UPS- the name in excess packaging

When Angela got word that her sister Diana has been struggling with a fussy baby, she was more than sympathetic! Truth is, Angela has been struggling with a fussy baby, as well. It's been a case of trans-continental sleeplessness and colic.

However, Angela is a mathematician so problem solving is her strength. She found some relief in a book that explains how to calm a fussy baby. And her first instinct was to share her new found knowledge with her sleep deprived sister (and brother-in-law).

Angela is also sold on "swaddling" and thought that it couldn't hurt to send her sister a swaddle blanket along with the book. She got right to work and placed an order on amazon.com, sending Diana the book and the swaddle and for good measure she ordered a package of chocolate. "Chocolate always makes me feel better when my baby is fussing," she explained matter-of-factly over the phone the other night.

She was quite disappointed to learn that even though she had paid for expedited delivery last Saturday, the parcel was not due to arrive until this Saturday. (according to the tracking link she checked yesterday, Tuesday) "I can't believe it takes a whole week to send something priority," she lamented

But a UPS parcel arrived TODAY (Wednesday). And Diana was excited for the surprise. It was delivered by not one, but TWO UPS delivery men and the box was biG so for sure it was just what we'd all been waiting for.

Totally faked out! The "parcel" contained the tiny bag of chocolate with the other items "to follow". I guess someone forgot to mention the theory of excess packaging to the guys at amazon and UPS. They'll need a truck to deliver the book and blanket. That's probably why it's not coming until Saturday! haha
