The Bitching Thread

I ordered a wall mount for my flat screen TV, saw it was delivered and left at my front door on UPS online while I was at work this afternoon. For some reason I felt some shit was going to go wrong, and lo and behold, when I get home the package is not there. Checked with UPS, they said they delivered it. Unless they made a mistake, some asshole swiped my box from the front of my house and is now using my wall mount, probably trying to figure out how to mount his 19" tube TV with this kit. I hope the TV falls off the wall and fucking crushes him.

I'm mostly pissed that some asshole (probably a neighbor) stole my shit, and from now on when I order shit I'll have to go pick it up at the fucking UPS/Fedex pickup location.

What's the value of the wallmount?

Yeah, I'm always thinking that this would happen to me one day. For anything that I actually care about, or paid enough for, I always go "sign upon delivery".

They almost always deliver when I'm not there and make me go collect it from the depot, but I'd still reluctantly embrace this inconvenience for security.

I want to stress that the value of the part isn't what upsets me. I almost bought it locally for $150, then I found it online for $65 with free 2-day shipping so I was ecstatic. So for the thief to ruin all of that ecstasy, I would cut off his balls and make him eat them with a light man-juice sauce that I freshly sqoze myself.

I don't think we can specify "sign upon delivery" for all orders here without an additional charge. Plus, like you, they always deliver when I'm away so I'd end up having to go pick it up from the depot. I'm also considering installing a peephole camera to record the goings-on of my front door. I'd rather catch the thief than have to work around his sorry ass.

Back on Monday, August 23rd I mailed off a $260.000 payment to my credit card company in the form of a money order. This payment was received on Friday, August 27th the very same week, but I wasn't credited the the full $260.00. I was only credited $50.00.



I called them up this past Monday to see what the hell was going on with my account and they kept on insisting that the payment was only for $50.00. After going back and forth with the woman on the phone, she finally decided to put me on hold and send me to their accountant.

He gets on the line says the exact same thing, "the payment was in the amount of $50.00." I then proceed to tell him "No, it was for $260.00." He then decides to go and have a look at the actual money order. Well, what do you know.. it says $260.00.

He starts going on and on about how they use machines for the payments and that the machine only picked up $50.00. He then admits that it was their fault and that it will be taken care of soon. I then ask, "How soon is soon?" So, he tells me, "One or two billing cycles."

I had a minimum payment due on September 3rd, in the amount of $70.00. Since they had only credited me $50.00 of the $260.00 that I sent, I still owed $20.00. They ask me if I could make a payment in that amount and I say "No, I already sent you $260.00". I hang up pissed, because I'm going to be charged late fees and such when I have never been late making a payment before in my entire life.

On the night of September 2nd I see this on my account.



So, I'm thinking that everything had been taken care of, until I see this today...



Sigh, now my payment is on hold.

That's fucking balls. And one can only hope they get crushed....yeah, that would be sweet.
