The other day, I ordered two tops that would work with a pair of wide legged trousers that I recently bought from Lane Bryant. The above item was not included in the first shipment. Today (Friday), I received a message with the following heading, saying that the above item was delivered:
Delivery Confirmation - but Wait, MARIAN, There's More!
Yet, when I go to the USPS tracking site, it says that the estimated delivery date is February 6th. And when I went downstairs to my post box, there was no sign of a postal delivery. So I logged onto the USPS tracker site and got the following information:
On its way
Estimated Delivery
Shipping Activity
It seems as if Lane Bryant may be reporting a delivery before it has occurred, or that USPS has sent a "delivered" notice before actually happens. It is also possible that USPS has delivered the package to the wrong address. In any case, I have encountered an anomalous communication, and I would love to know more about what has cause this to happen.
As you can see, the other top looks halfway decent on me. So I had high hopes for the the top in the picture. However, a package was left on my doorstep around 6 pm - and it contained the wrong item. To add insult to injury, I have to pay $5.95 to return the item - a problem caused by their screw up. At least, they made the return process relatively easy - if I can get to a post office while it is open.
