I am a late package...TWO of them to be exact...
I loathe incompetence...
I really do. I've been getting screwed on deliveries lately...
I ordered something the other day and had it sent to my friend, who has a PO Box. I find out that UPS does not deliver to PO Boxes so I called the retailer(it was a web store) and tell them my current situation. The customer service dude was cool. He goes, "Yes, you're right, UPS will not deliver to a PO BOX. Let me cancel your previous order and make another order and change the shipping option to USPS instead of UPS." So he gives me a new order number and I'm thinkin, "Cool, that was easy." The next day, I get an e-mail from said(or unsaid) retailer that my order has been shipped. I'm thinkin, "dang, that was quick," except I notice that I am given a UPS tracking number! So I call the store again, and tell them what happened. I find out that the dude that re-did my order freakin forgot to change the UPS to USPS, so that whole first phone call was completely pointless. And now, I can't do anything until the package arrives in California, after which I must find it's location and THEN tell them I need to change the shipping to UPS. I dont' have to pay anything else, but DUDE...wtf?
Here's the second scenario. I order ANOTHER item, actually, it was two items, from a different place. I get the confirmation e-mail and I find out both of my orders have been shipped. I receive one like 2 days later, and the 2nd, has yet to come in. It was supposed to come by a certain date, and I still do not have it. I look at the e-mail and there's like a 7 day window of when I am gonna receive it. The 2nd order was smaller and easier to ship out than the first...so it's either lost or totally delayed. And now, I am delayed....argh. Can't we just get our packages on time? W/o all the hassle? Sheesh!
Here's a funny little thought that came from my conversation with Cic. The cliche "I feel like a million bucks" doesn't really say much anymore. Because a million bucks is only a nice, but measly little two or three bedroom somewhere in Orange County. That statement is totally outdated. You have to say, I feel like a million gallans of gas, or like 10 million bucks or something. Funny how the times can actually make sayings obsolete...
