| - Someone needs to teach the people who are employed to make deliveries for Office Depot to ring doorbells. My girlfriend ordered an external hard drive for her computer and two days later a slip appeared at our door saying that they'd been by but that there was no answer, even though someone was in fact home all day. So, my girlfriend called and told them to just leave the package on our front porch, which she was told wouldn't be a problem. Sometime during that conversation she was also told that the company has no way of communicating with their drivers once they're on the road, WTF.
Two days later, after a quiet morning that wasn't disturbed by any ringing doorbells, I stepped outside at 11:30 and there was another slip saying that a second attempt had been made... at 2pm (obviously, no package had been left despite the permission that had been given and despite the fact that I was home when the person must have left the slip). Now, unless this particular Office Depot delivery person has some magical ability to travel in time I have to call bullshit - I mean, they apparently don't even have cell phones. And THEN, someone from the company called my girlfriend to chastise her for not being home to accept the delivery! The damn thing was finally successfully delivered on the third attempt, but needless to say neither one of us will be ordering from there again.
