Resupply Mission

So, my Actiontec Powerline networking adapter is still in California, the latest tracking scan puts in in Richmond, instead of San Fran. I've emailed Amazon thrice (that's three times for the youngsters), and even though there was no way this was going to arrive anywhere on time, they wouldn't do anything until three days had passed. As an aside, I'm kind of sick of computing on my 12" notebook, but I keep delaying moving my desktop downstairs to my cable modem.

Yesterday, the folks at Amazon finally agreed that it wasn't making it, and I've waited long enough. The postman came and went, and I emailed them to tell them that it obviously wasn't coming and pointed out that the USPS tracking put the goods on the wrong coast. I also asked of they could ship it a little faster. Finally they did agree to send out another one. They were also nice enough to upgrade me from "Super Saver Shipping" to "Standard Shipping."

This morn', I looked into the tracking again. The new box has left the same New Jersey facility. Unfortunately, it is still coming postal service; I've had better luck with UPS which can at least track packages more precisely. The new delivery estimate is for 7/2 to 7/7 which is not much faster than the "Super Saver Shipping." I'm just wondering what to do if both boxes show up somehow at this point?

We'll keep you posted how this all turns out.
