Things that make a grown man cry. . .

[Reverend Blood]

So, I've been tracking my Dreadnok 7 pack on UPS in enough anticipation to almost cause an anxiety attack. This morning it says "Delivered." I was so excited I grabbed my cane and speed hobbled myself down to the office of my apartment complex.... No UPS package. I questioned the office staff to make sure they didn't misplace it... not them. I gimp back to my apartment and check my computer... UPS status, delivered... to my old address. ARRGH. I call UPS, nothing they can do. I call my old landlord, he doesn't even own the building anymore. I even drove to my old address, no one was there. Now, keep in mind, I admit, this is entirely my fault. I changed my billing address, but not my shipping on BBTS. But I email them, just with a glimmer of hope that they can do something I haven't been able to, or at the very least have heard something I haven't regarding the package. Nothing they can do. :( :( :(
So, now, I'm hoping with just a small spark of hope left that my former landlord still has some contact info on the person he sold the property to...

Sorry, I realize you probably don't care, but I needed to vent, and my wife said she didn't want to hear me crying over toys.

You are like Santa Claus!
No problem buy another set, but do not tell it at Your wife...

I had a similar problem once. My previous landlord had the property forclosed on. Thats why I moved in the first place. Luckily, the guy placed it inside the enclosed porch, and it was still there when I stopped by an hour later...

i feel your pain, Rev. used to happen to me all the time. especially when i was in the Navy and i used to travel a lot. i worried about receiving packages and i used to use either my mother's address or my sister's, but sometimes the packages get turned away coz i don't have my name on their lease and the landlord/lady will refuse it.

a Chief Petty Officer told me to get a private mailbox. not a P.O. Box, a private mailbox. like at UPS Store, Mailboxes, etc. or Postal Annex. it will have a real address, like for example - 12xxx Chapman ave #xyz, Anaheim, CA 91xxx.

some go as low as $9 a month. they all would give you 24 hr access to your box.
they will receive your pkgs, and hold it INDEFINITELY until you come and pick it up. they will have a little note in your box saying you have a pkg, see front desk clerk.

just a suggestion, Rev. works for me anyway.

I did this with my wave 3 Storm Shadow off ebay, forgot to change my addy when I moved. Thankfully I know the postmaster of my old house (I went to school with her son) and a quick call and she forwarded it to me, granted it was forwarded parcel post and took an extra week, but worth it in the end.
