I have placed many orders in the past, and know that the Dr's packaging is top notch, so how does FedEx do it! I was looking forward to the stuff I ordered this last Monday, Dec 29th showing up today. Sad thing is, I only live 2 hours away, yet somehow the things I ordered became damaged in transit! As when I looked up the tracking number this is what I got:

Jan 2, 2009 8:21 AM

Package returned to shipper

Unable to deliver shipment, return to shipper - Damaged in transit

Departed FedEx location

Dec 31, 2008 7:14 PM

Arrived at FedEx location
SAINT PAUL, MN

4:43 PM

Is there anyway a replacement can go out ASAP?

Thanks

That is nice and all, but I get the packages in 2 days either by ground or air, as I live so close. If you look, you can see that this was shipped on the 31st, and I would have gotten it today, that is 2 days time.

By 2 day air, the package just goes farther, to Atlanta hub, and has more chance of damage!

My main concern is just getting the package out as soon as possible, as I had placed the order on the 29th, didn't ship till the 31st. If this goes out on the 5th, I will be happy :)

Steve,

Thank you for your post. We have added the two day air to this package to ensure that the package will get out to you as soon as possible. While previous ground orders have only taken two to three business days, air service will guarantee it in two days and that the package will leave on Monday.
