Happens to me all the time.

I take it as confirmation that I'm not paranoid, they really are out to get me.

I'm still waiting . I've ordered quite a few "toys" over the past couple of months...four recently from this same company and they were all delivered before noon....I wanna go outside (to my rural property) and "play"....but NOOOO. I've killed a perfectly good afternoon, and it's gonna be raining soon....thanks for letting me rant

Being a Holiday weekend might be a factor.

All the shippers have a crystal ball.

There is a unbreakable rule. The more you want a shipment, the more delays it will have. If you don't give a hoot if it gets there this month or next it will arrive over night. I don't know how they do it.

If it is a super critical delivery that is the one the new driver will deliver to the wrong address on a Friday afternoon moments before that wrong address closes for business for the weekend. If it is life or death it is on the truck that breaks down or is in a wreck.

Mine always come the minute after I go to lunch. I can delay lunch fan hour and they don't show, until I go to lunch.

GH 85 called it.

If I really want or need something there is always some issue. I think we're all connected...

UPS are expensive but worth it.

UPS is like clock work when I send it to the office. Sending anything to the house is a crap shoot, same with Fed ex, LSO....

Last I ordered was an 02 sensor, placed early in the morning from amazon, same day delivery. It arrived at the house at 7:45pm. Wasn't going to work that day, but was going to replace the sensor. Didn't happen.

I know a fellow that at one point in his life pondered why many times when he was turning into his driveway getting home from work the UPS truck was just leaving and passing him going the other way.

Several months later in the delivery room he found out just exactly what brown had done for him.

Having packages delivered to work is aces. It completely erases one's concern that the package is gonna get lifted from your front porch.

Given that the mailroom or whatever is on the ball, of course... there are ways they can screw it up.

Our mailroom guys were doofuses, but they eventually promoted the dumbest one to the printshop and the other one retired. The replacement was excellent.

When the doofuses were in charge, they signed for and put my 5-man Eureka Drawtite from Cabela's in the hallway (out of sight of the mailroom door -- small mailroom in the basement) and somebody just picked it up on their way out of the side door to the building and made off with it. UPS insurance eventually covered it. In my calls to Cabela's to get it handled, I suggested that it probably didn't help that they put a full color pic of the item on the box.

So you have to check with your mailroom procedures.

Ours eventually went to not accepting packages that had to be signed for. UPS and FedEx drivers signed in at the security desk in the lobby and hopped on the elevators to deliver individually.

I always have all of my shipments sent to my office. Even my wife has her stuff sent here.

I ordered some tires when I was still running 14s on the El Camino. Only one supplier had the right size and they insisted they HAD to send the tires to the CC billing address. My CC company knows my work address and does not have an issue with it. I had to use PayPal to get them to ship the tires here. I simply did not want 4 tires sitting on my front porch at home. Now I run 15s and the tire selection is getting slim again.

Heck I had my Chevy 350 crate engine delivered to the office. It was a 1000 times easier than trying to get it shipped to my house. When I had the scissor lift delivered I did have it sent to my house. That sucker was too heavy and unwieldy to move without a lift gate and a fork lift.

i jinxed myself.

sitting at the office like a doofus waiting for a package to arrive. i could be at home binge watching HOUSE episodes.

Typical UPS, a late delivery.
