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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my maid of honor, who offered to take care of my wedding dress before the D-Day, left it near her open window during heavy rain. My dress is now ruined, and she's backed out due to stress. I'm supposed to be getting married tomorrow. FML
Today my fiancé broke up with me. Two hours later, the store I bought my wedding dress from called to say it’s ready to be picked up. 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 went to pick up my wedding dress from the seamstress, only to find out that my fiancé called two weeks ago to say I wanted the dress "tie-dyed to match our new theme." She believed him. Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, it is my wedding day. I couldn't find my very expensive wedding dress anywhere. After almost 2 hours of panic and chaos, I found it in my pool, covered in red paint, with a note on one of my lounge chairs reading, "Today is MY wedding day, bitch." FML
Today, my prom dress finally arrived. My prom was yesterday. FML
Today, my bestie had me kicked out of her wedding the day of. All because I altered my bridesmaid's dress without telling her. She knows I hate fabric against my legs. FML
Today, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. FML
Today, I found out that the company I sent my wedding dress to caught fire and lost everything in their building. I was going to be the fourth generation woman in my family to wear it. FML
Today, I called a company to see why the dress I’d ordered for my best friend hadn’t been delivered. After doing some digging and ruining the surprise, it turns out it had been. Her boyfriend opened the package, deemed the dress "too slutty" and threw it out. He refuses to pay me back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Can they just keep it like that? That is still your property! Even if you don't live there.

It's okay, everyone! I am pleased to tell you all that Meghan Markle's wedding went off without a hitch. Except the one that attached the horses to their carriage.

Nope, they can't. If it was sent US Mail, that's a federal crime. If it was a private courier like FedEx it's just plain theft.

No they can’t, it’s mail theft and it’s a serious problem, not that calling the police would help she wouldn’t get it back in time

Good thing it’s a nudist wedding.

Wait what? The package/ parcel has your name on it! It’s yours how can they keep it? Or not hand it to you? even if you’re no longer a resident of the complex, how is this possible or ok to do? Hope you sort this out

Surely something like that would need a signature? Or have your name on it so you can use ID to prove it's yours. Might be too late for the wedding which is shit but there's no way they can keep it. FYL!

Maybe the woman who took over your apartment can marry your fiancé since she has the dress already.

Bridesmaid dress, not wedding dress.

OP is a bridesmaid, not the bride.

I'm confused. Did you not know where you were moving to because there's a way to forward your mail. Weddings take time to plan; was the move that sudden that you couldn't send the dress to your maid of honor, or parents house instead? The dress is one of the first things you'd want to make sure it fits and will show up in time, but with the wedding the day after the dress' arrival making it seem you ordered it late it had many problems with it.

It's yours by law, they cannot keep it. blah blah blah, doesn't take a degree to know this.

Only illegal if its USPS as its government mandated. It's a dispute with UPS/FedEx if not.

Sorry.... same federal statutes follow them. Keeping any mail or parcels that are addressed to anybody else, is a felony.
GMSP 18
It's illegal no matter what shipping method you use, because it's your property.

It’s still illegal because it’s OP’s property.

they're essentially breaking the (federal I believe) law, get the cops involved, they'll be forced to give it to you.

It's against federal law to keep mail that's not yours.
