right...
Was it an oversized part? FedEx has been extra stupid lately and refusing to pick up parts that they deem oversized. What I mean by that is I had something (I really don't remember what specifically it was) and normally it wouldn't be oversized, but FedEx recently got bipolar and now anything that is longer than 70 inches in any shape or form they say "No not taking it". Part I had was 70.8 and they said no to that. Felt bad when I told the other person we couldn't sprint it to them anymore because FedEx refused to touch it (I once had them pick it up and rbing it back a week later saying they can't do it) and said it was too big, but it was too small for freight. FedEx driver told me that they don't do anything over 70 inches at all anymore but anything less than their standard dimensions won't qualify for freight. So from what DPAC told me is that they are having to mark all those parts as local only. Fun. FedEx has no rhyme or reason for it and it has been making me mad. Everytime I call them, no help. There is also a common thing where sprinting dealers will commit and confirm it, smack the label on it, and then not do a thing after that. Or they will commit and confirm and then print the label but not go grab the part till DPAC calls them. Those are the ones that you will more than likely have to hunt down to get any kind of information from. I think I mentioned something about all that in my DPAC tips and tricks post a couple of weeks ago.
