Ever had this happen to u...
Alright so i just got done ordering parts for a new computer off of newegg a couple days ago. In fact i think it was monday, anyways. I went to check the status of them today and it said they had left for delivery at 8:40 A.M. today. Since it was 12:30 then i got excited cause i believed i was getting the parts soon. I was mistaken however..lol. My mom came home for lunch around 12:50 and she brought down one of those door hanger things they leave on ur door if ur not there. I've been home the whole day so i couldn't have missed them. They had apparently tried to deliver it to the wrong house. Lol, they tried to deliver it to a house that we rent out thats right behind our house. I was like noooooo!! Kinda sucks, but i guess i'll have to wait till tommarow.
Anyone else ever have this happen to u? |

I've been lucky to have not had a single shipping problem yet, despite ordering quite a lot of stuff online. It always arrives fairly promptly, and if they leave the "we tried to deliver" note I just sign it so that they will drop it off without signature.

That's why I signed the agreement with the FEDEX delivery guy that they don't need my signature. Just leave the packages on the front porch or inside the garage door (if I remember to leave it unlocked!). You need to catch him/her one time to ask to sign the agreement.

I tried UPS. They left it with my landlord the first try. The landlord was like " yeah I walked up and ask him who it was for, and he said people in apt ### and then I said I was the landlord and gave it to me" didn't even need ID.
$*%&#$&(#* package was even opened even when my landlord denied it. Sneaky guy but it's alright in the end. |

Hey Jimmie, nice avatar. Lance's foundation, eh? Guess a 6 time winner is classier than a playoff loser?

I've always wondered why computer site like newegg, zipzoomfly have names like that. I just recieved a brand spanking new egg in the mail, oh ya that tiger came direclty at me. I plugged my computer in and zip, zoom, fly - it was gone! Sorry, I just can't seem to make sense of them.
