The tracking on the package that I’m talking about was mysteriously retroactively modified to “show” that it had arrived at my home the day that it was supposed to, marked as Delivered… when it wasn’t, because I checked everywhere that they could leave a package and it was not. So I’ve been in touch with FedEx over Twitter for the past few days, having reported the item as missing or stolen and causing FedEx to have to do a thorough trace on it. My hunch is that the item was stolen, because that honestly would not surprise me at this point (although it would sadden me, because that means that in order to get Monster what I wanted to get him before his birthday in early December, I would need to order the item again as I wait for a refund to process with whoever I’m going to have to go through to cause that… this is very likely what’s going to happen). This was something that should have arrived at the house well before Monster’s birthday, having meticulously been planned out… and it also helped that the release of the game that I wanted him to have was a few weeks before his birthday, making this even better. So I planned this out. They dropped the ball.

Like I’ve said, I don’t think I’m going to continue shopping at Wal-mart online if all they use is FedEx.

This may be an unavoidable, inescapable fact where I live. I don’t know for certain. But if it is, well, it is…
