Checking the mail


How many people do this. My new crispy silver arrow enter the country on Monday. Since then every couple hours I've been checking its status watching it ship across the country. Woke up this morning and first thing I did was check on my arriving g package. It was at the post office waiting delivery. Hour later it was out for delivery. I've been texting my wife all morning to see if it has arrived. Man the end of the day can't come any faster. :roll:

Yep, I do that all the time. Last time I saw the status as "left by the front door" I drove all the way home immediately to put the package inside the house and then drive back to work =]

Guilty!!

I've worn out the ups tracking website waiting on stuff....

One of my last packages I was waiting on was from Van via FedEx. I about went nuts cuz they NEVER updated the status from the time he dropped it off at the FedEx drop. I was going totally BONKERS :crazy: ... I had to call FedEx and get the status,... Went a little crazy for a minute, but it all worked out. Think I ended up getting it the next day.



I'm going to take a nap now

Haven't received a package in a while, but when it was a more regular occurence.... I would track it on the UPS site and enter the waypoints into Google maps.

Sort of like the effect that they used to use a lot in old movies and more recently in the Indiana Jones movies...

Yup the kite arrived this afternoon when my wife wasn't there to accept it.:lol: I expected added taxes and there was, so I would have had to wait till end of day anyway. Now I have to add a new nail in the kite gear closet right next to my 12 speed 2. Still waiting on two other packages to arrive sometime next week.:crazy:
