    Somewhere along the line when packaging my laptop, Dell listed my house number as 5084 instead of 5064. I ordered the laptop online and checked all my email confirmations so I'm not sure how this could have happened.

    My brother saw the Purolator truck drive down my street and now it says "Attempted Delivery - Receiver Unavailable", obviously.

    Anyways I called Purolator, asked them whats going on and found out I can pick it up from the depot which is 10 mins away from my work so I will still have my brand new D630 by tonight!

    purolator sounds like a water company or a septic system company.

    heh i used to receive lots of packages by courier, somehow i developed a sixth sense and always knew when the courier van was about to deliver something, and cuz they usually deliver in the morning, I would be wide awake before they'd even knock the door. of course there were many times when i hadnt ordered anything and saw the courier van in the neighborhood and wondered if it's this one particular package they lost ages ago and finally deliver it!

    What would have happened if that person WAS home and they took the package? That would majorly suck. I would sneak into their house at night and kill them.
