I got to a point where I could pick it up, and the box was EMPTY. Nothing in it at all except the cardboard and styrofoam packing material. Am I now screwed because I signed for it without inspecting it?

Also, contact the company from which you purchased it to notify them that nothing was in the box.

Check the Fedex website and punch in your tracking number. There should be a weight listed.

It shows 10 pounds.

I called them, and they are going to call me back. I called FedEx they are going to pick up the box on monday.

My big problem in all this, is that the computer I am typing on is sold and has to be shipped out today. That leaves me without a computer until this mess is sorted out, and it is not something I can do without. I guess I am on my way to buy another one.

No way you can just borrow one for a few days?

I think I may have an old one somewhere I can use if I can remember who has it.

Here is what FedEx told me. It is normal for a box to come to you empty when it came open one of the shipping facilities. They have started a trace for it, and that will take 48 hours. From what they are telling me it is still at one of the facilities they just have to find it. I still have my fingers crossed. They did tell me it did weigh 10 pounds when they got it, so it has to be there somewhere.
