SHIPPING...UGH!! I'M SO UPSET!!! - Page 2

margie · 04-14-2006, 03:01 PM

My UPS man is nice! He rings the doorbell and runs back to his truck, but usually my front door is open and my car is in the driveway, so I don't have a problem with that. I have a close friend who is a driver for UPS, and my husband used to work there, so I do have a soft spot for them- they work so hard. I hope that your aunt's package turns up, Rebecca- what a shame for all that love and hard work to go to waste!

Oh no! I hope it turns up. Maybe if someone did take it, once they open it and see the beautiful hand-knit socks, they'll feel guilty and return it!

I sure hope so!! I haven't heard back from my uncle since I emailed him & told him that it was left @ his door Wed. I told him that he should search EVERYWHERE!! I do so hope they turn up

Oh Rebecca, that makes me so sad. All of that hard work and it is gone. I sure hope whoever took it realizes what a gift they took and sheepishly returns it in the middle of the night.

OH that's AWFUL!!! :(

I actually had a UPS guy SIGN MY NAME on the slip before he left it on the doorstep!

I had to go through a whole process with signature comparisons and everything!

Now, we keep a sign up that says if we dont answer, deliver next door where our neighbors are always home.

That's terrible!!! It amazes me that someone would do that. Maybe they will show up at a neighbors house...or maybe the socks won't fit the theif and he'll feel guilty and return them???

Thanks so very, very much for your support, everyone!! Ya'll are a great group and I so knew I could vent about this CATASTOPHE (well, perhaps not a catastrophe, rather knitting mishap

) to you & you would completely understand! I do so hope that my uncle emails me & says that he found the package..if not, my aunt will be getting a springy lace scarf instead of socks this time

rebecca · 04-15-2006, 06:59 PM

My uncle found the package!!!! YIPPEE!! OK, the deal is that they have someone that comes in to help around the house a couple of times a week since my aunt had the stroke & she put the box away & didn't tell anyone

& he just happened upon it in the closet :D I'm just very happy that it was found, she loves her socks & thanks for allowing my bit o' venting here
