What can Brown not do for you?
Jed | January 15, 2008We’ve gotten used to our postal service carrier messing up our mail and delivering other peoples’ mail to our mailbox. But apparently the UPS guy has been taking notes.
We recently got this annoying “info notice” from UPS (see image below):
![]()
Notice how many checkboxes the delivery guy checked for when he’d deliver the package. So I guess he expected us to wait around from 10:30am until sometime after 5pm. Nooo problem.
But that isn’t even the most frustrating part. For some reason, the UPS guy also decided to play some kind of weird mental joke on us by checking two mutually-exclusive delivery option boxes. The two boxes that are checked are:
- Signature required on delivery (in person)
- You may sign to have package(s) delivered
Reading the back of the notice, we learned that the first checkbox means that “the driver must receive a signature and hand the package(s) to a person” but the second checkbox means that the UPS guy is authorized to leave the package unattended at the delivery location. Um… what?
Luckily for us we have a neighbor who works from home somedays and was able to sign for the package the next day. But wait, how did our upstairs neighbor know the UPS guy was at our door, you ask? Well, because our UPS guy is very friendly and rings BOTH doorbells regardless of who the package is for. So nice of him.
Gotta love the service!
