Today, it's been 2 weeks since I ordered a printer so I could print schoolwork, that way I don't have to sit on campus so long to print it all out. It just got delivered in Arizona today. I live in New York. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after waiting two weeks for an email with my online textbook access code, it still hadn't arrived in time for my quiz tomorrow, so I ended up spending most of my money on the expensive physical copy. Not long after I got back home, the email finally arrived. FML
Today, I had to visit a client because his printer had broken down. After driving for an hour, then being screamed at about how horrible my company's service is, I walked over to his printer and found the problem: there was no paper loaded. 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
Today, as every day for the past three weeks, I had to hear my housemate complain about an order being delayed. The last couple of orders took two months to arrive, and she decided to order yet again from that company, so she checks daily and I have to hear about it. 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, after finishing a huge French essay, I realized my printer wasn't working. So, I emailed it to a guy in my class to print and then give to me. When I get to French, he said he had already turned his in early and never got my email. It turned out he used mine. I got an F on the essay. FML
Today, I was so tired that I thought the item I'd ordered a few months ago had been delivered then stolen, so I emailed the company about it. When I checked back on the website, I realized it hadn't actually been delivered yet and I read the invoice wrong. FML
Today, I did a 3 hour long assignment for school. I was bored so I gave it the title "F***ing Assignment for a F***ing Teacher." I went downstairs only to discover that the printer was out of ink. So I sent it to her email, then I realized that I didn't change the title. FML
Today, my mom paid $40 for overnight shipping on delivery of paint for my Art major dropout sister, but insists on making me wait two weeks for my diabetes medication. FML
Today, I was wondering why the new book series I'd ordered hadn’t arrived. I ordered new books because my mom constantly bitched at me about being on the internet too often. She took my laptop away to "teach me a lesson". Only I need my laptop to get the confirmation number to track my books. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess sitting on campus printing won't seem so bad compared to driving to Arizona to pick up your documents. Be sure you see The Grand Canyon.

Hey Op, I live in the Phoenix area. I could resend it back to you if you'd like. Hope it did not cause you too much dread. :3

some campuses charge per page and things. ( with the exception of computer classes/labs, but even that i won't swear on for all campuses. ) that yours doesn't surprises me. plus if you're writing a paper due first thing in the morning, it's easier to print it at home than run to the library before class/es to print it. especially if it takes longer on ops campus than on others.

Sounds like an internal theft. That's how employees steal big items; they print a label with a friend's address and send it to their house. Might wanna call the shipping company and report that.

OP here. I emailed the seller (it was a 3rd party on amazon). They told me that they were glad I brought it to their attention. They said they would file a claim and send me a replacement. I'll have to see how that goes. If it fails I'll be emailing Amazon. For some clarification for a few people, yes it was cheaper for me to buy online then in local stores. Secondly, I have classes in the late evening and usually don't get out until 8 or 9pm then having to sit and print makes it longer and I live about an 45 minutes from campus. I work before class so I can't come in early to do it and after class I'm just ready to go home. I'm hoping this gets fixed and I wasn't scammed. ill update if i get it or not. No more 3rd party sellers for me. Ha.

So you've never lived in Arizona? They just ****** up? That's a bummer, OP! It sounds like your days are very long. I can totally understand why you'd like the convenience of your own printer. Hopefully it gets sorted soon! Good luck with uni :-)

Well the good news is Amazon (in my experience) runs a pretty tight ship when it comes to holding their third parties accountable. So the question is how much more time you get to piss away after hours at university. I feel for you, I remember those days.

NY to Arizona? That's only a jump, hop, skip and a two way plane ticket away! That's not too far ;)

why would you order a printer to be delivered from out of state? Does New York State not have any printers? I can get one at my local Walmart, I'm sure you can too. after all there's a Walmart in every other town.
