Ok, so the title is a bit over-dramatic but I am seriously thinking that UPS is run by Satan and that he's out to get me.  Either that or Karma is lurking around the corner laughing it's ass off.

Here's my latest UPS story:

I order a new laptop on December 17th and although I pay for 2nd day delivery it's not picked up in time before the weekend and it was scheduled to arrive on Monday the 21st.  Ok, I'm not super impatient at this point although the anticipation is killing me. 

I live in a secure building and delivery drivers are supposed to enter the building like any other non-resident, by using the intercom system to call the person you want to see.  So I am watching the package move across the country via the UPS website I notice that it says that they attempted to deliver my package but that I was unavailable to sign, a 2nd delivery attempt will be made the following day.  Funny thing, I never heard the intercom or a knock on my door.  Five minutes later I hear a loud bang at my front door and go to see what it is.  A different package that I was expecting was ever so gently thrown down the hall and at my door.  Obviously a different UPS driver than the one who is carrying my laptop. 

At this point I am a little peeved at UPS.  I am wondering if they are too dumb to figure out how to use the intercom or too lazy.  Maybe it's written in the UPS manual somewhere that intercoms are evil. So I am sitting at home thinking about who to call and complain to knowing that it will not make a difference and my phone rings.  It's the concierge from the building down and across the street from me.  She says that UPS delivered my package to her building and that she would hold it for me.  YaY !  I say to myself.  UPS delivery by proxy.  They should make that an option when you send packages and just charge less.

I go to pick up my package from the nice lady who signed my name :o and notice that the box only weighs about 4 lbs.  My laptop weighs almost ten so I knew that there had been a mistake in the delivery.  Best Buy sent me a keyboard instead of my laptop. But that's a whole different story.  I still haven't received my laptop but am expecting it tomorrow by UPS Express.  I am sure I will be adding another complaint to this blog before the end of the day tomorrow. 

Stay tuned...
