My 10 year old R2000 printer finally gave up the ghost and I'm unable to get the heads clean enough to make a decent print. Timing wasn't so bad, as I've been lusting after a P700 and Epson finally offered a rebate that made the cost more bearable. B&H did their job...the printer was ordered on Aug 24 and shipped via FedEx on Aug 25, with expected delivery on Aug 27.  By the 27th the tracking showed it in transit in Chicago with a new delivery date of Aug 28.  FedEx tracking continued to show it in transit in Chicago for the next *five* days; why they had it roaming around the city of Chicago for that length of time I have no idea.  I was finally able to contact a real person at FedEx on Aug 31 to investigate and also asked B&H to intervene as the shipper.  The printer finally arrived this afternoon by courier. Needless to say, FedEx shipping and delivery performance was less than stellar. So...is anyone on the list printing with an R2000?  I have some new cartridges - these are the 159 series - that someone can have for the cost of shipping.  If no one on the list is interested, I'll put them up on ebay or as a last resort they're worth $2 each to me if I recycle them.  Since they're new I'd prefer that someone could make use of them. Here's what I have: Magenta - 1 Cyan - 1 Matte Black - 3 Photo Black - 1 Gloss Optimizer - 2 -p -- Paul Sorenson Studio1941 Sooner or later "different" scares people.

I don't need the ink, I'm using a Canon, (insert boom joke here), but I had a similar experience a few years ago with a package sent by USPS.  I watched as my package left Tennessee, was sorted in Atlanta, shipped to New York, got to Connecticut, and then for some reason was returned to Tennessee, moved around various USPS facilities there for about five or six days, was apparently put on a plane and flown directly to Connecticut and delivered the next day.  I actually showed the tracking page to a USPS employee and they couldn't explain why it happened.

There's a popular variation to this theme, over here, with DHL: In the morning, your parcel shows as "Loaded into the delivery van. Will be delivered today." Some time in the evening, that changes into: "Could not be delivred. Will be delivered on the next day." The reason is simple: the driver had too many Amazon Prime parcels on board which he has to deliver with priority. So, once he sees he has more than he can handle on the day, he puts all other parcels aside. I've had parcels been driven past my door for days on end before they could eventually be bothered.

I've had a few unpleasant experiences with UPS and one with FedEx, but never had a problem with USPS. On 9/2/2021 21:46:31, P. J.
