··Steve @ ΩFSome winters you have to host some very annoyed and impatient Wildlife
UPDATES:
FRIDAY
Tony Orlando, FedEx Brokerage:
Sir I realize this is a major inconvenience, but I need you to fill out this form for customs.
and mail it back to us.
But you already have this information?
Yes Sir, but we need it for Customs.
Who reviews the information for Customs?
I do Sir.
But, like I said, you already have the information and it is just my social security number and address?
Yes Sir.
SATURDAY
Chris at FedEx Brokerage:
Sir I can send you a writable PDF that you can email back to me, how would that be?
Boy Chris, that would be great.
Mr. Roman, I received the form with your SS number and everything is fine now, you can get you package on Monday
Thanks Chris, you guys are the best.
SATURDAY Afternoon. Memphis:
Package Cleared for Monday Delivery.
No movement Saturday night.
SUNDAY , package still cleared
Sunday night, no movement.
Monday Morning
Package in Memphis
Consuela, 1800 GO FEDEX
Yes sir, you package is in Customs.
No, Customs released it 48 hours ago.
Yes, Sir it is on its way to you.
No it is sitting in Memphis.
Well, they don't work on the weekend>
Really? I don't believe that is true, I have had many packages and they move right through the weekend.
Well Sir you your package will come tomorrow.
Would you like to escalate your call to a higher authority?
Yes, Thank you very much.
Central American Call Center,
This is "Brian"
How can I help you Sir
Hi Brian, I am trying to get my packaged delivered today.
Let me check Sir
...................Oh Sir this is very bad.
What now?
Well it says here you discussed your incoming package with
a Dr. LouS, is that true?
Well yes, but what does that have to do with anything.
And you showed him picture of this "Steel Watch" too, is that correct?
Yes but,
Oh, Sir, this must be the reason for the delay, the workers, they will not touch a LouS Jinx contaminated package. We have to get a Supervisor to put it on the plane.
Can't you put on another plane, I understand you even have same day delivery to my area.
No Sir , we just can not do that.
But I tell what I am going to do. I am going to personally check on the progress of you package all day and send you updates when we move it. This would be very nice, Si?
Hey, thanks Brian you guys are the best.
Monday FedEx Ohio Center
Hi, can you tell me where my package is?
Well Sir, it says it is Memphis.
Yes, I know that but it supposed to be with me.
Well Sir it was just released.
No it was release two days ago.
Well Sir, I'm I am sure you will get it tomorrow.
Monday night, Fedex Ohio Center.
Krissy,
Sir, Guess what?, you package is in Wichita Kansas.
Kansas? what is it doing there?
Sir it was what we call "misdirected"
But you folks have been telling me it is in Customs
Sir, Sometimes "Customs" is just what we say when we don't really know where your package is.
But don't worry, it is going back to Memphis and you will get it tomorrow.
Thanks Krissy, you guys are the best.
Eventually:
Hallelujah!!
Arrival : Omega Museum Edition, 1945 Re-edition Officers Chronograph.
Caliber: 3200
Base Movement: Piguet 1285
Power Reserve: 55 Hours
Jewels: 25 Jewels
Description: Manual Winding Column-Wheel Chronograph, Free Sprung Balance .
This is to be a fun, "wearing" piece, not collectors item.
BTW, Both Mike and Achim have originals of this watch
I have it on a Jurgens pilot band, I think it more appropriate and a better color than the Omega Crocodile.
