Dear UPS,

Thank you for purging your tracking records. Not.

I'm really enjoying the fact that the package tracker is telling me that the item I ordered that was shipped yesterday arrived in Des Moines, Iowa, in November 2006.

I'll try and pick up a Tardis with my next Amazon order, so I can go back and collect the other item that was shipped...



Kthx.

You must be mistaken, the records say it happened to you a couple of years ago.

*grins*

no no, I sent something, and they left it at the wrong address a couple months ago, the persons house they left it at was nice enough to call them and have them pick up the package, then ship it to the right address.

I should have clarified.

Ah- funnily enough, the royal mail do the same thing to me!
I receive something addressed directly to me with a note on the outside saying "Wrong road!" about two weeks late. This was a letter on which the address was exactly right, the postcode was right, in fact there wasn't a single mistake.

It's sort of the counterpoint to the stories you hear of the postal services delivering things to the right address when they've had their address label printed in the wrong characterset.

Beware- if you keep clarifying you may end up like Atropa, who is now stating 'XOR' every time he would've formerly used 'OR'. I can't imagine what brought him to this state. *innocent grin*
