No hoops, no red-tape, no special phone number. The number is 800-463-3339 (800-GoFedEx) - it's at the bottom of the shipping receipt when you mail from FedEx Office locations. You just call with the tracking number (also on the receipt) tell them what you want to do, and they do it.

So you were able to cancel the shipment? Is this because he wasn't there to receive it or because you were quick enough to cancel before it was delivered? Just wondering, I had no idea you could cancel a shipment.

With FedEx (and maybe others) you are able to change a shipment while still en-route. You can put it on hold at whatever hub it's at, you can add a signature required, you can even cancell it and send it back. I tracked it online and saw it was scheduled to deliver to him the next day. Five days was enough time to give him and after I found out his membership had just cancelled - I was done. That's when I cancelled it, and had it sent back.

I had no idea you could do it either, until I told my wonderful wife the problem I was having and she said "you should just cancell it and send it back" I said "what? You can do that?" She's been dealing with shipping companies for 10 years through the title industry with very important documents. She said she wouldn't use anyone other than FedEx. She has used them for almost that whole time. Other companies she said (UPS, USPS) have lost documents on her and don't have all the services that she needed, FYI.

does it cost extra to ship it back? or does it included in the original price you paid to ship it?

They charge you the same to send it back as it was to send there. So, all in all, cost me $73 there, $73 back. A-lot on a $400 unit, but waaaay better than him getting it.

Send him an amp-sized box of poo and put a nasty note in there for emphasis!:cool:
