So yesterday, we got a package delivered by FedEx to our house. This is not an unusual occurrence in the slightest; between my husband and I, we order from Amazon an average of once a week, not to mention other various online retailers. However, the package we got yesterday was not addressed to us. The name and address on it are clearly not ours. The address is somewhere on our street, but the house number is completely different, and the name is not even remotely similar to either my or my husband's name.
So last night I called FedEx and told them what was up. I gave them the tracking number and our address where the package ended up, and they said someone would be around tomorrow (that would be today) to pick it up, so just leave it outside our door.
Well, it was still outside our door 20 minutes ago (at 10:10pm) so we figured we'd bring it back in and I called FedEx again to see what was going on. This time I gave the CSR the tracking number (the same set of numbers I gave the CSR last night) and tonight's CSR couldn't find it in their system. He eventually found it with the name and address on the package, and said that someone would be around on Monday to pick it up, so just leave it outside our door.
One part of me thinks we could just walk this box down the street and drop it off to whomever it belongs to. On the other hand, it's not our fault that the FedEx guy was drunk yesterday and couldn't read the address on it. And like my husband said, we don't want to be the ones responsible if we drop and break it along the way (we have no idea what it is, but the box is big and fairly heavy.)
My husband also thinks there's some kind of conspiracy going on: First the FedEx guy delivered it to the wrong address, then he failed to pick it up and deleted the tracking number out of the system after we called. Whatever is in this box, he does not want the intended recipient to receive it!
