ingenious code ::

I have to confess. As a normal geek, I buy a lot of stuff on the internet. As a good consumer I will research the product, look for the best price and once I am happy with what I found, I’ll make the purchase.

Usually, when I shop online I would look for th cheapest shipping method, unless of course it extremely important that I have the thing I’m buying within’ a day. Most cases, if I ordered online, I could wait the 5-7 business days till I get the thing.The problem is that shipping cheap cost you more than you would expect.

For example, if I order something personal that I can carry on my way home I will order it to the office, but if its too big than I need it to be shipped to my home. Well, here is the problem. First, they will never tell you when the item will arrive to your home. Second, the messenger will come and of course and nobody will be there to greet him so he will leave a sticky note indicating the next time that will appear… I don’t how they manage their time but always they put 10:30-2PM which means that that day I have to work from home unless I want to drive 15 miles to get the item.

Now, you would think that if the messenger puts 10-2:30, he or she will actually be here… HA! you guessed wrong. So ,here I am still waiting for my package (btw it’s already 4:30). I wish that the shipping companies (UPS, DHL and Fedex) would invest a little bit in making the quality of delivery better because each coin has two sides, as a business owner I will not ship with a company that makes me salty at home all day long waiting for my package.
