Last night I ordered my Christmas present, the Beatles “action” figures. The only shipping option was FedEx ground, because I couldn’t be sure of the delivery day and time I didn’t want it to go to my house because who knows if anyone would be there to meet the driver. Instead I chose to have them shipped to work where someone is always there to sign for a package. Today I got a confirmation email with my FedEx tracking number and an estimated delivery date of December 23rd. Cool, just in time for Christmas. Let’s see, the 23rd is next Thursday…uh-oh.
The plant is going to be closed next Thursday and Friday for the holiday. No one will be there to take delivery. Everyone will be at home, just like me.
