Like NewEgg.com will not under any circumstance ship to a PO Box. You have to do a work around, ship to the street address of the post office and put the box number into the address line. I've had times when I had to order something but was not going to be at home to accept it. I would much rather the shipment go to the post office where it would be safe until I can pick it up.
It was a package from NewEgg.com that got left leaning up against the gate post. Really great for a hard drive to be left in Florida weather WITH rain storms for three days while I tried to figure out where the hell they delivered it to. I think the driver got fired over that one. Ever since FedEx has been great about bringing stuff to the house.
Now I wish I could get them to ring the damn door bell. They don't have to wait until I get to the door, just ring the bell and let me know someone has been here.
Yesterday I thought I heard a truck, looked out the windows, didn't see any sign anyone had been here. This morning I had to change the cat litter and found two boxes in front of the door. They must have been delivered yesterday since the cardboard was slightly damp.
Those boxes held film from the 1930s that my Dad took as a kid. I didn't know they were being shipped back to me yet so I wasn't expecting a delivery at all. If the transferred film had gotten damaged, that work was irretrievable. That film has been at a company for a year being re-plasticized then scanned and saved to various media. If the media had gotten damaged from being left outside the process can not be repeated and the film would have been lost forever.
I spent too much time today watching the DNC but tomorrow I will call the shipping company and complain. I also will get a sign made for the doorbell asking delivery companies to ring the bell.
