My exact reaction as I opened the box and saw all the copper glitter!! @Tamara76

Well it looks pretty...

That stinks @gonerogue and I can't imagine how much of a mess that could've been had you opened it any differently.  Hopefully your local store has the proper one in stock so you can exchange.

[gonerogue]

REDEMPTION! Although the website said my local Sephora didn't have the copper one in stock, they really did have them when I went on my lunch! I made an even exchange and now my day is made 🙂

[Tamara76]

Woohoo!  Yay to happy endings! @gonerogue

[ElleElleG]

NICE!  Hope to see a look with it soon @gonerogue 🙂

[gonerogue]

@ElleElleG I am rather novice at makeup application but I will try my best to do a good look with it soon 😉

[gonerogue]

@ElleElleG I agree! It is beautiful and at least I know that I will love it once I actually use the product so let's hope they restocked or something because an exchange would be more convenient than a return.

The 5-hour back and forth with UPS has fortunately come to an end.

Spoiler

I managed to scare the UPS man and it was so worth it considering how he flew into the parking lot, and literally stormed up to my door  😏.  He tried to rope me into a conversation about how he really stopped by earlier 🙄 though he didn't knock because he didn't think anyone would be able to hear that from inside



He felt the need to reenact his prior delivery attempts.  Literally, re.en.act them.  On his way back the truck he offered an apology then proceeded to comment that he shops in store to avoid having to wait around for a delivery.

The Sephora package mishap I mentioned on Monday has been rectified.

@ElleElleG As your UPS fiasco ends, my begins! I have had 2 Nordies packages "out for delivery" this whole week and someone has been home every day at the time that they "attempted" to deliver them yet the tracker keeps saying no one was home so they will try again the next day. UPS around here is usually good about coming to the door so I am saddened by the fact that the drivers literally just drive by and don't bother really attempting to deliver the packages sometimes. I got on chat with UPS last night and was told my packages would be sent back to the shipper if I didn't opt for picking them up at the nearest facility. Now I have to take time out of my day some time this week to drive to the facility to retrieve my packages. This is making me rethink buying so much stuff online 😕 

[ElleElleG]

OMG, no @gonerogue Call as soon as you can.  I asked the associate on the phone to have someone from the local branch call me within an hour and I emphasized that I did not have time to reschedule my day to be there during the scheduled delivery window. 

BTW, if you don't have their basic UPS My Choice, get it.  They email you went a package is scheduled to be delivered & they provide a 4-hour window.  If you upgrade, which I dont, I believe you can specify down to an hour time frame when they will make the delivery.

UPS seriously needs to get it together.  I understand they may have a number of deliveries to make but that doesn't mean that people should be shortchanged.

[gonerogue]

Sorry for the late response! I just got around to checking my email this morning. I didn't try calling because it wasn't until late at night that I saw that they "attempted" to deliver my items and they were closed all weekend. Do you think it's a longshot if I call them today? I might just have to drive down there if it's the safest option for getting my stuff. I am just super irritated because of the fact that they didn't even attempt to come to the door. @ElleElleG

[ElleElleG]

@gonerogue sorry I'd didn't catch this sooner!   Did you receive your package?? 

There is a customer feedback option at the bottom of the page if you want to pass along your concerns to someone. I believe I received a response within a couple hours! 

[gonerogue]

@ElleElleG I had to go pick up my packages from the nearest UPS warehouse yesterday afternoon after work. Is the customer feedback button on the bottom of the tracking page for ups? Thanks for the tip. I will be sure to give them my input!

[ElleElleG]

@gonerogue Sorry you had to spend extra time going to them; so frustrating!

At the very bottom the "Email UPS" option will take you to a new page where you can specify what "support category" you want.  I believe I selected "General" since the receive shipment option was about the tracking #  I think.  Hope it helps and that someone gets back to you ASAP!

[gonerogue]

@ElleElleG Thanks for all your help! This is why I love the BT community ❤❤

[niki172]

He reenacted it?? Oh Lord! I would have told him thanks for the mime show just give me my d@mn package. And who is he to tell you not to shop online basically?? I would have told him that if I stop shopping online then that means no deliveries for you which means you're out of a job. Does he really want that cause he sounds like a super crappy delivery person to begin with so he might just be one of those unlucky few to go first on the chopping block. Sorry if this sounds catty; UPS is not my friend either. My guy loves to hurl packages at my front door 😒

[ElleElleG]

LOL right @niki172!  I think he was trying to prove that he HAD been there earlier but he was doing too much.  He made a comment about this being his old route but that he had been away for a while and I couldn't help but wonder if it was because of similar mishaps.  I'm hoping that now he knows that I will call & be a pain in the butt for him if I know packages are coming my way that he will be on his Ps & Qs now.....and/or the guy who took over for him while he was gone will come back because he was ON it!

[Tamara76]

Ugh - Really, UPS?

Sorry for all your frustration - sounds like a rough day. 😞  @ElleElleG

[ElleElleG]

Thanks @Tamara76 just one of those days I suppose.

BTW my hair looks just like this 😃
