So I was at OfficeMax today shipping off two packages (I've been using them instead of UPS due to lower shipping costs). Last week, they had run out of "Ground" forms, so they had been using "Express" forms for you to fill out.
The guy that is normally there that I go to would just write "GROUND" in big letters vertically down the right hand side of the form so that it would go ground instead of Express. Well, today, the store manager was working the counter. STILL no "Ground" forms, so he picked up an "Express" form. I specifically told him "Ground" and he handed me the forms for the packages and I filled them out. Well, everything goes as usual, and I pay my $7.65 a piece for each box going to California (one for eBay, one for AT FS/FT).
So I get out to the car and start looking at the copy of the "Express" form that he gave me back. I noticed that the didn't write GROUND on the form...I didn't think too much of it then. Then just now I checked the online tracking for the packages and sure enough, they're both going Airbone Express overnight (by noon tomorrow) instead of Ground. I pulled out the copies of the forms and it says in bold letters "Shipment will default to Express if no box is checked"
SCORE!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Mr. OfficeMax Manager!!
I should have two very surprised (and happy) customers tomorrow
