So Peppers my new (01 23 GM) 1500.00+ chondro left for the BWI airport at 7:30 this mourning, he was registered with Delta Dash at 8am. He then sat there until supposedly 2pm which may or may not have been until 620 pm depending on the brilliant service reps at Delta you speak to. This is after all the worst tracking system I have ever seen. It had the same info on their site until 6:30pm, this was supposedly after it was already shipped?
After speaking to these rocket surgeons , I called the shipper ,expressed my concerns as the supposed new flight wasnt going to meet the new later flight into Savannah, this meaning a stay at the vets in Atlanta," like they have a vet at the airport, or could find one after midnight, I could only imagine how that would work" anyway, the shipper , now being concerned calls them to see whats up , and they said , oh.... he has been in Atl for hours, and is checked and cleared for the 630 flight to Savannah / now whatever the heck is wrong here I am not sure, but its 35 minutes to Savannah from Atlanta via plane, how does 6:30-9:20 = 35 minutes?
"Meanwhile back at the batcave Damien is computer box tracking this package, and it still says, was dropped at 8am, " the shipper calls me back after Delta called him back, tells me of this strange new event, and whhallah! to our bemusement the tracking info is updated on the site, only five hours late". So he and I chat a bit, I go take a shower, eat dinner, whatever, check , recheck. double check..... at 8:30pm I get ready to go as the flight shows on their awe inspireing tracking system"air tran has a better tracking system" its a thirty minute drive to the airport, rainy, dark , I gave myself extra time just in case, As I left I checked one last time and the flight now wasnt going to get here until 9:45, fine ...cool....whatever, its mut.
So I headed out there, I go inside at 9:45 the plane is getting there , but its gonna be 20 minutes before I can get him, go back outside, go back inside and see this package sitting on the floor that says live animal, behind these locked glass doors at the cargo office of Delta, oh looky the box has my name on it, the plane just got here, it hasnt even opened up its doors? hows my snake sitting on the floor? lets rewind for a minute. Back at the panic point at 6:30 -7, I called all of the Delta Cargo offices, I called Delta dash, I called the Savannah branch, they assured me it was on the 920 flight, and the dash office closes at 7:30 so I could pick it up at cargo, the lady even said I am the only one working at this office so I will be the one handleing your package.
Anyway I had to wait for this wretched beast as she lulled her useless self from the tarmack as does a loggerhead sea tortise up onto the beach to drop her eggs. She smugly walks up"its now 1015ish" I asked her when the box arrived - oh well a few hours ago. Holy sh#%@##@ what is wrong with these people, she had the package when I spoke with her hours before, there wasnt like some santa clause expo in town or something, there was one package-one, mine! She was like dont get mad I didnt tell you anything, what! The box was very cold, soaking wet "whatever thats about?" So without getting myself arrested for slaughtering loggerhead lady I left before my temper could adjust to the issue. I feel is Sean from Herpetologic and Paul august from MdCustom cages hadnt done such a good job packing the snake would not have made it.
In conclusion thanks Delta you suck worse than all of the carriers combined, your employees"I am not saying all, just the ones I dealt with" are genius survivers of the new millinium, and have the new link into our futures, we can all rest assuredly , we are safe with your new leadership and care.
