Sounds like anyone’s Monday to me…

Surprisingly, I’m not shocked at all. Heck, I’m not even surprised I’m not shocked.

The people responsible for that one are rich, and they can do no wrong.

Next up, ULTRAVIRAL.

I keep forgetting how nasty they look… I’m glad I don’t have to see these on European roads. Not yet, at least.

Many do it to ensure they get overhead space for their carry-on, a result of airlines charging for checked luggage.

I’ve stopped having carry-on beyond what can fit under a seat, because of this.

Ah, how I love good news on a Monday…

It’s not really a lot of hoops to jump through, and this seems to be standard practice by DHL, UPS, FedEx and others, over here.

I actually appreciate getting the options on delivery day. E.g. I usually get to choose what collection point they leave the package at (so I can pick a spot I pass by going home from work or whatever), or if I want them to come back the next day, or have it dropped off at my office (not always an option, kinda seems to depend on how stressful a day the driver is having). I certainly prefer it to risk having the package stolen, then reporting, waiting for a new delivery…

Of course, if the package is large, heavy or otherwise unwieldy it might be a pain not having it delivered directly to the door, but if I’m expecting such a thing I try to be home to accept delivery.

TIL I learned of porter buddy, thanks.

Yeah, same up here in Norway. If I’m not home they will offer to leave the package at a collection point, or drop it off at my place of work. As far as I know, they’re not allowed to just leave it at my door step and hope for the best.

Then, hopefully, PayPal can look forward to spending at the very least 2% of their worldwide revenue to pay fines.
