Homie had to ship home his newly mounted chipotle bananas.
we went to the fed ex office store next to the Marriott at heavenly village.
girl claimed she was an expert shipper and told us leave the skis and she will make sure they get home safe.
they arrived today. Zero stuffing, zero bubble wrap. Just skis tossed in a box.
bindings are chipped and bases have some nice marks. They’ll ski just fine but this shit shouldn’t have happened. Stay away from this fed ex store if you’re in the area.
eheathare you seriously trying to cancel a hotel fedex store because your friend decided to not pack his skis himself?
Absolutely not, and my little post on NS isn’t going to get anything cancelled. Lol. We aren’t that special.
I am passing along info to my fellow skiers who might need to ship for one reason or another their costly ski gear home and would like to be informed on their choices.
It wasn’t about packing it ourselves. The store was busy. The girl wanted us in and out. So instead of handing him the box to construct and filler etc to just stand around in the store blocking other people, because there was already a line. She said she could handle this. Does skis all the time etc etc.
It is a fed ex office. Their claim is to handle everything shipping including custom packages and boxes etc.
If you pay for a service ( which there was an additional packing fee) then you expect to get the service.
We didn’t just walk into a fed ex hub and toss some skis at some random person and walk out.
No hate but this is the equivalent of doing the online Walmart order and picking up all your groceries only to find that the produce is the worst of the bunch and all perishables expire in 2 days

Nah actually tho I would be pissed too, have you tried contacting the fedex office before NS? If it really means that much to you, you should call them or sum.

PartyBullshiitMf learn the song. If you don’t get it, it’s on you.
I know the lyrics quite well, you just missed the fact that your username isn’t original. Therefore I attempted a joke about how you should have changed the original phrase to make your username original.
Yeah man pack your shit, she probably charged you out the ass for it as well.
next time weigh them plus a telescoping box, tape the tips and tails and bubble wrap or crumbled up paper around the bindings.
reason to weigh them, instead of getting fucked by a shipping company, go to pirate ship and plug in weight and dimensions. I’ve shipped a few skis for selling, and save like 30-40 bucks each time

At home no doubt. All the time. On vacation that’s not as easy.
PartyBullshiitAt home no doubt. All the time. On vacation that’s not as easy.
Please, tell us more about how you're a lazy and spoiled child who is incapable of solving basic problems like packing your own skis in a town that literally caters to entitled fucking assholes like yourself.

They sell all that individually at shipping stores and most likely they’ll let you borrow a bit of tape. Also any hotel would have a printer and supplies

More than welcome to your opinion no matter how wrong it is. You literally know nothing about me. But do go on. Child? I’m 40 yo little boy lol. Not my skis. I packed mine just fine when I went out there. Had zero issues. But must be fun making ASSumptions.

As mentioned she wasn’t interested in selling us anything. Made it clear she could handle everything. They were packed. She made it clear they didn’t even have a box that was ready. She’d have to make a custom one. So there was no just getting materials and leaving.

pro tip, go to a ski shop and ask for a ski box, they always have them and dont need them
CoolChillGuy420Guy got to go to Tahoe during a once-in-a-100-year season and is mad about shipping materials lol
Na he’s mad that his new moment blades that got skied once are now chipped up and have base gouges that weren’t caused by him. Maybe you’re balling and don’t give a shit if your stuff gets messed up for no good reason.

See now that was extremely helpful. Moment only had boxes that could fit the skis alone. No bindings so that was a no go. Never even thought about walking into another local shop.
eheathare you seriously trying to cancel a hotel fedex store because your friend decided to not pack his skis himself?
Yeah this is dumb. You can't blame the whole store for one employee however if you ask them to pack the item, it is expected that it will be packed properly. All carriers readily advertise this as a service. Usually they go overboard with packing materials.
Neihartcatshart1bro really expects people being paid 15$ an hour to give a shit about his skis
Yes. It's called integrity. If you can't get your shit together to do what you're fucking paid to do then fuck off. A wage doesn't change the responsibility here.
PartyBullshiitYa he filed a claim.
So why the fuck did you make a thread? This was one employee's poor decision. Shit maybe she didn't understand the need to put packing materials inside. Skis look pretty durable to begin with.
That being said, FedEx in my experience tends to have less care for box integrity. Every package I get looks like it was tossed off a building, whether it says fragile or not. Keep upright? OK, item shows up on its side. I've had a shipping delay on nearly every FedEx package I've received his year. UPS all the way.
Tldr: your friend is a retard. Who can't find space for ski blades in luggage? Lmao what a scrub.
