Stirred UP

Aaron said:
This is the second time that UPS has taken it on themselves to change the delivery address that I gave to the shipper. The first time the package made its way to me eventually but this time it just appears to be lost. They sent it to an address across town for some reason.

And the claim process is convoluted and just sends me in circles. I'm about to cross stores that ship by UPS off my list whenever possible.

Changed how? Added the extra 4 zip code digits? I have purchases recommend that to what I put for shipping but always select to keep the one I gave them. Always wondered if the extra 4 would throw it off or just be helpful fr them somehow.......

The first time they changed the delivery address to a house I'd sold a couple years before and this time they changed it to some random house a couple miles from me. When I run the tracking info it shows my name but the address is a house in the other side of town.
And I have confirmation from both eBay and PayPal that it started with my correct address.

That’s nuts. I don’t know how that would happen. Other than that old scorned girlfriend of yours that started working at central sorting.
 
Stirred up -

You place one of these online grocery delivery orders well in advance...and you still get main meal items (Like meats) shorted...

I hear that. Or the replace something with an "equivalent" item that is most definitely NOT equivalent.
 
Trails that switch walk/bike sides randomly and bikes that whizz past pedestrians without calling out.
 
eBay sellers who list used items as new are so frustrating, especially those who are selling "broken in" brushes as new.
New is new, used is used. Like new is used. Used once is used. Barely used is used. It's not hard.
 
Company ships next day air on the 22nd, anticipated delivery 24th.

Fedex... don't worry I got you how about the 28th?

Well the package is still lost but I got a refund right away from eBay. Next time I'll remember to not mess with the shipper and just use eBay's claims process. I actually had to choose from either physical mail or fax to file my claim through UPS. What is this, 1995?
 
Not stirred up, per se, but an annoyance.

You can add the fact that there exist people who prefer iOS to Android to the list of things I will never be able to comprehend.

What an enormous step backward in convenience and utility it has been switching from a 2016 Samsung to a 2020 iPhone.

I got things filled out and did my 2 week request when I could get through on the site that was overloaded. Will know this week if I'm still approved when I see if they direct deposit anything. Thanks for asking Aaron
 
Okay...this is SUPER minor. And would definitely be classified as "First World Problems." I get it...there are much more important things in the world. But this little tiny minor thing is really getting under our skin.
I don't have traditional cable anymore. The wife and I have opted to use streaming services. One of them is Hulu+...though I really don't think Hulu+ is much different than having cable...you know...except it's a lot cheaper. Anyway...there are shows we like to watch on premium channels like HBO, Starz, and Showtime. So we just purchase that individual streaming service for the duration of the show and then cancel and move on to the next one. It works for us.

Additionally, we originally were using an Amazon Fire TV to access the likes of Hulu and other things. We ended up getting a Roku because we discovered that Hulu works better on a Roku than it does on Fire TV (that's just...like...my opinion...man 🤪 ). So yeah...I have a Fire TV and Roku.

Here is the rub...we were purchasing HBO through Amazon Prime and discovered that HBO Max is the same price as what we were paying. Also, certain movies and programs were only accessed through HBO Max. Supported devices for HBO Max does not include Roku or Amazon devices (which is crazy to me...but hey...I understand...licensing and all...right?) BUT....BUT....HBO Max is an add on in Hulu. Great...cancel one...get HBO Max through Hulu and all is well. Or Not!

I quickly learned that a good bit...or all...not sure on this...of the HBO Max content is not accessible through Hulu...what gives man? Here is the deal...and I had to kind of dig to figure this out. Yes you can purchase an HBO Max subscription through Hulu. And you can watch all that HBO Max has to offer. But you can't do it through Hulu. Let me say that again...you can't watch HBO Max content through Hulu. You can watch the content originally intended for HBO on Hulu. So...how do I access the HBO Max stuff? I have to download that app separately.

That's right. I can download the HBO Max app separately...use my Hulu credentials...and gain access. But going back to the original issue...I can't do it on Roku or Fire TV. So I have a Samsung Smart TV...that I may be able to download the app to...but now I am toggling between devices which I was really trying to prevent...and that is if I can download the app.

All of this seems super disingenuous to me and I feel like I have been had. A sort of bait and switch if you will. I knw this is a small thing and I really should focus on more important matters at hand...but it just really got under my skin.

Okay...I feel better now...move along...nothing to see here!
 
Okay...just set up the app on my TV. There is a little lag between remote and screen...but not too bad. The TV is close enough to the router so I may just do a hard connect instead of wireless. I guess it's not all that bad...but it still irks me.
