I am really pissed at UPS. This week, after having transportation issues in Jersey on my last trip I decided to give in to to Technology Lust. I got the iRiver last weekend and this week, I ordered the Garmin iQue 3600. I was hoping to use it on my trip to Georgia since I have to drive from Atlanta to Columbus. I ordered it from Amazon.com and paid for 2 day shipping. Well according to UPS this today it was out for delivery. I was so excited. I couldn’t wait to get home and play with it and write a nice blog post abt it. However, this was wishful thinking.

I got home very late from work today about 6:45pm and I found a note on the door, apparently I have to SIGN for the package, OK fair enough, however there was no way to sign the form and leave it for them to leave the package like Fed Ex does. I was pissed. I got changed and called UPS at 7:05pm. I asked if they could deliver it across the street to a neighbor who would be home? Sure no problem they said and took the information. I was relieved until the rep informed me that since it was after 7pm. They could not make the change. What? At this point I’m asking myself, no email? What about the little machine the dude carries around?

I expressed my dismay and she said they’d deliver it again tmrw and Monday between 10am and 2pm. First of all who with a normal day time job is home from 10am and 2pm? Also I need this before Sunday!! So now, I have to drive up to Reading tomorrow to pick it up. So they can send a message to hold it at the disto center but not to change the address? WTF!!!!

So now I’m really bummed, I gotta wait until tmrw to get it. I gotta drive even farther (with gas being what it is !) and now I can’t do what I planned tomorrow afternoon which was… Test driving a Mini Cooper Convertible!

UPS…
