i think our holidays are deliver guys' torture days. they have to work from morning until night to deliver the packages to numerous crazy online shoppers, like me.
i bought some gifts from macy's more than two weeks ago, and it finally arrived today. i was thinking of other possible alternatives if the deliver guy failed to show up tonight; i might just go to the local macy's to buy another sets of gifts and then return whatever i ordered online once i get back from the trip. but after few days of delay, the deliver guy showed up and dropped off my package, which was signed by a stranger... and the package was open but nothing was missing. my friend spotted the package when she went out to dump her garbage and called me. i was lucky, i couldn't imagine what would happen to my package if it's left outside for a night. anyone could just take it.
anyway, so i don't need to go for a last shopping. and I finally finish packing, well, almost.
I also booked a hotel in guangzhou online. i searched for the hotel's phone number for a couple nights, and surprisingly, i couldn't find any. finally, i found something i thought it would be the number, and as i called, a lady with a sweet voice answered my phone. an agent, i supposed. I requested for the hotel's direct phone number, so i can contact that hotel and booked a room. But she said the phone # was not to disclose.... Can you imagine that? You want to live in that hotel for a week and you are not allowed to get in touch with that hotel prior to your check-in. Time pressed me, so i gave up and booked a room through her. she sounded sweet, and i tried to tell myself that everything would be okay; i just booked a room, i didn't give out my personal identification, i didn't disclose any sensitive information, i should be fine. the worst case is that i arrive in the hotel and try to check in and find that i have no reservation, and i am asked to book a room with doubled price, or leave. if that is the case, i will be happy to leave.
