I have to share with you all the package delivery from hell, thanks to Mouser and UPS. This is for a package travelling from Texas to Utah.
1. Jun 29th - I order some DIY headphone amp supplies from Mouser and give them the correct address.
2. July 5th - UPS attempts to deliver the package, but fails. Apparently Mouser has left off my apartment number from the address.
3. July 5th - I call Mouser and they admit that they have left my apartment number off the address. They say they will contact UPS and arrange to have the apartment number added.
4. July 9th - UPS attempts to deliver the package, but fails.
5. July 9th - I receive a postcard from UPS (mailed to the original address mouser had put on the package, with the apartment number left off). USPS has no trouble delivering the postcard to me. The postcard has a phone number to call and a control # for my package.
6. July 9th - I call UPS and the lady reads off the updated address they have for my package (mouser had indeed called them) and it is some weird address in another town. No wonder the delivery failed. The lady says I can pick up the package at the UPS distribution center and gives me an address.
7. July 9th - I drive 20 minutes to the UPS distribution facility to pick up my package. The package isn't there. They say their drivers have not come in yet, so it's probably still on a truck. They take down my address, and I even get to proofread it this time!
8. July 10th - UPS delivers my package, but not to me!
9. July 11th - I call UPS again and the lady reads off the address where my package was delivered, and it is a different address yet again, in a different city. She takes my phone number and says they will call me back in an hour.
I do have to add that when I called Mouser on July 5th, the lady told me that if they can't get this worked out they will send me another package out by fedex. It looks like it may come down to that!
