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…

Something that I got Monster was supposed to arrive yesterday, but was unexpectedly delayed with the last tracking scan being on the delivery truck… and now it says that it will be here by Monday. If I had known that there would be a delay like this while the thing was on the delivery truck of all places I might have, probably would have gotten it digital. It was meant to be one of the newest Pokemon games available since we’ve been playing them together since Monster was like… three, and since Bub was born. Sure, that will more than likely involve juggling space on the microSD cards, or games’ other internal storages, at some point, but it beats the alternative of shipping progressively getting slower on things (especially around the holidays).

If this doesn’t come, I will report it to FedEx as missing the first day that I am able to since it was supposed to come through FedEx, and then simply never get anything from Walmart again unless it’s in person or me doing something like picking up medications from Walmart… again, in person. What sucks is the fact that my insurance now allows most of our medications to be shipped to our house, which would be nice if it weren’t for the fact that FedEx would be the ones shipping and delivering them. Maybe I won’t take my chances…
