Porch Pirates

I want a moron detector!

I had one of those. The set-up instructions were poorly written and difficult to follow.

5 stars-would not recommend.

Yes, wouldn’t mind one myself. Probably bury the needle pointing it at my direction.

But WTH? Zappo’s? (Zappo? Zappos?)

Normally, for me, that’s perfect. If I’m at home, either sleeping, or at my desk, or similar. So I know what’s what in electronic form/text message.

Not so for these mofos at Zappo: pair of new kicks I was kind of jazzed up to receive…marked “delivered” as of yesterday.

No.

True fact: I double dare you to find an e-mail account for customer service at Zappo. No. It’s all that text window crap.

WTH? I doubt it was a porch pirate. Although Amazon owns Zappo (Zappo’s? Zappos?) whatever it’s called…I don’t think they necessarily use Amazon delivery/last mile. Probably UPS or maybe USPS.

I just got shoes from Zappos a couple of days ago and it was UPS.

Just venture forth into traffic in my area. They will call themselves to your attention. They will also do this if you start working in a call center.

Yep, me too. Unless I don’t.

Every delivery service I have ever used sometimes takes pix and sometimes does not. Sometimes sends texts / emails, and sometimes does not. The reliability of that is so far short of 100% that although getting the message is pretty well proof positive they dumped your box on someone’s porch (not necessarily yours), the absence of a message tells you almost nothing.

Delivered 3 days ago to your door then stolen, delivered 3 days ago to somebody else’s door, and still in transit all look exactly the same: no message (yet).
