Shipping Mistake

Desert Lily — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 21:50:33 GMT

I received a box from Amazon yesterday. A yellow sticker had been placed over the recipient's name & house number. I opened it and saw that it was an egg cooker. I double-checked my Amazon orders and never ordered it.

Earlier this week, UPS wrongly delivered my 2 packages to my next door neighbor, and an order from Amazon had been opened with part missing.

I couldn't figure out which neighbor the egg cooker might belong to with the label covered. Yesterday was garbage day, so I threw it out (I'm purging to prepare to sell & move)

This morning my brother texted me: "How did you like the egg cooker I sent you?"

Yikes. : 0

I do not understand why you did not contact UPS if your thought it belonged to someone else? You actually threw it out?😳😳😳

Oh nooooo! Sorry that I had to chuckle, but yikes.

The sticker over the addressee info is really bizarre, though.

@Desert Lily

So did you tell him?

I'm sorry but this had me laughing out loud.

@shaggygirl @Sage04 I told him it arrived yesterday and that I didn't know it was for me because of the yellow sticker. I also said it looked like a perfect egg cooker and thanked him.

-I didn't expand beyond that because I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

@Desert Lily yeeaaa that would have been my response also. I would also buy one later just in case he asked if you liked it.

You would have to remember which Brand it was lol.

@4kitties It was from Amazon, so it didn't come UPS. I figured whoever the correct recipient was could contact Amazon for credit or re-delivery.

@Sage04 I may have to research egg cookers on Amazon's site & order one. I don't know what brand it was because I only looked at it while it was in the box. He sent me a large smart TV for my birthday, stayed on the phone while I set it up, and had me text him a picture of it when I was through. At Christmas, he sent me a new laptop for my novel writing and then asked me how I liked the software he installed on it. I know he'll ask me about the egg cooker.

@Desert Lily he really looks out for you. I have a question, hope I'm right. Are you the Poster who said some time ago that her brother in law bought her something to eat recently. Something you did not expect?

Just realize I said brother in law instead of BROTHER.

@Sage04 No, that wasn't me. My brother lives on the east coast, and I live on the west coast. He, my other sibling, and I have become quite "close" again though since the onset of the pandemic. We Google Meet, text, email, almost daily. If one of us skips a day, we contact that person the very next day to be sure all is well. We keep each other going through the laughter & the tears, and I feel grateful for that.

Now, I just have to find a duplicate egg cooker! Lol

@Desert Lily , something good has come out of this. There's nothing better than keeping in touch with family.

Try and find the egg cooker that you think he would like and get that one. He will be asking about it soon lol
