I've got an even better story .. it's about FedEx, and Buy.com.
I had moved in to a new house in a new city, and was only there a few weeks. I went and ordered some Logitech Headphones from Buy.com, paying with Google Checkout. It was the first time using google checkout, and apparently I typo'd the Street name, putting the city name as the street (I to, can be a dumbass sometimes)...
So after I realize this and call Buy.com, they give me a tracking number for Fedex. I contact Fedex, and I am told it's been delivered. I am also told that it originally had a wrong address, so Fedex called Buy.com, to get my proper address. They were given a working address, and delivered my package.
Fedex told me there was nothing they can do, they delivered the package to the address buy.com gave them. So.. I asked Fedex for that address. It was about a mile away.
I drive over there and this kid answers. I ask him if they received a package that was not for them 'last friday' (this was when fedex told me it had been delivered). He asks me what was in it, and then his mom comes to the door. He comes back with the headphones and I thank them, and his wife tells me that they couldn't figure out why these headphones were delivered to her husband, he hadn't ordered them.
Turns out, the dude had the same name as me, and buy.com had him on file. So they just found the same name, in the same city, and gave that address to Fedex.
Idiots.. guess they can't work a phone. Though I guess it's all my fault for fucking up the address in the first place!
