So, I made it my goal this year to get
theblackrook something this year due to me not being able to buy him squat the last two previous Christmases. I had it all planned out and ordered in November...but things went amiss.
The company I ordered from sent out the package, not giving me a tracking number on their site, and the ups peeps attempted to deliver it, leaving one of those notices. Package could not be delivered with a signature.During that time, family was asking a shit ton from us so we were constantly out the house.Second attempt failed. For the 3rd attempt, I left a note on the door for the delivery guy to ring the doorbell as I was staying put for the day. He didn't and package was sent back to sender.
Feeling pissed that day, I left a message to the people I ordered from and that the package was mailed back to the manufacture.
Hold up! Now I learn that the product that I ordered isn't made by them but by a partner company.
Okay...so by that time I'm pretty pissed but trying to calm myself down and hopes that the $300 I spent doesn't go down the drain.
Talked to the representative some more and gave a new shipping address to my father-in-law's place. I ask for tracking but they can't give it to me yet since the package hasn't been processed again.
Fair enough.
Address change goes in with delivery date within a week (Dec 12). I call during the week to see if there's any sign of the package at my dad's place. None yet. And no tracking is given.
One December 22nd, I've lost patience and call back to see where my shit is. Lady says they have no clue and need to talk to the person in charge of shipment. She's not there and would be calling back on December 23rd. By this time, I'm really upset and have to tell Rook everything about his gift and my failure to surprise him this Christmas. To brighten things up, he gives me my Christmas gift early ( A Smash Bros 3ds with 5 games installed and Phoenix wright duel destinies.) I am happy yet at the same time sad...things didn't go the way I wanted and I feel like a failure.
So today I get the call...UPS delivered the package and left it on the porch apparently...and someone took it.(The area is shit)
The company is now in the process of talking to UPS about what the fuck went on and why no signature was required like last time.
It'll take up to 7 days to figure out what the fuck happened and at this point I'm ready to just talk to paypal and try to get my money back. I just don't want to deal with this shit anymore.
I've been understanding especially with the first failed delivery. But the no tracking number thing not being on the site really fucked me up.
So yeah...I will try to cheer up and get some work done...this isn't worth the stress but at the same time...that's a fucking lot of money to lose for a box of nothing.

Hopefully you'll be able to get yer money back
Hang in there pandy
This is why, from now until whenever it burns down, I use the United States Postal Service. So far, I have NEVER had a problem with them. My buddy stopped using UPS to ship and receive things after nearly every delivery he got was either severely damaged, lost, and my personal favorite, when he went to the door to get his package one day, the UPS delivery guy was already back in the truck driving away.
That happened three more times. On the last time he literally ran to the door, saw the guy getting in his truck, yelled "HEY!" and waved. The guy looked at him, then drove off.
Hell, check these videos. FedEX is no better.

I would have preffered it so much more. I believe they would have at least held onto it at the office instead of sending it directly back. I didn't really have a choice in the matter which really sucked...if they gave me the tracking on their fucking website, I would have been totally fine, but here I am.
I wish you both Merry Christmas, even with that mess
I hope you get your money returned.
The leather bound item inside was mostly destroyed, but there was no refund from the company nor could we get the post office to be held responsible.
