DELIVERY
Somehow UPS knew I wanted this LAST YEAR and shipped it before I placed the order!
Only problem is they delivered it to the wrong place. I live in ONTARIO NY, Not in WATERBURY or Watertown CT.

Figure this one out! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

oh man thats funny. so you dont have the package? Ive heard of lost in transit but lost in time is new to me!

I think it is a simple case of duplicate tracking number. Now and then tracking numbers are recycled and wierd cases appear. I have tracked DHL packages and seen them going through European cities like pinballs. They do get eventually delivered of course.

I had a package tracking indicate that it left California @ 2:15 and arrived in Honolulu @ 3:00 -- didn't know they flew Concords for cargo? But that's not the end -- it then showed up back in California 3 hours later, and then back in Honolulu 2 hours and 15 minutes after that??

... then it sat in Honolulu for FOUR DAYS before they actually decided to deliver it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Only good thing about Fed-Ex being such screw-ups is that when I file a complaint I usually get the shipping charged refunded (free shipping).

The package actually arrived (on time) 7/29/04
I dont know if this goes in the "Cheers" column or not.
