Rant on shipping

goeduck · Jan 15, 2022

I ordered two things from Amazon yesterday. Today I went into the Amazon site and inquired about status.

on the main order listing I get:
Your package may be lost. We're very sorry your delivery is so late. Although it may still arrive, you can request a refund

so I went into chat and asked for status and got:
Your package with this item has shipped and it'll arrive by Sunday, Jan 16

I think I will just wait and see.

There are two other houses on our street where the house number is 1 digit from ours.

One on the beginning of the street, our house in the middle, and the other is at the end of the street.

We keep getting packages for the two other houses.

It's gotten to be a big joke with the two neighbors when they see me pull up in front of there places.

Must be my day for package concerns. Fedex delivered a small "sack" package right outside the garage door and behind my wife's car's right wheels. I am glad I got the notice because 30 minutes later she went to town. I asked her if her backup camera would alert the sack and she said she doubts it. I am not sure why someone would leave a small package at a garage door. The front door is right around the corner.

I had a postal carrier that would do that. She would back up and get very close to the garage door then toss the package out her window. Other carriers put packages on the covered front porch by the door. Lazy I assumed.

I may have posted this before:

I recently sent a First Class letter to an address like 319 County Road 401. That address is 10 miles out in the middle of nowhere with only 2 houses on that remote County Road, next to each other with the box number 286 County Road 401.

The correct address was 317 County Road 401. The letter came back to me 3 weeks later stamped 'Address Unknown'. I suppose either the neighbor didn't like the person I sent the letter to, or the PO system was so ridged that they couldn't cope with such gross errors. ...if only I could be so perfect.

Likely the latter
