Goddamnit I hate UPS and how utterly useless trying to arrange anything with them is. They have my power cord. Apparently they need an adult signature for the package. They only deliver on weekdays when GUESS WHAT. People who live here are at work. Going to their website gives me no options to hold for pick-up - only to return to sender. Calling them gives me automated messages telling me to go to their website. This is such BS I just want my new power cord arghhhhhh

I was going to do tags but now I am too angry to write. Perhaps I should sleep...

.......Why do they need a signature for a power cord? Is the power cord inside a gold box? Studded with diamonds? I've never had to sign for those kinds of packages before. IDK what to tell you.

idek /)_(\ I can't even sign the delivery notice and leave that. Nooo, they need someone actually here. I'll be here when they make the third delivery attempt, but my half of the house opens out on the back, so I'm not sure I can make it around the house in time to catch them. It also requires me to stay home for all of Wednesday.

You know what, now that I think about it, I realize I'm lying. I HAVE had this happen to me before with a book, and what happened was that because I had a job/school and couldn't be home, it went out to the distribution center and because I was moving as well I just couldn't deal with that shit and I ended up never getting the book. Paid for it, but never got it cause it wasn't worth the hassle. I had to order another one later that shipped without having to be signed for.

In short, FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU having to sign for shit. You'd think this a common enough experience for people they'd quit. It can't be more efficient for them to try to deliver it a bunch of times.

If this was like...something actually large and/or expensive I might understand it but it's a goddamn power cord.

Also I can't believe UPS doesn't even have phone lines open on the weekends. Seriously guys Canada Post keeps better hours than you, that's just sad

Welcome to my existence. I only order from people who ship USPS because... that's precisely what happens. Oh, and it's never a predictable time, either. One day it will be at 10 am, the next 3 pm, and see, I have a life, so that doesn't work for me. Or anyone else.

I actually had to go so far as to hitch a ride in someone's falling-apart-car (I thought we were goners every time we got in this thing) and drive out like 30 miles to get something from a distribution center in the middle of NOWHERE once.

Someone bitched at my work about how the USPS is going down the toilet. They better not. I'll kill something if I have to rely on corporate shippers for the rest of my life ;_;

So, um, yeah. I can relate? lol

UPS is so baaaaaad. FedEx is okay, though. But I wasn't given a shipping choice from this.

If they think USPS is going down the drain they should move to Canada. Canada Post is like USPS but with triple the prices and triple the shipping time.
