Christmas, Gifts and Delivery: Where's my shit?

Where's my shit?

By Taurus_ChicKa - 15/12/2021 08:01 - United States - Los Angeles

Today, a package has been sitting at the post office for two weeks, with a status update of "Arriving Late." I've finally been told the package is most likely lost in a sorting bin, and won't arrive before Christmas. It was a custom-made, commissioned Christmas gift, that took two months to even complete, and can't be replaced. FML

Today, the package I've waited for months for finally arrived. It turned out it wasn't for me, but for my sister, who bought the same thing only 2 weeks ago. When I called, the company told me they received my payment, but that there were no more of the item in stock. FML

Today I found out that paying $40 for next-day shipping doesn't ensure that you'll receive the item the next day or even the next week. I assumed it was my fault for ordering too late into the holiday season. Turns out they never shipped it. When I finally received it 10 days late, it was the wrong item. FML

Today, I was snooping around in my parents' closet to see what I would get for Christmas, when I came across a UPS package. It was the video game I ordered off eBay 3 weeks ago, addressed to me. They told me it had never arrived and said I should ask Santa to bring it to me. FML

Today, I get home and there's a package waiting for me. I ordered something online 2 weeks ago for a girl I like. She's not available anymore. No refunds. FML

Snail mail

Today, after moving to a new house my life has fallen apart, paperwork lost, appointments missed, job offers rescinded, and now I know why. The postbox by my new house isn’t in use, so four months worth of the letters I've posted are sitting uncollected inside it. It even has a big "Not in use" sign on it. FML

Today, it's the day before my friends' wedding. My dress has not yet been shipped from the online shop where I ordered it three weeks ago, the hand-crafted gift that was ordered last month is trapped at customs and my cats have just managed to open the drawer and eat the wedding card. FML

Today, I received an email from a shipping company telling me they had dropped off a package of expensive electronics at the front door. Too bad someone stole it before I made it to the door. FML

Today, I worked 4 hours for a huge mail call to get all the troops their Christmas mail. And just like every other mail call I did not receive one package or letter. FML

Today, I finally got a package for some pieces that my model kit was missing after I had contacted customer services about the problem. The package was still missing a piece. FML

Have you tried going to the post office and getting it off the shelf? You seem to know where it is. I'm suspicious that you didn't mention what the gift was. Is it a *****? Never mind, I don't want to know!

I told them I'd go get it because the post office is only two hours away from me, but they claim they will not let me do that for some asinine reason. And as of today, a second package has the same status in the same location. I'm going to start asking sellers to ship via UPS or FedEx and I'll pay the extra cost. If they can't, I will cancel the order.

UPDATE: The package is STILL in limbo and the post office has basically admitted they have no idea where it is or if they'll ever find it. I absolutely despise the USPS. I work at a newspaper and we rely on them at work to deliver the paper to our subscribers. I get calls daily from people saying they didn't get theirs. Someone two states away said it takes from four to six weeks to receive one issue. That is not acceptable. So I've decided that from now on, if I place an online order, I'm going to request the sender use UPS or FedEx and I'll pay for it. If they don't, I'll cancel the order. I refuse to use the USPS at all.
