A poor excuse for a company
A poor excuse for a company. I made a purchase on 31 October 2021 and paid for USPS expedited shipping, because it had to arrive no later than 08 November 2021 to a hotel my relative was staying at. The order took 5x business days to "process" and was finally shipped out on 06 November 2021. USPS "forwarded" my package to an unknown address, which delayed the package delivery by a day. My relative informed the front desk to reject the package (they left the morning of 09 November 2021, package arrived in the evening 09 November 2021), but hotel staff accepted it regardless. Now my package is stuck in a hotel, unable to be returned/refunded, and my relative is back in their home country. Scaling it down to Redcon1, I was dialing their customer service throughout the week of "processing" to place emphasis that I need it shipped out no later than 05 November 2021 in order for it to arrive in time to the destination. I gave them my circumstances, and of course, the staff provided me cookie-cutter responses, stating they could not prioritize it, or cancel the order. If the order had been "processed" in accordance with my timing, a relatively reasonable one, I would not have encountered my two follow-on issues and would have received my order on time. I'll highlight, that any reasonable company would have understood my circumstances, and that I have never in my life seen something take more than 2x days to "process" prior to shipping. What's the point of paying extra for fast shipping if the company itself is the bottleneck?
