Back in June, Mom found her dream knitting machine. An Artisan 245 and Ribber (BRAND NEW) came up for sale. Ever since she was 20, she had wanted a knitting machine. After Grandpa Roy passed, she bought a some off ebay, but they were used with parts missing, and she wasn't able to do much with them. The ones she had purchased were stolen and/or demolished when her place was vandalized this last spring. She was thrilled to have found this brand new set...and since I knew I was going to get to learn how to use this with her, I didn't try to talk her out of this purchase. So, for a savings of $300-$500, I helped Mom start this process.
Here is what Mom purchased: "Brand New Artisan 245 knitting machine and Ribber. In original boxes with all packing material, manuals, tools, cast on combs, punchcards, etc. These machines normally run $1000-$1200. Yours for $695 including US shipping. This machine is listed other places too."
The wonderful seller sent it off from South Carolina June 23, 2020. After that...we waited. When July arrived...we started to worry. Here is what our experiences have been from Mom's and my point of view:
Dear FedEx...perhaps you could find and keep drivers if you were to pay and treat them well. When I spoke to the service representative today, I was told Mom's item was still in Billings because they didn't have transport for it from Billings to Kalispell. Yep, sitting in Billings since June26th.

Tell her I’m so sorry. I know she was looking forward to having the machines. I bought boxes large enough to fit it in and packed it very carefully. I have no idea why they couldn’t handle it.

We are all wondering how they couldn't handle it. I'm also noticing they aren't giving me another survey to fill out about my experience.

...so, I went back to my message with FedEx. This time I got this from Trisha. Thank you for that information. I apologize for the delay with your shipment. Our records show a trace is currently open, and is being researched by the local FedEx facility, and our trace department. Upon review of your case, I am not showing updates at this time, but have asked that our trace team call you back with more information as soon as it becomes available. I am not showing a claim has been filed yet. You may file the claim online at FedEx.com/claims and receive periodic updates from the Claims Dept. http://www.fedex.com/us/fcl/pckgenvlp/online-claims/index.html. On behalf of FedEx, I apologize for any inconvenience or frustration that may have been caused by this matter.

Hi Debbie, this is Kelly. I do apologize for any frustration or inconvenience. I will review and respond.
Debbie, I regret this happened. This is not the experience we want to provide. FedEx is genuinely concerned with providing the highest quality service possible. The notes on your case indicate that your shipment was unable to be located.
I recommend contacting your sender/merchant to advise them that you did not receive your shipment and to inquire about reimbursement or reshipment.
Again, my apologies. I hope we have the opportunity to serve you more favorably in the future.

Here is the response:

That case number indicates the same thing that the package was unable to be located.
My apologies, as a member of the US Social Media Team I am not authorized to assist with claims. For questions regarding claims, please contact 1-800-463-3339 and request to be transferred to the Claims Department. Claims hours are 7am to 7pm CT. My apologies again on behalf of FedEx for the inconvenience this has caused you.
