I am a horrible blogger and FedEx Disaster

So I was anxiously tracking my Saks package full of dresses (on sale) that I could possibly wear for Men's Cotillion this Saturday night, until I found a cheapo from Dillards that is darling.  However, I still wanted to take a gander at the Saks dresses, just to make sure none of them were a life-changer.

Hubs was working from home yesterday, and I excitedly called him asking if my package had arrived.  He tromps outside, and finds nothing.  I check the tracking again- delivered to front door over an hour ago!  I call FedEx and they have put a trace on the package (very CIA), but no results for another 24 hours.  I am a bit peeved because (a) I obviously rush delivered these dresses for a reason (b) now I have a lost package full of expensive dresses I need to return and (c) WHERE ARE MY DRESSES?  Will I never be able to trust tracking (or my neighbors) again?  Has this happened to y'all??

So, while getting my Dillards dress out of my trunk for alterations, I notice several packages.  Shit.  It's your happy prizes, which I completely spaced on sending.  I am soooo sorry! So will the below please re-email me your addresses, at sammaharper@gmail.com.   Thank you so much!

Kate

Then I also realized I never announced the winner of the John Besh cookbook giveaway.  According to Random Number Generator- it's bum, bum, da bum-

Number 7!  Which is Tami!

So e-mail your address as well please! Once again, I am so sorry for my slackerdom.

    where is your saks package?! how horrible!

    umm.... pretty sure you can get your shipping fees refunded when all this is over. j.crew did that for me once.

  2. I had a FedEx package that the tracking said was "delivered" on Saturday, only to have NO SIGN of it even by Monday (which was also unfortunately President's Day). I called FedEx who told me they passed it off to USPS (then why the h did I pay all of that extra money...) who then marked it as delivered, but guess what. Sometimes they will say it's delivered when it's not. So 2 days later I got a note in the mailbox saying my package was at a post office waiting to be picked up, and I ended up waiting in line for that darn package for an entire hour. Horrible shipping fail.

  3. Hope it turns up soon! I hate it when you pay the extra money for the rush order and that happens. Good luck!

  5. Um, yes that happened to me with my shoes for your wedding! I ordered some shoes from endless.com and they have free overnight shipping. Sounds great, so I purchase them thursday morning in plenty of time before the cutoff to be sent to my parents house in Knoxville on friday and to wear on saturday. Well, friday, i fly in and get home around 5:30...no shoes. THE UPS MAN HAD LEFT A DAMN NOTE SAYING THEY WOULD TRY AGAIN MONDAY!!! What?? Common sense would tell anyone that if you get something shipped overnight it is because you NEED IT! Ugh! So annoying. I call UPS and bless them out, noting that there was no signature even required so what the heck happened??? Anyway, long story short i had to go to Dillards the next morning and buy a pair to wear to your fabulous nuptials:) All worked out but really pissed me off!

  6. Christmas about 4 years ago a mother and her kids were following the delivery trucks through the nicer neighborhoods and stealing the packages after they were dropped on the porches. Scary! Now I have everything delivered to my dad's office where I know someone can sign for it.

    Hope the package turns up!
