Worst Case Scenario

UPDATE: It turns out the UPS driver delivered my equipment to my neighbor two doors down. My neighbor showed up on my doorstep the morning after my gear was delivered holding an open box saying, "Sorry, I opened it. I thought it was my sales materials." As much as I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, I can't help but wonder. I mean, really. Does he get so many packages that he doesn't even look at the label to see whom it's addressed to? ...I dunno....It's a darn good thing I didn't order my dream camera worth the price of a good used car. Otherwise, that neighbor might've been tempted to gift himself with a new camera or make some cash selling it on eBay. Yikes.

1) Worst case scenario: You order some needed equipment for a shoot and it doesn't arrive on time.

2) Better yet: You order some needed equipment for a shoot and it arrives on time but gets delivered to somebody else.

3) Even better: You order some needed equipment for a shoot and it arrives on time but gets delivered to someone else and they pretend like they don't have it all the while they're gleefully playing with your couple hundred dollars worth of gear.

So the winner goes to #2 and the scary thought of #3 is playing in my head.

Great. Just great. I won't say the exact carrier of the package but let's just say they've been known to wear the color brown.

I ordered a couple things from B&H Photo (I highly recommend them. Fantastic business.) Not the biggest purchase ever. But hey, a few hundred bucks is still a few hundred bucks. And it's never fun to have money disappear.
Anyway, I ordered 4 different items to take along on a roadtrip to Eastern Washington tomorrow to photograph a couple of awesome home interiors/exteriors and also several tablescapes and food shots at the homes of an artist and an interior designer.

It was supposed to arrive at my doorstep today and, according to the tracking page online, it was delivered to a "Front Door." Well, that's great. Good. Wonderful. Now here's what I'd like to know: Who's front door was it delivered to?

It sure wasn't delivered to my front door.

Time will tell. I hope this all resolves itself tomorrow morning. The good news is that it's only a portfolio shoot to bulk up my portfolio and get some fresh work going, plus I only really needed one of the items I ordered. The other 3 items would've made the shoot easier but I wouldn't have suffered too badly without them. Ah well. I'll just have to regroup and make the most of what I have...and pray that there isn't some evil person out there playing with my hard earned money. If I'd have gotten someone's package, no matter how expensive, I would've returned it to them--that's the absolute truth.
