All they will be able to give is the information already stated in the OP. The machines that UPS gives you to sign your name on are horrible to make any type of legible signature on. They will ask you to spell your last name, seems that this person said “Redus” was their last name…
Tracking the package online will give the same result. She could call 1-800-742-5877 (PICK-UPS) and they can forward a note to the neighborhood station that the driver works for. They could, potentially, find out who signed for the package. All very time consuming, I’d consider having the company that shipped it go through all of that trouble, but I doubt it’s really worth all the work, depending on the price she paid for the wipes.
First, I can’t believe I’m the only one who sees this, but I believe the signature of REDUS actually stands for Red U.S. I couldn’t guess as to why someone would wish to flaunt their politics in such an odd manner, but at least that’s how it looks to me. Any known Republicans in your building, Inkleberry?
Second, I find it hard not to fault the UPS driver for failing to post a notice on the OP’s door, indicating exactly where his package was left. I have never, ever had a package left with a neighbor (either at home or at the office), without them leaving a post-it-style note on my door explaining precisely which neighbor, in which apartment or suite number, was holding my package. Perhaps they did leave a notice and the thief stole that, too, but if it were me, I would definitely complain to UPS and file a claim with them if they can’t identify where it was left.
Can you track down the driver and ask for a description of the person who signed it? Based on this description, and other suspictions you have, you could probably be pretty certain as to who the cuprit is.
I know it’s a stab in the dark; The driver probably won’t remember. But hey, you never know!
If you did know, just think of the things you could do to get back at him/her! Things that involve dirty diapers!
I have. I didn’t even know I had a package until one of my neighbors knocked on my door and asked “Are you John?”. Since that’s my first name and I go by my middle, I was a bit taken aback but when I said “Uhhh, yeah…”, she handed me my surge protector that I’d ordered for my computer.
You know, if I were some drugged-up elevator-pissing scumbag (I never piss in elevators) and I stole your package and it turned out to be baby wipes, I think I’d just take them and leave them outside your door in the middle of the night.
This is the sort of amateur thinking that separates the elevator-pissers from the non-elevator-pissers. A true elevator-pisser might leave the baby wipes outside inkleberry’s door in the middle of the night, but only after first pissing all over them. It’s just common sense.
I think we need to back up a bit here.
I’m still interested in the wipes by mail.
Did you find them at some surplus place at like, $.50 or did you do it for convenience sake? Or are you using some super Hippie organic brand (hemp wipes?)
A mondo bag of wipes runs about 7-8 bucks at Target.
I can only imagine that shipping would double that price.
Before I forget, inkleberry, when you have an infant on antibiotics, he’s at an increased risk of thrush (yeast infection of the mouth). Be on the lookout for white pasty stuff on the inside of his cheeks/gums/tongue.
If amazon is running a deal and you get free super saver shipping, you can save yourself the trouble of fighting the maurading crowds at your mega store.
The other options are the small paper towels and boggled momspit or cloth wipes and boggled momspit.
I’m not sure. The first time it happened, we assumed it was one of the myriad of small children who lived in our building. Accidents happen when you are little.
But then more urine appeared. On the walls. At man height. We concluded this was no accident.
Our lazy landlord refuses to redo the carpet on the walls of the elevator. Sometimes he sprays scented crap in there, but it doesn’t help.
