Stop Being Carbon

So I ordered that 24 inch Samsung monitor a few weeks ago. Amazon said that they shipped it but never arrived here. I called the Austrian Post, which is the contractor for Amazon here in Austria. A lady told me that the monitor was received at my place last Thursday.

Well, the only problem is that I wasn’t at home last Thursday because I was on a business trip in Hamburg. After some calls to Amazon and the Post it was pretty clear to me that they gave the parcel to some stranger and I will most likely never see it again (they even told me that it’s not the job of the Austrian Post to look for parcels they did not deliver to the correct address because they simple refuse to admit that I did not get the monitor).

The whole thing is now at Amazon again, they’ve sent me a new monitor which is at the post office right now and which I will pick up tomorrow (just to make sure that it’s really there, I wanted to check the Tracking & Tracing status of the parcel and I got this nice looking error message at the right: “The creator of this fault did not specify a regionreason”).
