I got busted last night. The Q held all of Homeworx Candles to ship all at once. Was in the kitchen and spotted the UPS truck headed our way, so I sprinted to the front door to head him off. Now, our dog is fairly hard of hearing, but oh no, she heard the truck stop out front and the barking started. Up from the basement comes my husband, who by the way, is usually deaf as a post also. He got there just in time to see 2 UPS men unload 11 boxes of candles! That made quite a stack I might add." What in the world is all of that?" he asks. I say candles. He could not believe it. I say, it is for the whole year and maybe into next. He still was shocked. I say," you hunt, you shoot guns, you buy guns and ammo." Not another word was said. Of course today I am unpacking my loot and so happy with everything I bought and house will never smell better.

I laughed so hard at your story. Enjoy your loot!

Oh no ...  I'm not surprised he was upset.  I hope he'll appreciate them more when they're in use - the scent, ambience, etc.

Your home will be fragrant for the next year!  Eleven boxes must have been quite the sight.  I'll bet hubby's guns and amo have you beat!

I've definitely been in your shoes before. My hubby is generally a pretty good sport...but sometimes those boxes are a bit embarrassing when they all show up at once. Woman Embarassed

 

@nomar, I would really love to know which of ALL (Ha!) those candles are your favorites. Thanks.

We have Ring and Blink cameras so my husband see’s all deliveries made by UPS. Didn’t know what I was getting into with these cameras.

You go girl!

 

I had a similar experience with UPS delivering all my orders at once.  My husband, who is wonderful and never denies me a thing, actually took a picture of the stacked boxes after I brought them in and emailed the picture to his female boss!  She knows how much I love and order from QVC.  Still, I was not happy he did that. That stunt cost him an extra box or two to arrive later in the week!
