I just checked my mailbox, and FedEx left a slip in here 4 days ago telling me I needed to contact them and provide an address correction for a package that& #39;s missing my apartment unit number. Something I already handled online as soon as the tracker told me so, naturally
Here& #39;s the thing. How did they know which mailbox belonged to one Mr. Squishysnake living in this building on this street? I assume whichever FedEx worker was here that day may have been smart enough to go to the leasing office and ask them which mailbox belonged to my unit.
In which case, that really begs a question! If they found the apartment complex I live in, and collectively confirmed with the office which unit and mailbox are mine, in order to ensure I receive a piece of paper asking me to contact them so they know how to deliver something...
then WHY
DIDN& #39;T THEY JUST DELIVER MY PACKAGE
RIGHT THEN AND THERE
AT MY FRONT DOOR
OR IN A PARCEL BOX
LEAVING THE KEY FOR THE PARCEL BOX WITH MY MAIL IN MY MAILBOX THAT HAS MY MAIL THAT IS MINE
H E L L O o O o O o O ! ?

the cherry on the sundae is that I get to watch my package leave my state and start going back south for some reason, even after they got an address correction confirming that the package was in the right state
this fucking package was literally sitting within a half-hour drive of my home for 6 days, and now that they have my apartment number, it& #39;s gone halfway across the fucking country and even the tracker doesn& #39;t know where it& #39;s going
what the fuck is wrong with pokemon center and their shipments honestly, they& #39;re 1000% cursed
see the package is back in Missouri at this point which would make me think it& #39;s returning to sender, but now that I look at the tracker on FedEx, it says the destination is?? Arkansas???
are even the humans at the Pokemon Center so vehemently anti-apartment number that they& #39;ll literally just punch in an entirely different state after making you wait a week for a support ticket response?? I guess??? I don& #39;t know???? all I know is this Yamper is lost to the soil
can& #39;t have shit in Detroit, because it all gets siphoned by Bentonville
Pokemon Center is just the perfect fucking anti-consumer storm. The website& #39;s address form eats critical information, the support team is horribly slow and/or inaccurate at responding to tickets, and their shipping service is unwilling to wait, or provide multiple fixes to issues
Lest we forget the fact that when it had a "free shipping over $20" promo, several people I know were not allowed to place orders containing multiple products in order to actually break the $20 threshold, and in fact had to spend more to get everything shipped separately instead
You& #39;d think a multi-billion media conglomerate like Pokemon would run some better fucking businesses and that it wouldn& #39;t be so difficult to buy stuffed animals of some funny little video game dogs, but I guess God stubbed his toe the morning he had to choose a timeline for us
so on the one hand, apparently Bentonville is the billing address of the person who placed the order, which means instead of actually using the address provided in the support ticket, the staff just punched in what they saw on the card, as if nobody ever orders gifts for others
that& #39;d be fine and dandy since it means my friend can just Do The Fucking Job Themselves and personally ship the package to me when it reaches them... if Yamper didn& #39;t get stuck in Missouri for 3 days, with no update on the estimated delivery date still
are you fucking joking me. PLEASE tell me they changed my address to my friend& #39;s address and THEN appended the apartment number from my address onto my friend& #39;s address. that would just be the greatest fucking thing I& #39;ve ever heard
you& #39;ll forgive me for not updating this thread in 10 days, because it& #39;s been that uneventful. PokéCenter Support straight-up admitted to us that they& #39;re so bad at their job we might not even get a second address correction, and sure enough the tracker& #39;s been in stasis ever since
It took three support tickets, two separate shipments, and one entire month, and as if by some divine prank, some ill-conceived twist of karma, my Yamper plush finally arrives on this, the Day of Weed
