2nd bar codes on shippments.

jml326 went on a bit of a rant said Wed, Dec 16th 2015 at 11:16pm ET

Today after well over a year of receiving packages from meh I was embarrised.

My work place has a central mail room l, much like othe places, that receives ups, fedex, and usps. Most of the time fedex, and ups get delivered by the carrier directly to us. Sometimes ups and fedex get delivered by an in house person. USPS always gets delivered to my building mail room and requires us to sign for packages so they are not liable. In reality we are not suppose to have personal shipments but bribes never hurt anyone.

Anyway today the mail room used it's UPS/FedEx gun to scan my meh package. How ever they didn't scan the delivery barcode. They scanned the package confirmation bar code. Now I would not have guessed that this little handheld computes would be able to read this bar code, but it did. I had to explain myself and open the package in front on the mail room staff and supervisor to prove I am not some sick pervert. BTW my order code was ravishing-passive-sheep

Lesson learned make sure to block the lower bar code or else...

My friend's mom is really into sheep. There are sheep figurines, paintings, throws, stuffed animals, etc. all over their house. So of course one year her sons bought her an inflatable sexy sheep with lingerie printed on it for her birthday or Christmas; I can't remember which. It wasn't actually a sex doll, but it was supposed to look like it was. So I guess you should be glad that wasn't what was in it.

At least you received your ravishing sheep...

My package was turned over by FedEx to the U.S. Post Office, who claims it was delivered to my mailbox. But it was not. There's no proof of delivery. No way to prove definitely that it was, or was not, delivered.

I am really bummed out...
