here's my situation.
i'm waiting on a bike that i won off ebay. it's a rare, 1930's Colson, complete, been stored in a basement since 1940. it's a girl's bike, but it has all the accessories i want for my next build, and i've been waiting for it for a month, since the woman who sold it to me had no idea how to ship it and had to have a bike store do it.
no big deal, i can wait. i got it for almost nothing. the shipping charges from NY cost me more than the bike.
so it was supposed to be here today, but the UPS tracking system said the address was incomplete, so they are sending me a post card with info so i can contact them and correct the address.
re-read that and tell me it makes sense.
if they don't have my address, how the **** are they going to send me a postcard?
so i call them, and give them my correct address (which, incidentally, is the address they have, which paypal has, which the sender of my package has, etc...) and UPS says the postcard will be here in 3-5 days. then it's another couple days before i'll actually have the bike.
so instead of sending me the package, they're sending me a postcard. WTF?
i can pick it up, but it's 20 miles away, and i don't have a car.
isolated incident?
i ordered tires from Bikesomewhere.com, and they were to be delivered dec. 23rd. when i was getting the mail that day, i saw the UPS guy, and asked him if he had anything for me. he said "no."
i check the tracking an hour or so later, and it says "package left at front door."
i go outside and it's not there. i'm sure i didn't order invisible tires, so i checked with my neighbors, and nothing.
jumped through some hoops online with UPS, and found out the package was delivered to an address about a mile away. instead of # street, it was the same house numbers, only at ## street.
so i ride (pedal) my bike down there, and steal this big box off someone else's porch, and luckily no one stopped me, because i didn't bring my i.d. with me, 'cause i was pi$$ed off and in a hurry.
on that box, my address was printed correctly twice by Bikesomewhere, and then a UPS label with the wrong address.
so if i didn't figure it out, someone might've got a cool christmas present, if they needed 24" tires.
before that, i ordered a few packages and recieved them all, but one time the driver came right about 7pm and told me the address was labeled wrong, but he remembered me, because i got stuff recently.
anyway, i'm just venting. hopefully i can get a ride to pick up this stupid ****ing bike, so i don't have to wait another week or 2 to get it.
