Last thursday, 9/1 I overnighted a package that weighed 50 lbs. and is worth $5,000 from Austin to Houston.
On Tuesday, the dippy receptionist in Houston called and asked me why I had sent her a golf club.
Turns out, the mailing label came off my shipment, and someone at the shipper (ryhmes with Ted Mex) slapped it on a 3 lb. box containing a golf culb.
The golf club box arrived in houston with 2 labels, the one I printed, and one for it's real destination in Poe Dunk NY.
For some f-ing reason I cannont make Ted Mex understand I am not concerned about the club, but would really like for them to find my package, which, by the way, does not even need to be in Houston anymore, but in El Paso by 7:30 AM Saturday.
Got a call from Ted Mex this morning saying - Good News! we delivered your package!
Oh, sweet! So it was found and delivered to El Paso?
Uh, no, we don't know anything about an El Paso address, we delivered it to a Mr. Farquar Kriptonite in Poe Dunk, NY
No, No, No!
15 minutes later, they assure me someone will pick it back up, and overnight for Saturday delivery, 10:30 to El Paso.
Before I hang up, I ask for the tracking #.......
Right after I hang up, I look at my notes and relize, yes, you guessed it.....
It's the tracking # for the golf club!
Now it's going to El Paso!
Mr. Kriptonite will be SO pissed!
But what do I care!
Where is my $5000, 50 lb. package!
I have been trying for more than 2 hours now to get the right person back on the phone.
Everyone I have talked to at Ted Mex just can't understand this.
One thing that comes up with everyone I've talked to is.......But the golf club got delivered to Houston....
