I ordered a thing with expedited shipping.
It'll arrive a few hours after I need it, and I don't think there's any good way of having it redirected. :\
The distribution center is several hundred feet from where I work.
...and evidently My UPS and UPS My Choice are different things.
...and as a society we still haven't come up with a decent way of identifying people on websites, and are still using an antiquated system of "Speak the pass-phrase, stranger!"
...and some websites don't
tell you "You have 3 attempts to log in before we completely lock you out, and require you to call customer service to unlock your account," versus "You have a crapton of attempts and it'll result in a 5-minute lockout," versus "We don't care, try 10 times per second. Security is an afterthought."
(Every time I have to travel for work, it's a fresh reminder of how much the lead-up&planning stage sucks. Prep supplies, book a flight, rent a car...logistics.)
....UPS: Create account and password.
Copy/paste username and password from Notepad.
Login using clipboard data.
Do something else, account times out.
Go to log back in.
Username/password combo is now invalid.
