Nov 26 - Ordered $55 worth of bore brushes from Midway, using POB address. Free shipping - now $100 order for free shipping, up from $50.
Nov 28 - order filled and given to UPS which turned it over to their "mail innovations" in MO Dec 5th.
Disappeared from their system Dec 7
Jan 5- reported to Midway it was "lost", and reordered. 2 items were now out of stock and I cancelled those. Midway refunded original order, different CC for 2nd reduced order. Put street address of PO (where my box is) , and "Unit XXX (my box number)-but it's the only PO in Soldotna....
Jan 7 - Received notice from Midway my new order has been shipped, (free, as per original, tho the order no longer came to $50 - can't fault that!) and ......picked up the original order at the PO!!!
Nasty gram in computer messages from UPS mail innovations that my address (1st order) was "incomplete", that they were "unable to deliver" and I'd better fix it. How is a PO Box # in the only PO in town "Incomplete" - and they managed to deliver it tho the USPS here had a couple "new-hires", that were sending my stuff back a couple years ago because it didn't have the PO's street address on it.... I think they got a transfer to UPS in MO.....
Incompetent jerkoffs.... How many resumes does UPS/USPS comb through to hire these people?
Back in the 70's I was at Bartlett Hall, UAF (Fairbanks). My cousin sent me a letter To "Bartlett Hall ,University of Alaska, Sitka and I got it! Brains have gone by the wayside, it appears.
End of rant - well, almost - 2nd order delivery date is supposedly Jan 31.... which I will have to deal with (return/refund, re-pay for 1st order...)then, if it gets here by then. Going to NZ for 2 weeks on Feb 2nd, tho....
This retirement stuff is complicated!
