    Shit like this always pisses me off.

    I had this once happen few years ago with university books. Got emailed that it was delivered but I didn’t receive it and was home all day. Got them the day after.

      Same thing happened to me.

      I ordered an expensive instrument, and they said it’d be delivered the week after Thanksgiving.

      Got an email that it was delivered to my porch the day after Thanksgiving, when I was all the way across town.

      I didn’t want to leave a $1,300 lute on my doorstep for anyone to snatch, so I drove the hour home to secure it. It wasn’t there after all, so I installed their stupid app and it told me it would be delivered next week.

      One of the worst buying experiences I’ve ever had. 1/10, would not recommend.

    i got an email from Verizon, confirming my order shipped. If i want to track the order i had to create an account. then i create the account and click to track it and theres no tracking info, just trying to upsell me warranty and accessories. i go to chatbot support and it tells me to go to the same link without tracking. so i call verizon and fight through the terrible voicebots to get a person who gives me the tracking number… which actually doesnt exist for 3 more days, since it hasnt actually shipped yet. when it actually ships via UPS the website offers to hold my package for pick up if i click a link… but then i need to create a ups account first. then i do that and it says oh we cant hold this package because of the senders rules.

    Most sites I’ve ordered from that use shop will still email a link to tracking number, you don’t need to download shop to track it.
