Still Waiting for Fish Delivery

qvcaddition — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 03:24:59 GMT

My Sweet Potato encrusted Salmon was shipped two days ago and still waiting for it to be delivered at 5:30 Pm tonight. Said out for delivery on UPS This morning. I do not live in the country. If it is not frozen when it arrives, I will call the Q for a refund. You do not re freeze fish or eat unfrozen fish on a two day delivery.

I do not know on items like this, why they do not send it rush delivery.

Uh oh. That's a long travel time for frozen items. I hope it's ok.

Does UPS have special refrigerated trucks??? It seems fish especially should be shipped overnight.

Hope it works out for you.

What I find totally weird is that my orders usually take two days to get here when shipped by UPS. But the last two have only taken one day, one order about a month ago and one this week. My order of electronics items were shipped yesterday and arrived this evening. But an order of fish takes more than two days? That just seems so turned around to me.

My orders to Calif. Take at least 7 days UPS . I did get an Pax Pax earring set in four this very week, but that is unusual. QVC said my ETC is four days. I said for fish are you kidding? They did give me a refund. The fish arrived at eight last evening and went on the truck five in the morning to be delivered. I spoke with the driver. All my delivered are usually from five to six in the evening. Anyway no more food orders for me. Forty eight hours for fish is too long in trucks .

It got to the point (when I ordered food) where I would go to UPS and pick up my things. I must be the last one on their route., because many of my things get here after 7:30 p.m.

Items are put on the truck about 12 hours earlier. UPS is not too far from where I live and I would much rather go and get the item. Especially the hams.

I am going to speak with the UPS MAN I see on the route when I walk my dog. He use to deliver at 1:30' why the change in time. The excuse I got last night was short handed, which is crock, since I saw two earlier ones on the route yesterday.

When things are shipped frozen they are usually in special containers and packed in dry ice to keep them frozen.

I had a complaint about something from Schwans once and they shipped me a replacement - when it got there a few days later via USPS it was frozen solid, packed in dry ice.

When they ship perishable food they ship it by 2day air. It should have enough dry ice inside the styro container to keep it for more than two days.

I just received something that traveled across the country (2day air) and there was still a good amount of dry ice in the container, and the product was 100% frozen.

Hopefully what you received was still frozen.

That's inexcusable.

Their shipments have lots of dry ice. It will keep you food cold for a long time. Don't touch the dry ice when you unpack it though. Pick it up with tongs if you have some.

The fish probably comes directly from the vendor's warehouse.

It did come direct, but no dry ice in styroform carton. Even said Frozen, why did they put in in UPS van early in the am and I get it at 7:45 PM delivery. Common sense would say early delivery. No they give me same late one, oh well done, and refund on way.

Was it thawed when you received it?

Re: Still Waiting for Fish Delivery

yes, but cold, and didn't want to take chance. I offered to return, but it would go PO unless they wanted to pay UPS, they said throw away. It would have stunk up the PO and mail system. They need one day delivery on frozen products, especially fish.

I got food poison from fish at a Mexican restaurant once, and believe me, it is no picnic. I thought I was going to die. They had to take me to the ER and get intervienus, sp? IV.

Sounds like it's swimming UPS stream.

Probably not a good idea to order fish now-a-days unless it's overnight delivery. Just by the way we've been seeing folks delivering packages lately. Not saying who, what, when, why, and how, though. (Our long-time postman is conscientious, excellent, BTW.)

I would call local seafood restaurants and have one of them prepare a fresh batch, then you can individually freeze them in zip lock bags. (If you can find the ingredients in the ones you ordered, just give them the names of the spices and ingredients. Good chefs can duplicate just about everything, if they have a list of the ingredients.)
