- 0:00Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for an object.
- 0:02Speaker 2: It just doesn't I don't even hasn't even ship yet.
- 0:05Speaker 1: And there's never anyone to talk to.
- 0:06Speaker 2: No, that's the thing that drives me crazy. You're just
- 0:09Speaker 2: waiting for someone to get back to your email.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Yeah, especially if you're looking for your refund.
- 0:15Speaker 4: All of a.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Sudden, nobody's available.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones that Franti is checking in
- 0:20Speaker 1: from north to andover.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Uh, frand you're missing an item.
- 0:25Speaker 4: Yeah. So I ordered a bunch of stuff from Target,
- 0:29Speaker 4: from Alo whatever. Both of the packages say they were delivered,
- 0:33Speaker 4: Well they weren't because I didn't get them. So I'm like,
- 0:36Speaker 4: what is going on? This is teacher. Two packages came
- 0:39Speaker 4: at different times. They're both not here. So I ordered
- 0:42Speaker 4: stuff also from Lululemon, and I just so happened to
- 0:45Speaker 4: be home when the FedEx driver pulls up. He sat
- 0:48Speaker 4: in his truck and yeaded my package like a football
- 0:52Speaker 4: in the middle of my loss and drove away.
- 0:55Speaker 3: WHOA.
- 0:56Speaker 4: I was like, what are you doing?
- 0:58Speaker 3: I ran out.
- 0:59Speaker 4: I ran out to the end of my driveway and
- 1:01Speaker 4: I caught him right before he drove away, and I
- 1:03Speaker 4: was like, dude, what are you doing? Like I've lost
- 1:06Speaker 4: two packages because clearly you're throwing them and just leaving
- 1:10Speaker 4: them the winds blowing them whatnot. And he goes, oh,
- 1:12Speaker 4: so where do you want them? On the front steps?
- 1:14Speaker 4: Like where do you want them? And I goes, yeah,
- 1:16Speaker 4: where else would I want them?
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like the basic, like the bare minimum, just
- 1:21Speaker 2: on the on the step.
- 1:22Speaker 1: And the package was late as well, right yeah, and
- 1:27Speaker 1: I was.
- 1:28Speaker 4: So, I was so frustrated. I'm like, my packages are
- 1:30Speaker 4: being lost because he's eating them across my lawn.
- 1:34Speaker 5: I always wondered that when it says fragile, do we
- 1:37Speaker 5: think that the drivers really pay extra special attention?
- 1:40Speaker 3: Absolutely not. I would hope something. You're right, they could
- 1:43Speaker 3: just toss What.
- 1:44Speaker 1: If he tossed it on the lawn and bounced behind
- 1:46Speaker 1: a bush and nobody.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Ever found it.
- 1:48Speaker 2: I'm sure that's what happened.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The landscaper will find it in the spring and say, hey,
- 1:53Speaker 1: was this yours.
- 1:55Speaker 5: I'm going to say I have not witnessed that. We
- 1:56Speaker 5: get a lot of deliveries at the house and they're
- 1:58Speaker 5: always great.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Yeah, they place them.
- 2:01Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:01Speaker 1: You know what else is weird that's going on with
- 2:03Speaker 1: online shopping, though, is you keep getting texts from different people.
- 2:06Speaker 1: I've got five different drivers claiming to have my package,
- 2:10Speaker 1: like and none of them ever shows up. And they've
- 2:13Speaker 1: given you know, detailed instructions on when they're coming and
- 2:17Speaker 1: the fact that they've got the item. I just picked
- 2:19Speaker 1: it up at such and such a place. I'm on
- 2:20Speaker 1: my way on your way to wear because you never
- 2:24Speaker 1: came to me.
- 2:25Speaker 5: And you gotta be careful with those texts too, because
- 2:27Speaker 5: some of those scams. Yes, I never clicked the links
- 2:30Speaker 5: in those techs.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I got a text from Feliciano the driver, like one
- 2:35Speaker 1: in the morning, and I'm like, I was a fully
- 2:37Speaker 1: Siano's delivering now?
- 2:39Speaker 5: Jo Is that who brought the brackets? It could have
- 2:42Speaker 5: been it was definitely him.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Is that what he's doing now? At least so on Amazon?
- 2:48Speaker 7: I am so lazy that I haven't deleted my other
- 2:52Speaker 7: like debit cards I have linked to my account. So
- 2:54Speaker 7: I have a couple link to my account. And I
- 2:56Speaker 7: ordered a bunch of things with this credit card that
- 3:00Speaker 7: or debit card that was expired that I forgot. So
- 3:03Speaker 7: when I went to go look at my Amazon order
- 3:04Speaker 7: a couple of days ago, then see that it wasn't
- 3:06Speaker 7: it was canceled, and I was like, what is going on?
- 3:09Speaker 7: And I ordered it with the wrong card. So some
- 3:12Speaker 7: of the stuff now is not going to be here
- 3:13Speaker 7: till January.
- 3:16Speaker 1: You know one part that's really good though, And I
- 3:18Speaker 1: get to give them the shout out. The FedEx stores
- 3:20Speaker 1: that you go to to return something, they couldn't possibly
- 3:24Speaker 1: make it any easier. There's one right over here at
- 3:26Speaker 1: Station Landing. So Michelle will give me the package that's
- 3:29Speaker 1: getting sent back so that I can bring it to
- 3:32Speaker 1: Station Landing. But when you bring it in, they're very friendly,
- 3:36Speaker 1: very fast. They take your package. They will repack it
- 3:39Speaker 1: and label it.
- 3:40Speaker 2: And off and goes yeah the system works great.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, good luck getting your refund. But at
- 3:45Speaker 1: least the package is going back.
