Another Shipping Debacle

I 'think' I'm finally through the latest Shipping Nightmare....

I won't breathe any sighs of relief until the packages actually reach

their destination though.

Losing my computer as long as I did...during a 50% Off Sale....ended up

biting me in the 'behind'.

Jaime did my correspondence and listings for me...but I really couldn't

put all the shipping off on her too...and because I did think my computer

would be fixed much sooner than it was...I figured everything would be fine.

Boy..was I wrong!

I was so backed up on shipping that I thought it would be

easier to ship packages directly from the Post Office.

Just print some address labels

take the packages to the Post Office

pay for them and send them on their way.

I even enlisted the help of a couple of my kids

to haul the packages for me.

Well....I sent a batch with my son, on a day that

he could run them by the post office on his way to school.

On his way...he popped into the University Bookstore

and discovered they had a little Post 'office' in the Store...

 he decided to ship the packages from there and save some time.

Well...long story short...I started getting convos from folks wondering

where their packages were.

I discovered that all of these packages had been shipped from the

University Bookstore.

Patrick went by to find out what was going on..

they said they mailed them out...

several days later he gets a phone call..

The packages had been placed back inside the bag he carried

them there in...and were 'found' under the counter...

"did he still want them mailed out?"

What??!!!!

Oh my gosh...are you kidding me???

So...the packages are finally enroute...at least I HOPE they are...

and Lesson Learned...

I will no longer ship from the Bookstore...

and I probably won't ask anyone else to run my packages...

if they need to go to the post office...

(i.e.---International First Class packages)...

I'll take them myself...on Saturdays.

Everything else is going to get shipped via My House

through Postal Pick UP...

I don't think my Carrier 'appreciates' my scheduled pick ups...

which was one of the reasons I opted to send them from the Post Office...

but..

oh well...

I have to do what is best for my business !
