Manic Monday

Don’t smile, box! Don’t you understand how dangerous of a situation you were just in?!

I’ve been tracking this box for the past week and I was surprised to find out that UPS decided to leave it near my front door. This was odd because this was the first time they've done this to me. Normally they keep it because a signature or something is required. Normally I would reroute it to a UPS Store near my job after the first failed attempt, but I nearly had a heart attack when I was at work and noticed the status of “delivered” followed by the desination of “porch.”

Since I work near where I live I was able to quickly get back to my place before any poachers decided to swipe it. Doesn’t help that the news has been recently giving reports on people following trucks and then grabbing the packages off from the front porch after they checked that no one is home. Normally I wouldn’t sweat it, but this item is rather expensive (at least it is to me), so I was extra nervous about the whole situation.

I guess I was lucky that I was able to get it without incident, so all's well that ends well, but I really wish Amazon would show who the delivery service is so I can change the destination to a UPS Store whenever they are picked.
