    blondheim got a reaction from Dr. Know in HOOK (1991) - NEW! 2023 3-CD Ultimate Edition Produced, Edited, and Mastered by Mike Matessino featuring all Williams/Bricusse songs   
    So thanks for all the info and kind words. It turns out the mistake was mine: in my zeal on Black Friday, in the confusion of having a different shipping and billing address and just having moved, I wrote the top line of my previous address, which is still my billing address, and the bottom line of my new address. However, that composite address doesn’t exist. That’s why it got returned to sender. I contacted the local post office and also USPS trying to halt or redirect the package. I offered to come get it. They told me there was no option other than returning to sender. I emailed La-La Land (twice, accidentally, sorry for that too, guys) and apologized and explained and asked that when it comes back to them they redirect it to the proper address.
     
    The whole thing is my own stupid fault. I’ve been looking at that wrong address every time I checked the email to grab the tracking number and my brain never put it together that it was wrong. That’s how excited I am: tunnel vision. Not only do I feel foolish but I’m actually fairly upset as conditions at work have been getting very poor recently and I may  need to start looking for a new job so I was really looking forward to Hook putting a nice smile on my day and instead I have to feel stupid and go without for god knows how long. Although I ordered another one right away. I figured I’ll give the other one to one of my very close friends who lamented not having the money for it this year. At least something good will come out of this mess.
     
    But I’m not ashamed to say I cried a little over the whole thing. The utter frustration going through it over and over and the phone and then finally figuring out what was actually wrong: I’ve never felt so dumb. I have no one to blame but myself either. Like I said, the wrong address was right in front of my face from the beginning. Alas, here we are. Nothing can be done so no more use crying about it.
     
    Thank the stars, I bought the OSTs of Star Trek Wrath of Khan, Undiscovered Country, First Contact, Insurrection, and Final Frontier on EBay. So there’s at least that to look forward too. I also bought La-La Land’s First Knight on EBay as well. And then from Screen Archives, I bought La-La Land’s TMP and WOK. I haven’t heard anything about that order but it hasn’t been that long. We are waiting patiently to see what happens. I’ve never ordered from there before. I don’t want to say it was an experiment but I did want to try it. I figured seeing if they had WOK in stock was a perfect opportunity and so I grabbed both because I’m economical when I splurge.
     
    The Moral of the Story is I‘m real glad I bought all this other shit.

    This morning I wake up and all the electricity is out in my room. Idk if I’ve blown a fuse or a breaker or something but I have to wait until my landlord gets up for him to fix it.

    So now on the tracking it has a section saying Return to Sender Processed?! It doesn’t make sense. the tracking says it’s going to be delivered today but it looks like it is going backwards away from me through the previous steps.

    blondheim got a reaction from 1977 in HOOK (1991) - NEW! 2023 3-CD Ultimate Edition Produced, Edited, and Mastered by Mike Matessino featuring all Williams/Bricusse songs   
    So listen to this: I get home and Hook isn’t here. The postal workers have been here and dropped off other things but not Hook. The tracker says it’s still Out For Delivery and will be here by 9:00pm. However I’m worried as a postal worker has clearly already been here.
     
    So I’m a reeeeeeally anxious little ball of stress all of a sudden. All that anticipation and hype just sank a deep pit into my stomach. I have to hope it arrives via another carrier by nine. Otherwise I’m gonna be worried it was stolen etc. until tmrw, hoping it arrives then. And on and on it goes but I digress/am catastrophizing.
     
    I haven’t had a problem with anything being delivered here so far. I just got Solo the other day for example. But this is a new place I’ve just moved into.

    Still not here. Tracking information still says the same thing out for delivery, expected by 9pm. Idk what to do now except bite my nails until I wake up tomorrow and then stress wait some more? Ugh. This is the worst.

    It won't sit in the truck overnight. It'll get wheeled back inside where no one can get to it.

    I've had this happen before. It'll arrive tomorrow. It's on the truck and hasn't been scanned at your house, so unless someone carjacks the mail truck overnight, you'll get it tomorrow.

    Former postal worker here — There are so many packages going out in the month of December that it’s not at all uncommon for carriers to split routes or take the packages off of someone else’s route in order to help them get done faster. Hopefully that’s all that’s going on.

    Don’t stress! (Even though I’d stress just the same as you if it were me.) If it says out for delivery, it hasn’t been scanned at the dropoff point (your mailbox). It’s still on a truck somewhere. And now that you’re home, you’ll be there when the guy does finally show.
