UPS Lets Harry Potter Fans Down

Jason Kottke didn’t get his copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on July 21st as promised by Amazon, and he’s not the only one. UPS claimed that a delivery attempt was made and no one was there to receive the parcel. The funny thing is, he was home all day. Amazon, however, was good enough to refund him even though the problem lies with UPS.

Early last week when I left my apartment to check my mail (which is three feet from my apartment door), a UPS notice fluttered to the ground. I picked it up and a delivery attempt had been made to drop a package at my apartment not even an hour earlier. I was, at most, 10 feet from the door the whole day. Sitting here at my dining room table, doing some work online. Why would a UPS driver get out of his truck, walk to my door, and stick a note on it without even attempting to ring the bell or knocking? It took longer for this person to write up the slip and stick it to my door than it would have for them to knock. I don’t get it.

Selling my iPod

I know I have not been posting much lately but I have been very busy and the hurricane has thrown quite a wrench into my life. I am not here to make excuses though.

I am selling my old 20gb iPod (the original 20gb, firewire only, Apple item M8738LL/A).

You can view it here.

It is missing the headphones and the remote as they wore out over time, but other than that only has some cosmetic scratches. I am not a heavy iPod user so this unit has a lot more love to give to its next owner and it will be shipped promptly.
