Title: I need to start reading the UPS labels more closely ... Post by: DeathAndTaxes on January 04, 2013, 01:36:50 AM ... was expecting our company new server from UPS but it wasn't scheduled to arrive until tomorrow.
I mean Super Micro, remote access via IMPI, 16 DIMMs slots, dual Xexon socket 2011 capable. 24 bay 2.5" drive SAS capable backplane. Dual 1020W redundant power supplies. Came how to see a giant UPS box on the porch. I gleefully drag its inside (heavy), grab a box cutter and slash it open to see.... two giant bags of cat food. We use http://petflow.com (good service by the way but not high end SuperMicro server good) That was rough and I just felt the need to share ...

Which purchase the cat food? No it comes on a schedule I just forgot totally about it. I saw UPS box and my mind jumped to "server arrived early".

I guess I would have had some explaining to my partners on why the company was the proud owner of $1,200 in pet food. Title: Re: I need to start reading the UPS labels more closely ...

Item bought: 3D printer Item delivered: Two desks from Costco I at least caught it before opening it, but only because it was obvious to me that the shape of the boxes wasn't a 3d printer.

Post by: Lethn on January 04, 2013, 06:27:40 AM lol I doubt it's just UPS, I've forgotten the company but for Christmas I got a bunch of Jewellery tools, the guy gave the wrong package by accident and came back to swap, from now on I will be sure to never order anything during December and the new year.

Post by: gabbergabe on January 04, 2013, 03:42:03 PM man i really dont like it when they just leave big items from the post office on my porch, I live accross the school on a single road that leads down to a dead end, and behind the dead end is a trail in the forest that leads to 6 different outlets in our suburbia which just makes it so easy for those to walk after school amonst the many and take from our porch while were at work. They blend in and by the time they hit the trail there gone, that trail goes 6 different places.