- 3:46Speaker 2: To work returned the item.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Yes, and there's a record of it.
- 3:50Speaker 5: They give you as how many items does your wife return?
- 3:54Speaker 3: Uncountable?
- 3:55Speaker 1: Like I'm telling you she spends half of a day
- 3:57Speaker 1: repacking stuff or saying, oh this is going back wrong
- 4:00Speaker 1: eyes ron collar.
- 4:01Speaker 5: Did she also send food back at restaurants?
- 4:03Speaker 3: Never? Okay, never? Yeah, you don't want.
- 4:05Speaker 4: To do that?
- 4:06Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 4:06Speaker 8: Never.
- 4:07Speaker 6: So I don't really have a bad story with shopping.
- 4:10Speaker 6: It was just kind of frustrating and anxiety ridden. I
- 4:14Speaker 6: was able to buy the Vans K Pop Demon Hunters
- 4:18Speaker 6: for my daughter for Christmas, but I was on the
- 4:21Speaker 6: website for an hour, the website crashed, I was on
- 4:24Speaker 6: the app, and then finally I was able to get them.
- 4:29Speaker 6: So it gave me a lot of anxiety. And hopefully
- 4:33Speaker 6: they'll be here by Christmas.
- 4:35Speaker 2: See that's the thing. She ordered them and she got them.
- 4:37Speaker 3: But are they coming for Christmas?
- 4:41Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 4:41Speaker 5: Are you going to get the item or or.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Is this a January delivery?
- 4:44Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 4:45Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, just put like an IOU in the in
- 4:48Speaker 5: the gift and.
- 4:52Speaker 7: That they're coming.
- 4:52Speaker 5: It'll be here in January.
- 4:54Speaker 9: This is seldom from Duxbury. About the online shopping. I
- 4:57Speaker 9: think the main culprit for me is when I like
- 5:00Speaker 9: something on Instagram and go to buy it out of there,
- 5:03Speaker 9: and especially the link to shop the site that processes
- 5:06Speaker 9: so many payments. Now, once you go there, good luck
- 5:09Speaker 9: getting anybody in customer service. Even if you find an
- 5:13Speaker 9: email address, you're just not going to get anybody. So
- 5:16Speaker 9: I think the best thing, and this is what people advise,
- 5:19Speaker 9: is to go on a website, not just a link
- 5:21Speaker 9: from Instagram.
- 5:23Speaker 5: So I ordered three things from Shop yesterday through Instagram
- 5:26Speaker 5: and Facebook ads Christmas gifts. Yeah, I did get to
- 5:29Speaker 5: know the confirmation email. But the thing I with social
- 5:33Speaker 5: media marketing now is like crazy, especially around the holiday season.
- 5:37Speaker 5: It was so many cool I saw three things that
- 5:38Speaker 5: I wanted that were cool for my life and stress.
- 5:41Speaker 3: It's easy.
- 5:41Speaker 5: It's easy.
- 5:42Speaker 2: The other thing is like red flag is if they
- 5:46Speaker 2: say they're going to ship it to you and the
- 5:48Speaker 2: shippings for free, and they don't give you any other
- 5:50Speaker 2: option to ship or expedited shipping. That's a red flag
- 5:55Speaker 2: because then you have no idea how they're shipping it
- 5:57Speaker 2: and how long it's.
- 5:58Speaker 6: Going to be.
- 5:58Speaker 5: They're going to choose the sh that takes the law exactly.
- 6:01Speaker 2: That's a good Yeah, Like I never buy stuff like
- 6:05Speaker 2: that now. It's like I always want the option. If
- 6:07Speaker 2: I want to pay more to have it shipped overnight,
- 6:09Speaker 2: I at least want the option to do so.
- 6:11Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Another pet peeve of mine with the online shopping is
- 6:15Speaker 1: you'll give them the money, they'll gladly take the money
- 6:18Speaker 1: and they will take your order and confirm the fact
- 6:21Speaker 1: that they got your order, thank you. But then a
- 6:24Speaker 1: week later you'll get the notice it's been back ordered
- 6:27Speaker 1: for like six months.
- 6:28Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like I'm telling you, it's very stressful.
- 6:31Speaker 3: Just go in the store and get it.
- 6:33Speaker 1: If it's not on the shelf, it could be out
- 6:35Speaker 1: back on a shelf, or they'll just tell you it's
- 6:38Speaker 1: out of stock.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Yesterday a package came. It was my gift for Lisa,
- 6:43Speaker 5: and I'm not gonna say what it was, but you
- 6:45Speaker 5: could tell it was for a female. It was not underwear,
- 6:47Speaker 5: just so, and my wife goes, hey, you want of
- 6:51Speaker 5: your Christmas gifts from me?
- 6:52Speaker 3: Came I saw it.
- 6:53Speaker 5: I'm sorry in an accident and I, oh, no, that
- 6:55Speaker 5: was for Lisa. The look she gave me.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Talking about did you get the eye roll?
- 7:02Speaker 8: Right?
- 7:09Speaker 3: How is that your work? Wife? Show?
- 7:13Speaker 8: The worst I've had with online shopping is when they
- 7:16Speaker 8: deliver the item and it's not even in your own neighborhood,
- 7:20Speaker 8: and then you have to rely on a good Samaritan
- 7:23Speaker 8: or a good neighbor who's again not in your neighborhood,
- 7:26Speaker 8: but like two three streets away, and they co and
- 7:31Speaker 8: they deliver it to you. I had this happen with
- 7:33Speaker 8: a package. They randomly threw it around her pool, and yeah,
- 7:38Speaker 8: that sucked.
