That happened a couple of times recently. Lazy workers just dumping packages in forrests and creeks. I've worked a bit in jobs regarding trucks and I'm pretty sure it would take less time and energy, less energy for sure at least, to deliver those packages then to just dump them somewhere.
A pair of jeans from Old Navy was supposed to be here yesterday. Then I got an email saying they were delayed. This morning the tracking info said they were in my town and would be here today. Now theres no tracking info at all they just say the same thing saying they will be delivered today.
And still no refunds or checks were cleared either today.
