You were SO close, UPS… (“Your move, UPS” part 3)

After claiming to have attempted delivery to our house twice — claims invalidated our front door camera — things were looking up. Yesterday, I got a call at 12:29 (as recorded on my phone’s call log) that I would receive my delivery from UPS that day. And miracle of miracles, the UPS truck showed up yesterday afternoon at 4:55!

I know the time the truck arrived, because the front door cam caught the truck and the porch cam captured me recording the truck’s arrival for posterity:

The driver parked the truck, got out of his seat, and stepped into the back. I could hear shuffling and rumbling as he searched for the delivery. This continued for three minutes.

And then he emerged from the back and said, “Sorry, sir, it’s not on this truck. It might be on another truck passing through later today.”

No other truck passed through later that day.

Hey, UPS — you’re not very good at this, are you?

In case you missed them, here’s part one and part two.

  • My UPS package (in B.C.) that went AWOL around last Tuesday finally showed up today with no warning, so maybe things will work out for you too this week. Best of luck.
