jeweledvixenLast Thursday I ordered a 32-gallon trash can from Staples. I had to buy the lid separately. :/ When I got my confirmation e-mail from Staples, the only thing on there was the lid. I called back and they said UPS wouldn't deliver something that big to the Post Office. Background - I live within a quarter-mile radius of the post office, so I do not get mail delivered to my apartment. It is considered an undeliverable address. UPS uses the USPS list of addresses to deliver their packages. ::Eye roll::
So, I canceled the lid, since it didn't do me any good without the trash can. On Monday, UPS delivered the lid TO MY HOUSE.
Today, I went round three, four and maybe five with, alternately, UPS, Staples, UPS and Staples again. UPS insisted they could deliver the trash can to my door. Staples insisted it was to big according to their contract with UPS. After over two hours on the phone, I will be getting my trash can delivered to my door on Thursday! At least I already have a lid for it - free of charge, since I canceled the order last week and the lady said go ahead and keep it. WHEW!
