I'm on hold with HO b/c a shipment is LOST. It happened with one box from a show of 6 boxes and now a direct ship. Shows up as data transmitted to FED EX and then nothing. Everything else was delivered.
Anybody????:mad:

ya...happy customer means happy me! I just checked and it was shipped tonight! WOW!!!!
 
"Data transmitted to FedEx" means HO's shipping system has it as weighed and manifested and when the nightly transmission occurred the data went. If it doesn't update (scan at FedEx's first hub will change the status), it means the box is lost somewhere inside HO shipping or before it is scanned at the hub...on a conveyor, on a truck, on FedEx's conveyor. Sometimes boxes can get knocked off a line and cause that.

You did the best thing...if it is in this status for a few days - call - it is easiest to reship until found.

Glad they took care of you right away.
 
chefdianne has had this happen at least 2 times since we switched to Fedex. I don't know what they are doing at the HO, but they need to get their act together.
