er, return to continent
So yesterday at work I was expecting a package from a factory we use in Mexico. They shipped it last week and by now it should've been here, except that when I tracked it the package had apparently gone to Roissy, France.
UPS had this to say, as something of an apology, I suppose:
AN INCORRECT ROUTING AT A UPS FACILITY CAUSED THIS DELAY;THE PACKAGE WAS MISSORTED AT THE HUB. IT HAS BEEN REROUTED TO THE CORRECT DESTINATION SITE
I can understand. I mean, who wouldn't confuse Roissy, France with Columbus, Ohio?

Yes. I shipped a package to Nigeria on 11/25/09 which should have been delivered within 2 business days. The package ended up in Roissy, France and sat there for 2 days. The agent apologized for the misrouted package, but had to decline the apology for my refund of $476 shipping cost. Okay, Nigeria and Roissy, France.....do these two countries sound and read the same?????
