Shipping Nightmare 2.0

 - by Kim

Long time, no posts! Sorry about the silent period, I’ve been a bit distracted. I also had a handful of comments in the queu that I had no idea about and I will definitely follow up with each of you! Also, check out our black friday/cyber monday ad, posted above. Nifty, eh?

Yet Another Shipping Nightmare
Well I had another shipping NIGHTMARE the other day. I finally got the picture that I can pay for my postage online instead of standing in ridiculous lines at the post office on a daily basis (why didnt I think of this sooner?). There’s also a UPS store a couple of blocks from my house so I figured it would also make sense to drop off my packages there instead of driving several miles to the post office or a drop box.

And yes, this is the same UPS store involved in Shipping Nightmare #1.

This is also the same UPS store that never gave me a quote on business cards after contacting them numerous times.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice….you get the picture.

Yeah, I get it, what was I THINKING actually dropping off a package with these people. Well I did on a Friday and they said the package would ship out on Monday. So I check the tracking code Tuesday morning, and surprise surprise, the package hasn’t been received by the post office. So I march myself over there to try and find out what’s going on. It turns out that the manager was supposed to take the mail to the post office but ended up going out of town because of an “emergency” and took the mail with him, apparently. And this is the same guy who pushed their business card service on me but then failed to follow up once I actually wanted them made. *sigh* I can’t help but feel sorry for the poor sales girl who works for him because every time I go in there it’s like he’s working for her.

In the end the packages got mailed and all as well. I’ve also found another shipping station just a couple of blocks further away.
