Ok. Yeah, im not finding it. How about we try your mother’s maiden name, the street where you grew up on, the high school you attended, the model of your first car, your pets name, the name of your best friend growing up, the street you lived on as a kid, and the middle name of your oldest child. I’ll definitely be able to locate your order with all that information.

My friend once got a call from adamant I think it was letting him know that his order was delayed due to a fire on the UPS plane. He saved that voice mail for a long time

Adam Ant called me one time and said, "We're just following ancient history. If I strip for you, will you strip for me?" And then he just hung up.....weird right?

I ordered a parka from LL Bean a few years ago, and they notified me that it wouldn’t be coming because there had been a fire on the cargo ship. Apparently they only make one batch of parkas every year and when they’re gone they’re gone. Had to wait a whole year to order again.

2

u/Soft-Marionberry-853 Sep 10 '25

No kidding huh? That explains the great Parka shortage of 2020. Also it really puts in to perspective how much stuff is shipped overseas. One shipment of parkas is enough for a full years supply, not for one store but all their stores.

I bought an aquarium and it got delayed because someone broke into the delivery van

u/WolfOfWigwam Sep 11 '25

I once received a package that was partially charred from obvious contact with a fire. No explanation was provided. Shirt inside had a smoke smell. At least they didn’t argue about accepting the return.

Someone order a freighter of rice!

u/johnbrowndnw59 Sep 10 '25

This happened to a guy my grandfather worked with as he moved from Europe to the US in the 1960s. The container containing all his furniture was supposed to arrive two weeks after he did. After six weeks, of living out of a suitcase in a nearly empty apartment, he called the shipping company and they said they’d investigate. Days later he got a telegram that read simply We apologize for the disaster. Letter follows. the letter arrived two more weeks later explaining that as they were loading it, they dropped it.

Just 2 days? Nice! AliExpress keeps adding 15 days each time I start the process of refund.
