Gifts from India

October 22, 2008

When I arrived home yesterday, in my front yard, were three packages.  One was a very light-weight tripod for my video camera, one was a new skirt, and the third was a FedEx package addressed to “Henry, Cynthia”, but at my address.  I was tired last night and intended to call FedEx this morning to tell someone that this package had been mis-addressed.

However, this morning I looked at the return address on the FedEx envelope.  It was HP–the power adaptor for my sick scanner-copier-fax-printer!  That also means that “Henry, Cynthia” did not receive something he/she was expecting.  A little while ago I received an email from HP Customer Care notifying me that I would be receiving a package.  Perhaps I will receive a back up power adaptor.  Monday’s five hours on the phone was definitely worthwhile.

The good news, my scanner-printer-fax-copier is working again!

    At least they didn’t send it UPS…
    We have the WORST luck with them.

    Hooray for outsourcing! One big mess up at a time ;0P

  3. Darn, I thought maybe you had gotten a package from Harry Potter …
