UPS teases me about my Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium

That’s just SO not right. I know the Samsung Q1 Ultra Premium shipped yesterday and I paid for 2nd Day Air service. That means I should have the device as early as tomorrow, but I thought it also meant I’d be able to track it today. You know, like hit my browser refresh button a few hundred times today just for the chance to see one, maybe two location updates. I may get the device tomorrow, but I think I’m getting ripped off today. It’s all part of the experience UPS! Or am I the only one who does this? ;) Update: Oh UPS. Still no tracking data and now you have the nerve to ring my doorbell… with an unexpected package for Barb?!? Evil. Pure evil.

  • ‘Twas the day before delivery
    When all through the net,
    Not an update was posted,
    On Kevin’s brand new tablet.

    The refresh button
    Was clicked with great care,
    In hopes a UPS truck
    Soon would be there.

    While the readers all clamored
    Over flat cordless mice,
    Kevin was fixated
    On a brand new device.

    He tried a distraction:
    New websites to code.
    But all he could think of
    Was Samsung drivers to load.

    When all of a sudden
    What appeared on the site?
    Oh, it’s just James
    With a Fujitsu insight.

    On comes the frustration,
    “That’s just SO not right.”
    The unboxing video
    Would wait one more night.

  • I had the same thing happen to me while awaiting my MacBook. A package for my wife came earlier in the day, and almost gave me a heart attack.

  • Glad to hear I am not in the “hit refresh” when a package is due (and the UPS button gets a temporary home on my menu bar :) )

    More than likely it is “in the air”
