Oh, that's even better than when UPS brought my crib. At least they tucked it in the front niche and dropped the mat on top of it. Not that I wasn't pissed anyway: Come on, at least knock before you run off! But that's just stupid.
IIRC that was as a rainstorm was rolling in, right?
If the driver had rung before running off, I would've been downstairs pretty quickly; probably faster than anyone would've thought to try for the box. But hey, I have access to the web, and the person who bought me the computer mailed me the tracking number when the vendor mailed it to him. What if I hadn't known it was coming today and I hadn't been home? Then even knocking wouldn't help. Only waiting for me to answer the door is reasonable, at least in the city.
Lombard St. has plenty of pedestrian traffic, not just cars.
Here's hoping it miraculously shows up on Tuesday. Argh.
Yeah, it was. I was pretty pissy about it. Since I happen to be here at least 90% of the time, it's not like I don't know whether or not they knock. (We don't have a doorbell, thankfully; it would drive me crazy.) I heard the thump, probably from the mat being dropped, maybe from the box. I certainly would have heard someone knocking. If their delivery drivers don't have time to knock and wait 30 seconds, the delivery companies really need to rethink the scheduling.
*crosses her fingers* I hope so. I wouldn't hold my breath for them to take responsibility for its loss if it doesn't.
