Delivery mishaps

-

 So I felt very, very lazy Saturday.  The weather was bitterly cold and snowy and I really didn’t want to  go out.  I live about a mile or so from the supermarket but I decided to spend the extra money to have my groceries delivered.  Opened up the app, placed my order.  A few hours later a truck pulled up, the driver handed me several bags …

I emptied the bags quickly — Shadow likes to “investigate “ grocery purchases — and immediately realized I was missing two items.  I had ordered two bags of frozen vegetables.  The vegetables were the only frozen foods I ordered. I checked my receipt …yes, I paid for those vegetables.

So I opened up the app and notified the store about the missing items.  Four days later I’m still waiting to hear from the store.  

I was doing a little on line shopping Sunday.  I needed Command hooks.  I ordered some from an online store.  Shipping was free, but I paid an extra $3 to have the product delivered to me Monday morning.

Monday morning I got an email from the store.  My item would ship, but it would be late, so they were refunding the $3 I paid for shipping,

Then the product was delivered Monday morning.

And then the product was delivered Tuesday morning.

Customer service told me they did not have a record of the double shipment and that I should just keep the second set of hooks.

    Such things happen. I hope they straighten our your frozen vegetables. At least you got the hooks even if the order got doubled.

    Is the Universe trying to send you some kind of strange message with these two events? Doesn't surprise me that you were told to keep the second set of hooks - it probably would have cost them more to have you return it and them having to restock them.

    This happened to me once with the Readers Digest. They told me just keep the second set of books.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
