#343901 - 31/03/2011 13:16 My package was lost... In Time.
hybrid8 carpal tunnel Registered: 12/11/2001 Posts: 7738 Loc: Toronto, CANADA	An order I placed online was just shipped UPS and I've just been informed that it's been lost in time. UPS may be using some new delivery system and instead of just throwing the package onto a truck this afternoon, they've sent it back to the year 2009 where it's already been delivered. Quote: Conroe, TX, United States 11/02/2009 11:17 A.M. Delivered United States 03/31/2011 10:54 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS I'm not sure who signed for it, but I bet they were confused as hell to see an iPad case. I hope I didn't cause a paradox. _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software

I think this is how the leakers got the images of the cases for the original iPad months before the original iPad was announced. It was my order from the future. _________________________ Bruno Twisted Melon : Fine Mac OS Software

Not nearly as spooky, but last week I entered a UPS tracking number to discover that my Arduino Duo was in limbo due to: Train Derailment (Spokane) _________________________ Jim 'Tis the exceptional fellow who lies awake at night thinking of his successes.

I've had about four or five of my last shipments show the same thing. The last one wasn't updated until after I received the delivery.

That's a surprise to me. Maybe the train fell on the UPS truck?

That's a surprise to me. The Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks (that go north and then east over the Cascades) go right by my marina and I pretty regularly see UPS trailers on duplex "piggyback" intermodal cars. Way cheaper than tractor-trailer hauling for long hauls. _________________________ Jim 'Tis the exceptional fellow who lies awake at night thinking of his successes.

Phoenix42 veteran Registered: 21/03/2002 Posts: 1424 Loc: MA but Irish born	While not lost in time, my package doesn't appeared to have been tracked at all: Quote: Chelmsford, MA, United States 09/30/2011 1:01 A.M. Out For Delivery United States 09/28/2011 1:05 A.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS Normally this would not raise an eyebrow, but it is one of the $79 Kindles, and Amazon pre-registers the Kindles to your account, so I wonder if Amazon is hiding the locations where they can do this. My nearest Amazon shipping depot is less that 30 minutes north of Chelmsford, MA in tax free Nashua NH.

DWallach carpal tunnel Registered: 30/04/2000 Posts: 3810	Amazon pre-registers Kindles? Hmm. I just ordered one of the new Kindle Touch things for my father. I checked the "it's a gift" box. I hope it's not pre-attached to my own account. (I tend to read science fiction. My dad tends to read spy novels. Little benefit in us sharing accounts.)
