I lost one of two computer cases that I ordered from Newegg on Oct.

I found what I believe is one of them, but I can't find the other one.

I have a very vague and hazy recollection that when it was delivered, I expected two, but only received one.

I don't think that it was stolen at all.
I'm going to have to check my "warehouse". Maybe I stashed it there.

I can't recall building a PC with it.

Edit: Nevermind. I just double-checked the invoice, apparently, I only ordered one after all...

Yep, totally normal with drink shopping. I've seen it before and it can be very confusing when you find things you never remember ordering or can't find things you know you ordered. Please accept this pamphlet and we will be glad to help.

I'm a database programmer, no longer on anyone's payroll, but I keep data for myself, which is both fun and very helpful. Every online purchase I make I document in my data and I keep track. When I receive the order, I document that I received it... all of it, just like I ordered it. If I have any reason sometime later to wonder exactly what I ordered, even many years later, I can easily and quickly look it up. My memory is no match for this system. It's also very extendable. The things I've done with it are IMO amazing. It's kind of like life. Started very very small and look what we've got/had! IOW, it's not just for internet shopping (that's just in one of almost 500 tables), it's all kinds of stuff.

Man, you're no fun. I kind of like surprise of not knowing what I ordered or what I find that I didn't realize I ordered :D JK, but It has happened once or twice, lol.

I've got a couple things coming from Shanghei, China right now. Won't see them until, who knows, maybe after I'm vaccinated and living in the "new world!" Would I remember in March that I ordered thus and so in December? Maybe not without my data system.
