I bought a gift for a friend online. I sent it to the place he lives at, but I sent it with the package being delivered to his girlfriend who lives with him so that he wouldn't get the gift early. Apparently UPS won't deliver the fucking package if you label the package to be sent to Kate X instead of Katherine X. So, my friend never got his package because UPS refused to deliver it to his girlfriend(WTF?). The girlfriend never got to go out to the UPS place to pick up the package. I don't think they own a car, so it'd be kinda fucking hard. So, it got sent back to the shipper. The shipper has never contacted me even though I've already contacted them about it.

So, I am annoyed. I think my friend would have actually enjoyed his gift and now I am out some $ because I am pretty sure this shitty company that Amazon uses for this item won't refund me my money.
 
Without reading anything other than the title... No, Trident. YOU Lose. It has nothing to do with what you did or didn't do. It's all just about you.
 
First, you're a fuckup. You got what you deserved. 2nd: Talk with Amazon. I find they can be amazingly helpful under the right circumstances.
 
I bought it for a friend who I knew in real life but who moved away... I bought the gift online. I know that first sentence can be misunderstood.

Man, your UPS guys really pays attention. I have had stuff that wasn't even addressed to me get delivered here. I tell him I am not the person, the guy asks if I am over 18, I can sign for it if I wanted or I could refuse it, my choice.
 
I can't understand why you'd write Kate instead of Katherine.
Maybe it's an anglosaxon habit, if someone is called Giuseppe I'd never write Beppe on the package. It wouldn't even come up in my mind.
 
OP doesn't make sense. If Kate wasn't home to receive the package, it doesn't matter if the package listed Kate or Katherine. So, basically no one was home, they left a note and she never went to pick-up the package. With the notice, she could have had it redirected and delivered to her place of work or somewhere else.

I've sent gifts using Amazon to friends across the country without issue.

I don't know which part of your ass you pulled this out of, but you are wrong. You are either lying, trolling, leaving something out, or a combination of the three.

Because they always called her Kate? It's not that shocking.

I'm calling complete BS on this story.
#1. If she wasn't home, they'd leave it at the door, unless it was high end stuff, which we all know TridenT can't afford.
#2. The name was Kate, her name is Katherine. UPS drivers aren't idiots when it comes to names. They know that's pretty normal.
#3. "I have a package for Kate" - the normal response is "Yeah, that's me" not "Oh, my name is Katherine, is that a problem?" Odds are, after checking a license if they are THAT skeptical, that the address doesn't house both a Kate and a Katherine with the same last name to the point that you can't just deliver to one and it not get to the other.

Frankly, this is likely just another "TridenT comes up with a dumbass story for attention and sympathy" thread.

Pretty much sums it up nicely.

At least Kate makes sense... I'll never understand how Dick is short for Richard, or Bob short for Robert.

1) False. Amazon puts signature required on ALL of their packages regardless of value. If you ever get an amazon package left at your door then the driver fucked up (unless you specifically told the shipper otherwise). Even the $6 HDMI cables I get shipped come signature required.

2) true story

3) you already said this in #2
