Rave: UPS

Post by ghostrunner »

My Xbox came back from repair and they attempted delivery today while I was out. I'm going to be out of town until next Monday so a normal re-delivery wouldn't work. It would fail twice and get sent back. Or I could pick it up at their depot, but I really need to pack and do other junk tonight.

Called the number on the slip and was given the option to reschedule any day between now and the 13th. Chose June 9th and the talking computer lady made it so. Awesome!

Yeah, the talking computer lady just hooked up with your Xbox, they're going to be making Wii little ones between now and the time she uses him up and ships him off to you, totally spent.

He'll thank you later, she should thank you now.

In contrast, the FedEx lady is a real [expletive]. How can you not [expletive] understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?! I'm saying "TRACK PACKAGE" very clearly. ""TRACK PACKAGE"" sounds nothing like "PICK UP", it sounds nothing like "OTHER"... you know what is sounds like? It sounds like "TRACK PACKAGE" you stupid [expletive] dumbass [expletive]!! And have you ever had to pick up a Fed Ex package at their location near 170 here in St. Louis? First the [expletive] place is hidden, and once you find it you have to go through a [expletive] security checkpoint, and then go into an office... no, not a place with someone at the counter asking if you need help, but an actual room full of cubicals - you just have to flag someone down at their desk and they'll call the warehouse for you.

UPS is pretty good. They'll drop off most packages to my back door if I'm not home. FedEx refuses to do this for some reason. And DHL is the [expletive] worst, they once left a flat screen TV I ordered on my FRONT PORCH! Thankfully my neighbors are cool and held the TV at their house until I got home. How can you be so [expletive] stupid to leave a new TV on someone's door step?!
