    That may have been a different pickup, mine is still "Scheduled". Who knows.

    Edit: nope. That was mine. "There is a delay with your pickup. Please contact FedEx Customer Service to schedule a pickup or drop off your package at one of the FedEx locations nearest you."

    "Pickup exception Local holiday- business closed"

    Sounds like my ongoing experiences with FedEx.

    USPS will indeed cost you less to ship the HDD, but one of the following is guaranteed to occur in shipment;

    Lost somewhere between pickup and warehouse
    Stolen by driver
    Used as door stop
    Thrown at something or someone
    General harsh treatment
    Delivered to thieving neighbor
    Put in a bin
    Thrown over fence
    Thrown at a dog/your dog

    A boring shipment conclusion for you: Fedex Express pickup managed to pick up my package on Tue May 3 after being told which floor to go to. I received my drive today, Thu May 5 and it is working order.

    This episod of Delimiter saga is kinda long.

  • Good to hear at least the drive is ok.

    You know, all this drama just to ship a frigging HDD... Talk about incompetence.

    Im going to put it out here. This puts Delimiter below Online.net and that is saying something.

    At least online is reliable.

  • Delimiter is usually quick in responding to their competition downtime with refugee offers, but where are they now?

    One of them is banned and the other is just reading but not commenting probably at damage control mode by now with this thread and the reddit thread.

    Showing good judgement and not taking the bait.

    Wouldn't surprise me Delimiter were actually done with this place now, unless LET makes up a significant amount of the customer base, I can't see how it's worth the aggro for them to be here.

    Or maybe @dacentec
    But they would need a professionle attitude like Mark.

    From comments made by multiple providers that over 60% of the business they get from LET being fraud or abuse. I wonder why anyone would admit to being a provider here.

    Then toss in the attack mentality that has been running rampant of late. I still expect the levels of good providers to continue to drop on here.

    Me I'm just here for the drama and the occasional nugget of useful information that shows up,

  • roronarorona Member

    This saga actually affected me negatively.
    Since the slot hosting is discontinued, they're unwilling to build an extra server to fill my order.
    I have a pending slot hosting paid for but not provisioned, for 2 months already.
    And unable to give me an ETA.

    What shall I do?

  • IshaqIshaq Member

    Ask them for a refund?

    Thanked by 1netomx
  • dailydaily Member

    Ask for a refund and for the drive to be shipped back. This may work with varying levels of speed though.

  • I hope the saga not continued.

  • tommytommy Member

    Refund for sure.

    Which, the drives were bought from Amazon by Delimiter for me.
    I'll certainly look into getting it shipped elsewhere if it is not provisioned by end of next week.

    I wonder how hard is it to fit 2 drives in whatever server they have in stock and turn it into a slot hosting server...or just give me a dedi...

    Well you get what are you pays for, don't you?! :)

    I don't think I've ever had an order from LET end up being fraud, granted LET is a small portion of my sales.

    Just to clarify...two months ago you ordered through Delimiter and paid for drives(s), and two months later you still have not been setup?
