Amazon.com and UPS Suck–And I Hope This Gets Googled Again and Again and Again . . .

The word from on high is that there will be no Christmas bonus. But they have enough money to spend on the UPS guy.

Sure, the UPS guy only got a loaf of bread, but at they got him something. Springing for chicken and then making us bring in potluck crap? Doesn’t seem like much of a Christmas bonus to me.

Honestly, while I expressed fury with my fellow coworkers, I’m not that angry. I’m really not. Like I told a friend, I’m just exhausted from being mad at the place. No, the majority of my fury is fueled at Amazon.com and UPS for being shitheads and not sending on my boyfriend’s present until last night. I ordered it on December 9 in order for him to get it a few days before he left for vacation. Guess what? It’s been rescheduled with a delivery date of tomorrow, December 23. He won’t be in town to receive it. Sure, it’ll be safe in an office, but I’m still majorly pissed, and Amazon heard from me last night. They told me it was shipping on December 15, but it wasn’t picked up from the Amazon warehouse until last night at 9:40ish. Why the hell did UPS wait six days to pick up a package? Why did Amazon schedule for it to go out on December 15 and then not wonder why the hell nothing happened for six days? I know I did, but I kept on hoping this was another one their system idiocies where you don’t get notified it’s been shipped and your intended recipient was like, “Oh, I got it yesterday!” I trust Amazon, damnit, so I wanted to believe. It is the Christmas season, after all. And I know they’re busy, but I ordered the present on December 9, for Pete’s sake. I want an explanation, I really would like a refund (so then I can get my boyfriend something else), and I would like a heartfelt apology. Something else I ordered from them on the same day arrived on December 14–why the mix up, Amazon?

You fucking fuckers.

I’m mad that it took them so long to get their shit together and send notification to UPS to pick it up. I’m mad that it didn’t get picked up until December 21 when it should’ve gone out six days earlier. I’m mad that my boyfriend won’t get his present before he leaves. This is incompetency of the highest level. Seriously? It makes me want to never order from Amazon again even though Barnes & Noble’s prices are that much higher.

That’s my rant. At least I have something at which to direct my anxiousness.
