fed up with fed ex

I have been wanting a new digital camera which would reach out farther than my kodac even though I still cant get on to posting pics and after Fabs has tried to help me with this mission. Anyway, I found a Cannon S2 which I can put a telefoto lense on at a decent price and ordered it. Beach Camera shipped fed ex. Tuesday I came home from work and found a note on door saying we could not leave your package as no one was here to sign for it so I signed the bottom of the tag authorizing them to leave it and I would be responsible. Yesterday after coming home from work i found a slip on the door saying 2nd attempt- could not leave package you must sign in person. so the neighbor met fed ex today for me but couldnt get the package because he was not authorized and they put a note on the door we are sending your package back to shipper unless you call this number today. I called it but cant connect since I dont have a fed ex account. So I called the camera store and sat on hold a half half hour.They said we will ship it to your work after we get it back as long as you are there to recieve it. I tried to explain I drive a service truck and am not in an office to some dude in NJ who speaks broken English. After some profanity on my part i was put on hold again and finally spoke to a lady and told her I paid with a bank card, I have checked my bank account and they have my money, I have signed a waiver for fed ex to leave the package and I will be responsible. I told her I am a single guy and cannot afford to loose a days pay which is more than the cost of the camera by staying home to meet the carrier. She basicly said sorry that is the way it is. After a few choice words I told her to keep the camera and give my money back. She said if that is what you want us to do you have to email us because we cannot gurantee we are talking to you on the phone..
So------Whats a fellow to do????????????
