This just in from the front, the latest in the War Against Chronic Incompetence, also known as "We're UPS, and we, uh...what do we do?".

One parcel was set for delivery, but seeing the driver for this area seems to have trouble getting out of the brown truck UPS was directed to re-route the parcel. Well, the order was amended, but there's a catch. What could be the catch, you ask? I mean, don't send it "here", send it "there". Easy, right? Nope.

The boy-genius at UPS went in and modified the address for re-route. He put in the original address! So, instead of coming here, it's coming here. What's that sound? It's the jingle jangle of so many Phi Beta Kappa keys at UPS central.

TikiFarm: I got a phone message from another UPS center today. This was regarding the Shag mugs. The UPS employee asked if I was having trouble with the delivery. Upon contacting this UPS star her first question was, drun roll, "did you get the package?". Uh, you were contacted because no package ever arrived, and UPS cannot tell me where it went...your first inquiry is did I get it?

Looks like the Shag mugs are history, they just became a wee bit rarer I suppose.

Munktiki: I directed UPS to deliver that to another address. One try, one delivery, Oh My Lawd. Gee, do you think there is a problem with a particular driver? That is the good news, the bad news is one mug is cracked cracked cracked. Considering the condition of the box I doubt it left Munktiki in that shape.

UPS, brown....number 2.
