| FRIDAY 15TH; |
|
| on wednesday got notified that a package i ordered online had arrived [the deer lantern from a walmart third-party seller]. i went ahead and checked outside by the front door ...nothing. checked the community mailbox ...ok, yes. package. however NOT my package. wtf!!!? what i actually had in my hands belonged to someone else living on a street nearby. most likely, mr or mrs dumbass mailperson had inadvertently(?) swapped our packages. great. not exactly being sure what to do, i brought the package home.
|
|
| thereby ensued a series of backs and forths with both the seller + canada post. cuz you know i just looove wasting my time like that.
|
|
| after this occured for some strange reason i didn't check my cell phone at all 'til past the middle of the night. when i finally did, i had a new voicemail waiting. it was the woman i got my package mixed up with!! (my phone # was on my package label) *and the angels sang* texted her back saying we could meet up that friday.
|
|
| meanwhile the seller got in touch and although they originally replied that i had to first inquire with canada post myself, they finally offered to either A) refund me, or, B) send the goods again.
|
|
| when the sort-of-neighbour lady arrived at my doorstep, she admitted that meanwhile she'd had a little incident with my package: her new puppy had managed to reach it and chewed on it, resulting in parts breaking:

|
| but she was really cool about it, saying upfront that she could pay for it. i suggested that she might pay half: it was approx $32 so basically $15. she only had a $20 and she said it was fine. i think more than anything she was thrilled to retrieve her daughter's package! later that same evening, i guess she still felt bad cuz she came back and gave me another $10. good people still exist, wowzer.
|
|
| anyhow...! this evening i finally received the goods sent again:
|
|
 |
|
| holy sh*t...where do i even begin? 😂 so maybe it wasn't the dog's fault after all!! *facepalm* it's just a downright lameass product. honestly, having known what it looked like for real before the lady stopped by my place, i would've asked for a refund from the seller. but at that point it was too late.

|
| why, it's supposed to look like:

|
| STILL CANNOT GET OVER THE LANTERN. 😭😭😭🤥
