So I ordered some Christmas gifts. They went out for delivery today from my local post office. It says it was delivered in a city 45 miles away.  :think: Uh..... WTF!

According to USPS I have.  ::)

I just don't understand how they deliver it to a city 45 miles away.  :think: The delivery address is mine for sure. How did it get on the truck to go to that city and even if it did where the hell did they deliver it to?

A little update. So I checked the tracking again this morning to make sure it still said it was delivered in the other city (before calling) which it was. I then checked ONTRAC which is used by USPS sometimes to get the package through the last leg and be delivered by ONTRAC. Basically how UPS uses the USPS for deliveries. ONTRAC's tracking was different then USPS's tracking in what cities it traveled through, but I just assume its because ONTRAC got the package quite far from the delivery point and USPS's tracking has no way of knowing where it goes once it is out of their hands until it is delivered. Either way they both said it was delivered in the same place (wrong city). I dug a little deeper and ONTRAC's tracking said it was delivered to the back patio.  :think: I figure I would look on mine for giggles and what do you know. Theirs my package.  :facepalm: It had been sitting out back in the mud and in the cold all night. I had some electronics in their so I hope the cold/moisture did not damage them. My back patio is locked as well so the package had to be dropped at least 5 feet over the fence.  :rant: I'm happy I have the package and the gifts for people, but I am unhappy that they could possibly be damaged from the drop or moisture exposure and I will not know until Christmas time when it will most likely be to late to return them. I just have no idea why it said it was delivered in the other city.  :think:

The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

I kind of feel like a jackass for not looking back their, but they have never done that before. When Fedex does it (for the neighbors) they leave a note on the door. I just assumed no one would leave it back their as my gate is locked and they would have to drop my package at least 5 feet to get it back their.

I think we should all just label our packages "Yes, please feel free to punt my stuff, you smurfing @$$hat!"

 :D

Good idea. Maybe I will do that next time I send a package.  :D

Either they will completely destroy it or have a laugh and treat it nicely.  :think:
