I know, just one of the penalties for living in the boonies....
No local stores have much so do a lot of mail order so LOTS of things get messed up. Amazing how many times otherwise intelligent companies UPS things to a POB. Then UPS calls and says call their 800 number to get delivery arranged but doesn't give the tracking number and the 800 number people at UPS can't take any info without the tracking number the local UPS folks didn't leave...and the local UPS number is super confidential so you can't call them...have to wait until the local UPS folks get impatient and call again...sometimes they leave the tracking number or a return number.
Biggest irony came when buying a jersey from Major League Baseball. They are subsidized by the U.S. Government - a protected monopoly courtesy of the U.S. Government...and they flat refused to ship via the post office.
I often feel I've fallen down a hole in Kansas....
