What is Military Delivery? I paid $60 to have 10 chicks shipped overnight. It took 2 1/2 days to get my chicks. When I said I wanted a refund of my shipping money they said it was sent military and the guarantee was not applicable. These chicks were shipped from NY to MI.

THAT is a new one on me. Never heard of it. Unless you mean APO? Is your address an APO address?

 

[Frizzledhen]

No, my address is not APO. Under the box for overnight ship is another box that says millitary ship. Both boxes were marked. The postal worker pointed it out to me and said that since the military ship box was marked, the guarantee was not applicable.

Okay, I've only been working for the P.O for like 7 months, but have never heard about that and it wasn't in any training we had. Hmmm...

Is the sender military and maybe got a discount? I'd e-mail them (the person that shipped you the package) and ask them for an explanation.

i have never heard of that one either unless person sending or recieveing is an apo addy.

well the breeder told me they should cover the refund it did state next day delivery by 3pm and she has agreed to use the refund for shipping/box to send me 2 more birds at my request instead of just a refund of money. i just have to pay the difference which is the cost of the birds so i'm very happy and satisfied with that. the new pair of frillbacks should be here next week and i can't wait and am very much looking forward to to their arrival!!

Thanks Asher.
I sent an email to the lady asking for an explanation. We will see what she has to say. I do know it didn't cost anywhere near $60 to ship the birds. And, she used a used box to ship them in, which I okayed.

 

[therealsilkiechick]

they will only refund the amount listed on the box of actual shipping cost. i paid origionally i think it was $67 shipping to breeder cause i had to pay for the boxes also. so only $47 of that is what i get back not the full amount. i think that is reasonable asking me to pay box fees, they r expensive, even when reused.

the reship birds were shipped tuesday and once again the post office has lost them

and hasn't scanned them again since tx. i wasn't as worried the last time the weather was fine but now it is hitting in teens at night here and they should have been here yesterday.

the postmaster can't locate them so it at this point is a wait and pray moment they make it here. if they don't come on the trucks today how do i find my babies??? how do u track a package they r not scanning??

 

[Frizzledhen]

You really need to get after the post office on this. Keep after them until they find your birds. Don't set back and wait, start demanding they find the birds and that they do it NOW. LOL Yeah right, that would probably make them not do anything. Just keep after them and let them know how important it is that the birds are found. I hope they come in today for you.
