I ordered something from Amazon that qualified for delivery this morning between 7 and 11. At 10:56, I checked on the status, and it was down the street from me, 7 stops away. Obviously it would be late, but ok.
At 11:21, I checked again, and the delivery van was 2 stops away from me, around the corner.
At 11:45, I got an email that the package was not going to be delivered today after all, and it went back to the Amazon warehouse. Now it says it will be delivered tomorrow instead, and to contact Amazon with “next steps” - but no link to do so directly, so I don’t know what that even means. I don’t NEED it today, so I’m not going to call and complain, but at least make that option easy if you’re going to tell people to do it?
WTaF? Was it never really on the truck or something? Why couldn’t they stick it on some OTHER truck delivering in my neighborhood today? What happened here?
An intersection in my neighborhood with stop signs one direction and not the other was recently changed so that the stop/don’t stop roads are switched.
The way they changed it to make a whole lot more sense*, but they really should have gone to 4 way stop, at least for a while.
AFAIK, there have not been any accidents, but there isn’t much trafic in the neighborhood anyway.
* a decade or so ago, the construction of a freeway blocked off what used to be a semi busy road. Now the other road is the only way into the neighborhood, so it’s busier.
I dropped a glass bowl when I was rinsing it out and it shattered. Shards of glass went down the garage disposal. I hate sticking my hand down there under good circumstances. I hope I got it all out. Managed not to cut myself at least.
I’ve had an instance where a package was “on the truck “ according to UPSguy’s handheld computer but it wasn’t actually on there.
I think that particular instance was a UPS error and not related to the company I bought the product from.
I have a feeling that in your case some wires just got crossed…and now you’re crossed (not really (obviously))…I just thought it flowed well (not obviously (really)).
The amazon truck also never came to my house at all. I was waiting at the window to make sure the FedEx guy picked up a package I had scheduled. That guy came at 12:30, and I was at the window from 8 until then, so it’s not like the Amazon truck pulled up, driver looked for the package, didn’t have it, and just left or anything like that.
No mail has been delivered to my house the past 2 days. As far as I can tell the mailman has simply chosen not to stop. Ordinarily I wouldn’t care bc 99% of my mail is junk but today was supposed to have something actually important.
My MIL is back for help with financial planning. Which usually is some combination of ‘tell me what to do so I can ignore that advice,’ and ‘tell me what to do and then do all the paperwork for me.’
New traffic signal on a 2-lane backroad along my commute goes into effect tomorrow. I predict numerous accidents from the unattentive over the next week.
My dog has a cut on her abdomen that she got at doggy daycare. It’s not bad enough to go to the vet for, but annoying that it happened and they didn’t tell me about it.
