Well that was dramatic

[glw]

I ordered a smartphone and had it shipped via FedEx. They tried to deliver it yesterday, but it needed a signature, so they left the slip for me to sign on the door.

I got a call today from the local police station, demanding to know why I was shipping them electronic devices and wtf was I doing and did I know that was a felony, etc. etc.

After being transferred around a million times I finally got both FedEx and the police station on the line at the same time to conclude that they had delivered my phone to the station for some unknown reason (it's on the same road but nowhere near the same house number). Some random person at the station had signed for the package, even though it had the wrong address on it and clearly I do not work there.

Soooo, maybe sometime I'll finally get this phone? Blurgh.

Didn't they see the address was wrong before they called to give you attitude? Morons.

Please tell me that you just have to go pick it up at the police station.

They should deliver it with lights and sirens so it gets to her faster.

Holy shit! All that for a damn phone!

Sheesh, you'd think there was a bong in the package.

I hope they don't give you any trouble when you try to get it back, that's ridiculous!

FedEx is sending the truck driver back to the police station to pick it up, and hopefully they'll deliver it to my house after that. I may not get it till tomorrow, though.

I know! Who signs for a package with the wrong address and wrong name on it?
