Most of the time ordering products online works fine. In fact I've had nothing but positive experiences with every site I've ever ordered from...
Until now.
Come June I have some very special plans. These plans require some very special equipment. I ordered said equipment and sat back, happily waiting. I put the order in the back of my mind during Terry's visit, expecting it to be here later this week.
I checked the tracking information this morning, expecting the recent weather may have caused some delays. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the package had in fact been delivered...to Minnesota.
I am NOT a happy redhead. Seeing as they get a rather late start on the pacific coast, and I get an early one even for my own time zone, no one was in the office of the product company when I called. Instead I had to resort to email. I've copied the email below to share with you all. I hope you find the same humor in it I did.
Hello,
I just checked my Fedex tracking information for order number XXYZ.
I was very surprised to learn that according to the Fedex site, the package with tracking number ABCDEFGHI was given to and delivered by the post office in Cloquet, MN.
The trouble with this is that I do not live in Cloquet. I do not even live in Minnesota. I live in Denver, Colorado, a little over 1,000 miles away from Cloquet Minnesota. That is quite a drive for a postman.
I was even more surprised to discover that my package actually passed through Denver, about a mile from me before taking it's odd turn north.
Can someone please explain what exactly has happened here?
I can be reached by email, which is probably best, or by phone.
Thank you.

Home again
Hello everyone,
I'm back at home after our wonderful week and Terry is nestled back into his den in Tennessee. There are a lot of wonderful things to blog about and share and I hope to get to a few of them soon, but first I have to slog my way through the late snow we're finally getting to get to work, so I'll just hit some highlights.
1) The Denver Mint does not allow visitors to carry hairbrushes on the tour. Now really, what is a lady supposed to do without her primary weapon?
2) There are Elves in the Science Museum.
3) Despite the horrified protests of my co-workers, there really is nothing wrong with spending an unexpected day off browsing used book stores...especially when Denver's one and only fetish shop is conveniently located right next to them. Er...I didn't mention that part, though.
4) The wonderful thing about living in a large city is that you really can do the most audacious things right in the middle of downtown in broad daylight and none of the hundreds of people passing gives you a first glance, let alone a second.
5) Terry braved his first taste of the cane. Ouch! He also finally got to sample the quirt I posted about last year.
6) I acquired two new paddles with Terry's enthusiastic help, which stayed enthusiastic right up until I started using them.
7) On an average day you can spot 10-15 pictures of bunnies out around Denver.
Details to come.
