Cell Phone Delivery Issues!

Let's talk package delivery for a moment...

So, on Friday I ordered a new BlackBerry. My old one was worn out, and the microphone was busted. In my defense, I did try to salvage it for a few LONG months. I even sent it to the Blackberry Doctor (yes, there is such a thing)! Almost $70 and one week later they said they repaired it, but I do not believe they did. ANYWAY, that is why I decided that it was time for a new phone.

So, I ordered it online (the pricing was better), and had it shipped to my house. Now, I knew that it was very likely that I would not be here when the delivery person came (since I work from 8:00AM until 5/6:00 each night), and I knew that the delivery would require a signature. I just assumed since the tracking website indicated that it would be delivered on Monday, that the delivery person would leave a door tag, I would sign it, and they would make a second attempt to deliver the package and leave it on my porch since I signed said door tag. Well, I came home on Monday and sadly, had no door tag and no phone. After careful investigation (online tracking), I discovered that the driver said that the address listed was incorrect. UGH! Seriously, I (and my parents) have been getting mail at this address for the last 20+ years. THEN I had to call the delivery company and let them know that my address WAS listed correctly.

I was so irritated because I knew I would not be home when they attempted to deliver the package, so I devised a plan! I printed the tracking screen from the delivery companys' website with my tracking number, and I left them a kind little note with my signature authorizing the release of the package. I really didn't think it would work, but it did!!!

I know, it's definitely the little things in life that excite me!
