How does this make sense? Instead of another delivery attempt today, it travel across the country over night.
The level of competence is mind blowing.

Re: Random Thoughts
They'll get it to you in a week or two at most, at least you know where it's at. Better than when it disappears into their black hole to reappear at random or to never be seen again.whoagorgeous wrote:So my hatred for FedEx has continued to rise.whoagorgeous wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 1:45 pm That feeling when FedEx comes but requires Signature but you're in the shower AND you know it's FedEx cause your dog is barking.

Re: Random Thoughts
That has to be a system error. Assuming the scan times are local, your package was unloaded from the truck, flown across the country, and scanned at the destination in about 4 hours. CA to MA is about a 5 hour flight. If it's not a system error, at least they're very efficient in their incompetency.whoagorgeous wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 12:07 pm

I've called. She (a rep) told me they developed a scan system to detect covid19 and my package had to be rescan.Sussa wrote:That has to be a system error.

I didn't know how to react or respond. And no, I'm not making this up.
Obviously, she had no idea what's she's talking about.
But it seem to indeed have been a scanning error because it just arrived!

How about that, on time delivery and Covid-19 free. Doesn't get better than that.whoagorgeous wrote:I've called.

Very encouraged to hear that they developed a system to scan for Covid-19, now they just have to work on a system to scan packages. [emoji3]

My 3yo daughter can't remember what nostrils are called. This morning she called them "noselets" and now she's calling them "noggles" (like goggles)

Re: Random Thoughts
She also can't remember "Han Solo" so whenever she plays Star Wars with her big sister she runs over and asks "What's Chewbacca's friend's name?". This happens about every 15mins while they're playing.

Re: Random Thoughts
Perhaps I waited WAY TOO LONG. But, I'm looking at upgrading my phone very soon. I have an s7 that can barely sustain a charge after 4 years.
Anyhow, I'm debating the s10e (which I found out would be $349 w/ trade in), s10 ($499) or the Google Pixel 4a ($399 and potentially a promo). Not interested in the s20 (no headphone jack), s10 lite (what a joke, horrible at that price), Sony Xperia 10 2 (kind of a meh offering), or the new iPhone SE 2020 (looks really nice but not for me).
Really wishing Google would up and release the 4a already. I might go w/ the s10e out of desperation at this point.

Re: Random Thoughts
Also, I bought my girlfriend a lovely necklace for ~$10.
It has the moon enclosed by a sun. I'm dark-haired and her a blue eyed blonde, furthermore my name in Turkish literally translates as the Moon King in English.
So, I plan on telling her she's my sunshine and seeing her response tomorrow!
I don't know about you guys but I am excited!!!

Mrs.MoT has the S10, and likes it a bunch. Her previous phone was an S7.
I have an S20 Ultra, but I kind of have a weakness for gadgets and tech and generally have to have the "next big thing". It's an issue I'm reluctantly working on.

(My Hebrew name means "gift from God", but I'm not sure Mrs.MoT agrees. )

Re: Random Thoughts
Really glad it is Friday.
Not just for the weekend, but mostly for two days where we're less likely to read about C Ward site issues.
