I just thought I'd share this week's funniest occurance with you all.

On June 11 I ordered 2 pieces of fabric and some eyes from my favorite mohair supplier, Intercal Trading Group in Costa Mesa, CA (who else would it be?). Usually when I order, the box arrives within about 5 days.

This time, however, the package took quite a round about route. Fortunately, Intercal always sends me a tracking number as soon as the package is shipped, so I can tell exactly what is going on.

Seems the package left Intercal's facility on Tuesday, June 13; then on June 14 it was in Cerritos, CA; on June 16 it was in Commerce City, CO, so far so good, but this is where it gets tricky!

Instead of going on a truck to Colorado Springs on the 16th, it just sat in the UPS facility until June 19, then for some reason still unknown, they put it on a truck to Salina, KS! So then it went to Salina, KS; followed by a trip to Lenexa, Ks, then back to Salina, KS, then back again to Commerce City, CO; where it was finally put on a truck to Colorado Springs.

If FINALLY arrived yesterday.  The box looks like its been used as the ball in a soccer game (must be that world cup fever has taken over in the UPS facility), but the contents were fine.

I guess the bears I make from the two pieces of fabric will have to be names Guilligan and Mary Ann.....(it was just to be a 2 hour cruise?)

Well, I have a package saga too...not intercal...cause it is an order for wool rovings for felting, but look at this:

I never got a call or a mail notice from UPS...they just sent my package back to the shipper after it sat in the Santa Fe warehouse from the 13th to the 20th...and I have never had them do this kind of thing to my packages sent exactly the same way from the same place to me. I wrote UPS tonight about this & they promise a reply within 24 hours...I will let you know the outcome...once I know!. Seems like UPS is messing up big time these days!
Hugs of understanding,
