So.....I stumbled across a 700B in my adventures in MN (I live in Denver) for work and purchased it Monday night after work. Caught completely off guard for shipping, I ran by a Fed-Ex Pack and Ship Tuesday morning on way to airport. You can already tell where this is going.....right?? Not even a chance!!! :-( So the store manger checks in my new-to-me amp and prints my overnight by 10:30 AM delivery label and takes the label and my amp into the back for packaging. I collect my receipt and I fly home as excited as a kid on Christmas Eve.....dreams of building my very own WOPL 700 all swirling thru my brain.....even overpowering all the other chemicals I may have inadvertently stored up their in my frivolous youth. Back on track.....I got up early Weds morning and drove two hours away to do a quick job, and received a email update telling me to get my butt home.......there is a new toy waiting on the porch. I outran four motorcycle cops, 2 helicopters, and a swarm of troopers and deputies in my 300mph race home. As I walk up to the door, I spy with my wandering eye, a box that was maybe 14 by 14 by 14 and weighing in at all of 2 pounds even drenched in the adrenaline charged sweat pouring out of me. I looked and it had the label I printed in MN on it.......crap........I am still crying. Those freaking idiots put my label on the wrong box. I have a email showing they received a 53 pound box from me and the next update shows a 6lbs package enroute. Wish I had noticed that right away. I alerted Fed-Ex post hastily and am now waiting for that box to be delivered to the wrong person in hopes that they will call it in. Apparently they can't go back and check the log for a 53 pound gorilla of a box leaving that store and and pair it with the tracking number it was assigned and figure out where it is headed. No no, that can't be that simple. I opened the box that I received (what's behind curtain 2 Monty?) in hopes that there was maybe an invoice with a name or phone number or something...or at least the Hope diamond in there. Nope. Nothing. 2 freaking bags of Carmel popcorn from MN Candy Company. I lost in this deal "yuge"!!!!!!

I have been calling every hour asking "have you found my amp yet?......where is my amp???!!" The odd thing is they haven't even offered to come pick up the box they did deliver.....

i am starring at it wondering if it would at least taste as good as my amp would sound. It is called the Chicago Mix....Carmel and Cheddar mixed together.
Definitely JAZZ.

That really sucks. Those fly-by-night packing and shipping locations are not what one would want to use unless absolutely necessary. Sorry you had to use that lack-of-service facility.

If you insured it for enough money, maybe you can get your WOPL, but FedEx only knows you have a box that was delivered properly, that damn popcorn, and the heavy box is going to the proper delivery address. Hopefully, this will get straightened out when the popcorn lover gets their delivery.

Just got a phone call from Fed-Ex Memphis facility. They located my box, are refunding all charges, and are delivering it to me tomorrow. I guess lesson learned, next time I will wait till I see my item go in the box and label adhered. I never know what I may come across when I am out on my daily adventures traveling from town to town. Next week is WY (Casper, Sheridan) and Rapid City, SD with a side trip to Sturgis for a day at Bike Week possibly. It's a rough life.....I swear!!!

Skipping the middleman is a hell of a lot nicer anyway.

Wyoming is awesome.

(Don't let the residents tell you otherwise) :)

PS Carmel and Cheddar, is that better than Hope and Change?
