Maybe it'll work out again in a few years. I really feel like I've dodged a bullet though. As gutted as I am, I do see some silver linings.
I sent some of my things (folding table and chairs, plates, forks, knives, coffee mugs) via "express shipment", but never felt comfortable sending any of my clothes or shoes. I guess I knew in my gut to not send anything of real value to me. My shipment is on its way back to me, but it was nearly in California on Friday when I called to cancel it. I was due to report to Japan in two weeks. Damn.

When I lived in DC I forgot about the magic of Beltway traffic a couple of times. Once you're on there… You're fucked. Ugh.

I've never seen so many incompetent drivers in one place. Pretty much every morning, I pass by three accidents and witness three accidents almost happen within a one or two car distance from me.

At work we are basically forced to listen to the local radio station which has a daily feature called the 9@9, where members of the public (morons) select 9 songs to played by a particular artist, or with regards to a particular theme. Some sadistic bastard this morning chose none other than The Proclaimers, I have never heard so much Scottishness in one sitting before, it was like living inside a haggis

Traded for these in "barely worn" condition. A little upset this was present. (Not a user here). Is this a grave issue?
Apologies for the crotch shot. -
DPD were meant to deliver a parcel to my flat between 10:30 and 11:30 on Monday. I was in, and no-one rang the bell.
I checked tracking at 11:30, and it had been signed for at 10:31 by an "L S". Apparently the driver had thought it fit to leave it with a neighbour. So I checked all the neighbours in my block, and no-one has it.
I got in touch with DPD on Tuesday, and was told to speak to the company who sold me the goods. After doing so, I was informed that the driver would retrieve the parcel on Wednesday and deliver it to me.
Guess what, nothing turned up…
So I get in touch with the vendor again, and they say that the driver didn't have time to recover the package on Wednesday, and that they'd do it today.
Surprise, surprise. Still nothing was delivered.
Perhaps I should start taking suggestions in the Random Questions thread about what I'm going to do to DPD if it doesn't turn up soon...
