[138 Scourge]

And, because it was addressed to my screen name, I cannot pick it up at the Post Office. (Of course, I could sign for it with no ID in front of the building, but whatever.)

But your address on your ID would match the address on the package, no? Does that count for anything?

Heh, can't swear to it, but I think I've gotten mail addressed to "Scourge" before. I think. If so, then that is awesome.

Tried that. The USPS was not having it. I tried to sign the tag...and they said they are not re-delivering.

How long did you wait? I thought they would re-deliver within a 3-day window.

OUCH!

The problem is that the PO around here is only open during hours that most people are not able to stop in, stand in a line, and sign for something. (If people were able to do that, odds are they would have been home to sign for the package to begin with.)

What time? Mine is open till 7 weekdays, and open Saturdays. Not that it matters to you, since you can't get it out of jail with your username.

That would have worked on delivery, but not on yellow-tag pickups because they can't prove it is actually going to the right person, and somehow that makes a difference. If he gets a lazy worker, it'll pan out in his favor, but if he gets a diligent one it's screwed.

I have sent you mail using your screen name.

Nope.

Even a few of the major PO buildings close at 5. Welcome to Boston, where Unions and mobsters hobble productivity in ways you would not even consider. (Getting drunk at Cheers is more important than anything save possible for hating the Yankees.)

-and and workers get in trouble for doing the sensible thing.

Not freakin' FEDEX!! Arrggghhhh!!!! Dom, I'm willing to bet it's probably your Botcon set giving you trouble? FP sent mine via Fedex and requires an IN PERSON signature. That's right, you read that correctly. IN PERSON!!! That means that it's not good enough that I sign a tag and leave it on the door. No! I actually have to *&^%$#+ be there to sign for it. Why would they even have this as an option!? Do they just want to hold people hostage or what? "If you want your package, be here at this time. Or else! Mwahahahaha!" Bastards. I actually would have to take a day off of work to sit there and waste my time waiting for some @#$%^&*(=! to show up with my damn package! And do you think they would try later in the evening? No! of course not! Because they expect everybody to work around THEIR schedule! I've been dealing with this headache for roughly a week now. And because they only try 3 times to deliver I'm going to have to call them to make other arrangements, whatever the @#$% that means!

-Cities will burn for this.

[Dominic]

Yup. I am *never* ordering from them again.

I probably will, but I'll make damn sure I'm there to receive it just to avoid the headache.
