sure. No Problem." they (FedEx) said, "It'll be there early." HAH! A week later, they were still looking for that pkg. Come to think of it, don't think I ever got my money refunded for that fiasco. Hmmmm

Anyway, I think it's where you live that determines the reliability of these two. Just an observation.

I also worked for them for 12 years in Chicago and after being behind the scenes there, I'll take Fedex any day. UPS is the reason I have chronic pain. Anyone who has worked there knows what I mean.

Also, UPS is a union job, Fedex isn't. So at Fedex, it may be easier to lose your job if you don't get it right.
