I ordered a refurbished laptop. Yesterday I checked the delivery status and it said it was now in glorious Phoenix. I stayed close to home because the delivery date was projected to be 1/11 or sooner.
I live in a small house. Star Trek reruns come on at 4:00 PM here.
I fell asleep, in a recliner, after the good part was over. Kirk getting it on with cute alien chick. (Who gives a crap about Klingons?)
I woke up at 5:38 PM. (I know because I looked at a clock on a table next to recliner.)
The recliner is about 10 feet from the front door and maybe 20 (or less) from the kitchen door.
There is just an entry way from the living room to the kitchen.
The kitchen door opens onto the carport.
I got out this laptop and logged on line at 6:00 PM on the dot.
Less than 15 minutes after this I checked the UPS delivery status.
I saw this:
Go through the computer mumbo jumbo. On hold 5 minutes (?) 10 maybe.
Try not to freak out on girl (sounds like she is about 12). I'm finally told that the delivery service closes at 6:00 PM.
So I apologize and tell her that I'm sorry because she isn't the one who delivers (or in my case doesn't deliver) the stuff.
Theories?
Driver had wrong house?
My theory:
The driver is on his way to deliver my package. He looks at his watch. He see it's 5:47 PM. This is close to 6:00 PM, quitting time. So driver just blows off making the delivery and hustles back to the shop and 5:47 is written down as:

I saw this:
So I started to freak out. There is NO customer service number listed there. So I have to fumble around on line to look it up.(This really only takes about 5 minutes). I call UPS.Delivery attempted - Signature is required or unable to find secure location.
