Ordered last October. January is when I called my credit card company, because Amazon was the one that facilitated this madness and claimed I could get a refund, but did not provide a way to do so. I found it on an Ebay search in March and scored. Apparently, lost FedEx stuff is sold in auctions in NY.

Friends don't let friends FedEx.

I once had a package stuck in a FedEx loop for four months. Did I get the package? I was able to buy that package from a surplus dealer that got it a few months after that and shipped to to me USPS in a week.
