Buyer beware and why I dislike UPS!
So last Friday around noon I order some Pocky and volume 3 of Antique Bakery. I know I still have some Pocky in my work desk drawer, but it’s not Strawberry with bits and I REALLY wanted to try their flan kind. Anyways so I place this order thinking the company is like every other company I’ve ordered from since on their website they have jack info. about their shipping and how they handle orders. Booooooy was I WRONG! Now I’ve done a lot of ordering from east coast companies before so it’s not an odd thing for them to have certain cut off times, but the cut off time for this company is completely…well screwy for lack of a better word. It turns out I’d have to place an order at 6am PST in order for it to be shipped out that day. Now I figured it’s because you have the option of US mail so of course in order for them to get it in the US mail it would need an early cut off time.
Now I find all of this out on Monday. See I received a receipt on Friday and on Saturday I got a confirmation, but it turns out they only processed my order, but did not fully process my order. I guess it means they don’t stick everything in a box until the next business day. Which is ok, I guess. I mean I did buy Pocky so I would like it to be kept in a decently cool area so it won’t melt and become a nasty mess where I have to eat all 6 sticks at once or in pieces. What I don’t find “ok” is the fact that it wasn’t put on a truck to UPS until 6pm EST on Monday!! I’ve worked in many different places that used overnight shipping and not one place did someone have to drive to the overnight’s place for a drop off. Not only that, but all of the overnight places have their own cut off time which is usually 5pm! I mean if that’s the case I would have paid an extra 3 bucks and had them make the drop off at FedEx instead of crappy UPS! At least then I’d know how it was given to them is how it would show up. I’ve never ever had a problem with FedEx.
So now I’m looking at my little update page on UPS and I keep thinking to myself. I paid for 3 day delivery for what?! It was supposed to be shipped Monday, but didn’t actually leave NY until today, Tuesday, and I won’t get it until Thursday! Not only that, but I had to use UPS!! I don’t know about the rest of you, but they just suck. They are a company where you definitely get what you pay for. They are the cheapest for a good reason. They leave boxes out in the open, the boxes are usually NEVER in good condition when you get them and what’s with the black dirt on the boxes? Do they just have some worker who pushes it along the floor so when you pick it up you have black yucky stuff all over it? And why is it if you put “fragile” or “this side up” it’s always smashed in and always never that side up? Is it part of their job description to never read a label or to do the opposite of what the label says?
Well onto brighter more happy news! An old friend of my boyfriend stopped by on Sunday and it was a very nice visit. It’s always nice to see him, but boy I don’t remember him being so tall! I haven’t seen him in like 2 years. We used to see each other 1-2 times a year, but then I got a new job and when you can easily turn into a workaholic I didn’t want to take any time off. I’m trying to break myself out of that habit though since being a workaholic when you’re in a relationship is never good for the relationship or for your hobbies. :)
I’ve also decided that I would come extra early on Friday and do a Starbucks and read manga thing. They are normally empty early mornings and so I think having their blueberry coffee cake (one of the very few treats I like from there), Iced Venti _Mocha and Antique Bakery would be a nice relaxing thing for me since lately my lunches have been filled with errands. Speaking of snacks from Starbucks I still can’t believe people would buy a turkey sandwich for over 5 bucks from there. It’s a SMALL sandwich that probably cost like 2 bucks at most to make. I can’t imagine ever being so well off I’d think nothing of buying one of their sandwiches instead of making my own.
