Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Too late
Today, I finally bought the expensive but beautifully stylish dress I've been eyeing for ages online. Ten minutes later, I went back to check the shoes the model was wearing so I could coordinate my outfit. The dress had been reduced to half price. FML

Online shopping strikes again
Today, after saving up for a beautiful new dress to wear to my partner's 30th birthday party, it finally arrived in the post. I tried the dress on and the stitching instantly ripped, leaving two big holes in it. Turns out I'm no longer a size 8. FML

Today, I bought a $3000 HD camera. It never shipped to my house, so I was concerned. I then realized I had given the seller the address for a house in California. I live in Maine. FML

Today, I found out that FedEx delivered my $700 package to the wrong person. The person who signed for it didn't even spell my name right. FML

Today, I mailed out a college application that is going to another country. I paid $250 for the application and $11 for shipping. I just realized that I forgot to sign the bottom of the application. FML

Today, I bought a new, expensive dress for a date. I left the tag on and hidden in hopes of returning it later. Someone saw it and ripped it off for me to "save me from embarrassment." FML

Today, I got a call that my custom order bridesmaid dress is at the apartment complex I just moved out of. They won’t give it to me because I’m no longer a resident, but they just thought I should know. The wedding’s tomorrow. FML

Dressed for success
Today, I realized the dress I bought yesterday still had the security tag on. I returned to the store to get it removed, only to realize I'd lost my receipt. The lady at the counter thought I stole it, called security, and had me escorted out, dress-less. FML

Cute kitty
Today, after I'd ordered a cute dress online for an upcoming date, I tried it on, only to realise it was more of a glorified napkin than a dress. The tag online had said “One size fits all.” I now have a dress that fits my cat better than it fits me. FML

Hope you can contact the company in time OP!

I'm sure that can be changed. If you bought it online they should send you a confirmation email. You could call the store and have them change it.

You realise that, apart from the country, you had to put the name of the city, right? So a very quick search from the company will show them that the city (and the full address) is not in Austria but Australia. I'm sure is a common mistake, but always double and triple check! Specially with expensive items!

Just get in contact with the shipping company. People make errors on their address all the time.

Holy crap! I pray to GOD they can fix it before shipping it!

I did this once and only realised once the tracking showed the package heading in a suspiciously European direction. I contacted the company as soon as I realised after I read on the shipping web site the sender could redirect it mid transit. Instead they just responded they'd send the package again. I assumed they'd redirect the other package back to them from Austria, nope! It arrived in Austria they must have taken one look, face palmed, grumbled 'not again' crossed out Austria wrote Australia and send it back on its way to me. So... I ended up with two of everything I bought in the end. It was great, because they contained some rather expensive geeky gadgets, but I wouldn't try and get away with it again. I think this probably happens a fair bit op, it's an easy slip of the finger on a drop down list. I'm sure you will get the dress, it will just take longer.

Such a small comment.. It's hardly worth using.

When you have a country with a name so close to the other you should watch for it! Computers are constantly assuming CA is California instead of CA. Should always review your shipping info I voted ydi.

CA is California.

CA is the country abbreviation for Canada.
