I won this auction right after Thanksgiving; it arrived in eastern Oregon on December 1, and on the 2nd it was in Troutdale, just outside of Portland, about 3-4 hours from here.
It sat in Troutdale for 4 days, and was shipped north to Kent, Washington, where it's been for 3 days.
What do you suppose is the reason for this rather unusual route? 🤔 🙂
Mark in Oregon
Mark, I lived in the Warrenton/Astoria area for 20 years before moving back home to Ohio. I will tell you, that Fedex station in Troutdale absolutely SUCKS! I had ordered a RV Trailer cover, got the tracking number and watched it make it's way to Oregon, no problem. Once it got to Troutdale, it sat there for 2+ weeks. When I called the company I ordered the cover from, and said I wanted to cancel it due to non-delivery. It then finally was delivered 3 days later, Go figure. My guess is...They are either waiting on a full load before delivering, (which they were in the area everyday) or they were too full to deliever a non-priority residential package. Businesses come first for Fedex. Sorry for your heartburn, but that's Fedex. Hopefully it'll show up soon.
