Oy vey. Getting packages on the road is challenging and interesting. It takes some research to figure out whether a campground receives packages, who will get it, and how they will get it to me. If we are in one location long enough, Amazon does a great job of delivering before we leave for our next destination. But this time I didn’t use Amazon.
We were in Sedalia for the International Airstream Rally and they received packages at the Rally site. I didn’t think it would be a problem. The manufacturer promised a delivery date before the rally ended, but they didn’t try to deliver it until Saturday after the rally had ended. The Fairground administrative offices are closed on the weekend. Monday was a holiday so they were closed, and we left on Tuesday to go to our next destination. Of course, Tuesday is when they delivered it.
I called the Fairground and they had returned to sender, as they did with all rally packages. The company said we would have to pay for shipping even if we cancel the order. I’m going to fight that one because we were given a specific date and they didn’t fulfill that promise.
It’s only a month before we get back to Conroe, so we’ll likely not order anything else to be delivered between now any then. Just one more of the fun things we encounter while living life on the road!
If you are a full-timer in an RV, how do you get your packages? I’d love to hear from you in the comments below.
À la prochaine…hasta la próxima vez…until next time!
