Tracking number is UPS and not my order. It was delivered to someone living in Camp Hill, Pennsylvenia. I'm beginning to get suspicious that I'm dealing with a dishonest merchant. Meanwhile, I have a client who need the frames I ordered by December 18th. I have to make a quick decision or lose my business.
I phoned 1-818-767-5600, Wholesale Arts and Frames,spoke to Shirleyand informedher about the UPS tracking number they gave me was someone else in Pennsylvenia. No apologies, no updateand correction were given.
