THE BROWN TRUCK COMPANY



Main course!
A year ago last Christmas, TLW (The Little Woman) gave me a present of lobster dinners, that we both share. I ordered from a catalog and had some left over credit for another occasion other than our anniversary, when we shared it last. So for Valentines Day, we decided to order another dinner and went on the Internet to order. The order was placed and we were told to expect the order to arrive the day before Valentines Day.

That was Wednesday the 13th, and sure enough, as Friday the 13th arrived on a Wednesday, it never arrived. We have no reservations for dinner for the 14th, no lobster in the freezer and no hope of being happy or fed.

We checked the website of UPS, the so-called carrier that has a tracking number, and it says the shipment is on the truck, having been checked in at 7:35 am on the 13th and to expect delivery by the end of the day.

All day long we checked for the whereabouts of the shipment, and nothing doing, same story, no delivery but it is on the truck, or so they say!

We go to bed that night and I get up this next morning and look outside to see if they left it on my doorstep, and no, they didn’t. I check with TLW, and she says she checked the website and now they claim they left it behind, it was never on the truck! Do you think these morons will be delivering my package first thing this morning?

The thing weights 17 pounds, is not small and they now admit that they forgot to put it on the truck! If you see it, please let me know, and to the company: UPS-UP yours! Sorry folks, just a little anger.
