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!
