Having it arrive a day early and not being here for it. I don’t think I’ve ever had a package arrive early.

I’m going to Issaquah tonight.

Nice. Sounds like a sweet package

Even worse is this: them trying to deliver a package at 6:45 in the morning, and then saying that it was undeliverable. They returned it to the sender, who's in Canada. It took over three weeks to get back to him, and he was stuck with the return shipping charge, as well as shipping it back to me. That is a little worse than waiting on a package.

My father noticed a FedEx envelope on the road a few months ago. Hmm. He stopped his van and picked it up. Addressed to a friend/neighbor, unopened. He decided just to deliver it. Turns out the package contained plane tickets. My dad ran into the FedEx guy a couple days later (the dude delivers to the whole town), told him what had happened and expressed his hopes that he didn't get him in trouble for delivering a package for him. The guy said that when he went to deliver the package he couldn't find it, so he just logged it as "left on porch."

Worse than waiting is having UPS steal the contents.

[Eldirial]

Yeah. Or the neighbor steal the contents.

 

[rlanger]

Ooops.

I thrown my name in for a worse than waiting experience. First time using DHL, waiting for my shiny new 37' 1080P LCD to come, and they deliver to the wrong house. Talk about a headache to see your tracking number say delivered, only to see that you don't have it, but that it was left at the house down the street, on the porch, unsigned for (weren't home), in the rain. I had a few choice words for DHL that day.

Then, my second DHL, several months later. $4000 worth of rackmount servers coming my way, same scenario all over again. Tracking number says delivered, and its not on my porch. Once again, a different neighbor had it, left on their doorstep unsigned for. At least it wasn't raining this time :\

What is it with sending stuff over a border that's so hard.
It's not like sending something to korea, It's North America.

Can't they get their act together?

Fortunately im lucky to never have encountered any extremely poor mailing issues, even when ordering overseas. They just tend to take a long time to get here thats all

Opening the door to quickly and having the delivary man knock on your forhead instead...

HAhahaha, that got me by surprise

 

[Sh0eBoX]

even worse is thinking that you have a package on the way, only to find out you had been scammed, and the "package" that was insured and tracked was said to be "delivered," despite the fact that there was never anything on your doorstep. then going to the post office and reporting it, to be told that the route mail man does indeed remember dropping off the package. where did it go? apparently nobody knows. then reporting this incident to the police only to have nobody take action, and losing the money and the package altogether (transaction with a single member of a forum, no CC). did i mention that the "package" that never made it to my doorstep was reported by the post office as a 1oz package, probably a priority mail envelope, even though it was supposed to be several pounds (actual goods)?
