PvP presents a cautionary tale for us all

 

The storyline that’s been running in PvP for the past week (and on into this week) is kinda scary for those of us who are grown-up game collectors. You can see this terrifying tale here.

UPS and downs: a shipping love story

 

Okay. So I got this postcard in the mail Monday, November 3rd:

“On 10/24/03 we received a package for you”…”the package will be returned to the sender on 10/31/03″

…And what’s the postmark? Why, October 31st. Naturally.

I never had a chance to get this package.

Furthermore, upon calling UPS with the ticket number, I discover that this package originated from Disney Interactive. Meaning this is probably a courtesy review copy of Tron 2.0 or something. Or a cease-and-desist letter for all that Tron 1.0 stuff on my site. Who knows? At any rate, I doubt they’ll send it back – and I can’t even call them because there was no phone contact on the invoice.

My head’s gonna explode any second. It’s just gonna blow. As a friend of mine calmly stated, “Ah, don’t worry, it’s probably just a bunch of limited-edition Tron merchandise…”

So that’s it for me and UPS – I never plan to ship with them again, and I’ll go out of my way to discourage anyone from shipping to me that way. Because I want my packages to reach their intended destination and recipient, not just go on a little cross-country trip. Gah!
