Ack! South Pacific order gone astray
I placed a *big* order for pearls and basic G/F and silver findings
from South Pacific last week, and I think it must have been sent to my old, rather than my new address. I've forwarded the UPS tracking info to SP via email, and asked my cousin Xan to stop by my old address some time after work to see if the new tenant took delivery. It was a *lot* of money's worth of stuff. Basically, my 'seed money' for upgrading to better quality findings and such for resale. There is a big anxiety hole at the pit of my stomach right now, and any good vibes that things come out alright rather than my having to write it off as a loss would be greatly appreciated. I don't think SP is at all at fault. I thought I had updated my shipping address with most folks I frequently do mail order business with, but on reflection ... I think that was one place I missed, and their records must have had the old address only. My credit card billing info has changed, though, so if I had been luckier they might have queried the address at the time of the order instead of trusting what was on their records. Deirdre |

You have good vibes coming from Austin, Texas! I hope they find them soon.

Thanks. I heard back from South Pacific apologizing for the error
(they *do* have my current address in their records, but something slipped up in the order processing, and it reverted somehow). I also sent a note to my cousin, Xan, who works about a mile from my old address, asking her to stop by and inquire in person, if possible. Haven't heard back from her yet. But SP offered to get UPS to go back and pick it up if she can't retrieve it directly. I am less anxious now that some plans that might help are in motion, and though I am not counting my chickens quite yet, I think the rcb 'good outcome' vibes are at least pushing things in the right direction. Thanks and keep 'em coming, y'all. I'll let you know how it comes out as soon as something concrete happens.

]retrieve it directly. GOOD FOR THEM! i really LIKE those people! Since it was their error, I'd feel better if they said they would re-pull the order and ship it to YOU immediately.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, based on past good
experiences... and I'll be surprised if they don't follow through until I am satisfied, however my attempts at direct action work out. As long as I actually get what I ordered, I'm not majorly impatient about it. If I had pending customer orders that depended on it, I'd be pressing harder, but I don't.

It is found. My cousin called to say it was on the doorstep at my old
address, where they apparently don't have a new tenant yet. It was bursting its box a bit, so she unpacked it and we inventoried the contents over the phone. It was all there, and she will rebox it and send it on to me this weekend via insured USPS. whew I emailed South Pacific letting them know it is in trusted hands at this point, and will be heading my way soon. I asked them to credit me for the shipping charges, since that seems fair under the circumstances. I'll let you all know if they don't agree to that arrangement, but don't expect them to quibble, since they've been spared arm-wrestling with UPS over its return... Thank you all for 'good outcome vibes'. I think their existence and efficacy have been vindicated again.
