 Set it up to have UPS hold any packages meant to be delivered until the 7th since I wasn't going to be home.  Found out yesterday that they were still trying to deliver.  Made sure the apt. manager wasn't refusing UPS packages and learned they hadn't even tried to leave them there.  Left note saying to leave it there.  Went back today to look for something for someone, and saw the "final delivery attempt" notice, saying I had to pick it up in person.

Problem A:  IT'S THIRTY MINUTES ONE WAY.

Problem B:  The pickup station is only open 4-7.  Most days, I go to work at 7, meaning I wouldn't get to go get it until Wednesday.

Solution:  call UPS to schedule a redelivery. Except that UPS has an automated system that wants you to talk to it, instead of letting you push buttons.  About the 10th time it asked me to repeat myself, I resulted to a keypad smash, which got me to a human being.  Who then asked for my name and phone number about 5 times.  And doesn't seem to be at all sure that they'll redeliver it on Tuesday. 

ETA:  Retagging your LJ is a pain.  Just FYI.

Oh, heavens, the automated phone sucks bigtime. For next time, if you hit "0" as soon as possible, you generally get a real person faster. Not that that is always great, but...
