I'ts not often that I send out a broadcast like this. I think this is the first time. However; I am not happy with service I have received from UPS. Most of you know, about a year ago I started researching the purchase of a rebreather. I have spend a lot of time and money doing this research. This included trips to look at and dive the various equipment out there. So, I go ahead and purchase a MK-15 from Kevin, send him my money (quite a large sum), and he gets the rig ready for me. Last week Kevin ships the MK-15 to me UPS, and e-mails me with the UPS tracking number. Today is Monday, and I'm thinking that I should have received the MK-15. When UPS faild to show, I'm thinking OK, its the holidays, I'll go to UPS's web site enter the tracking number and find out when I should expect it. On my first attempt I received an error that the tracking number was not in the database. So, I go back to the origional e-mail, and copy and paste it into the field. I get the same error. So, I call Kevin, and confirm the tracking number. He confirms the tracking number so I call UPS. I can not beleve<sp> what I heard. "Sorry that tracking number is not in our system." Ok so I ask to trace the package, and I'm told that the shipper must initiate a trace. I call Kevin back, and he faxes me the sheet from UPS and I try again, perhaps I just got someone on the line who is new. I get the same story. Then I call Kevin back again. He calls UPS and is told well sometime the package does not get scanned, and if I don't have the package by Thrusday, UPS will start at trace. Well excuse me people, this rig cost me a great deal of money, I'm getting ready to go on a trip with it and UPS, has the nerve to say, "WAIT." Hey you don't have a record of the tracking number because someone forgot to scan it. That indicates there is a SERIOUS problem. And for anyone who has not seen a MK-15, and the size of the box it's in, I very doupt that it was overlooked, as it is in a large silver box about the size of a steamer trunk. If there is anyone with knowledge of how to get UPS to move, and solve a problem, please let me know. Bottom line. I encurage everyone to use FedEx. They are a little more expensive, however, I can get on the phone or there web site and find out just where a shipment is with confidance. When UPS, solves this problem, I'll send a note stating so. Thank you for your time. Respectfully Robert P. Lockard (o) 540.786.0169 (h) 540.785.2428 (fax) 540.785.6929 Robert Lockard (o) 540.786.0169 (fax) 540.785.6929
