Not really a deal, but I found the deal through this thread so ... I've been tracking my new 32" LCD tv through UPS this week and got this update under my tracking information:

THIS DELIVERY COULD NOT BE MADE, THE RECEIVER IS DECEASED

I called UPS and told them that I'm not dead and the woman told me that they deliver to addresses, not people. Obviously this doesn't make any sense. Has anybody ever heard of anything like this happening? It pisses me off because crappy weather in Washington State has already delayed my tv, now apparently I'm dead?

Check it out: (as of 8:30 p.m. PST)

lol! You seem pretty alert for a dead guy.

Seriously though, I've never seen anything like that before. If they ship to addresses and not people, then your "death" should be irrelevant!

I hope you get it straightened out. So crazy. >_
 
ROFL, are you posting from heaven or hell?

So UPS customer service didnt even explain to you why your tracking info said "THE RECEIVER IS DECEASED"??

No, the woman thought it was funny and was suprised why I wasn't more upset. I guess I was too shocked to be upset.

EDIT: Insert the word "dead" instead of "shocked" in the previous sentence.
 
Holy Crap.

I clicked the link and saw the UPS thing. Then I saw that it was to Bellingham. I had just gotten a package from UPS last night and it looked almost the same, thought it was happening to me.

Anyway, I advise calling again and explaining just what is going wrong.

By "looking just the same" you mean with the weather or the death? :)

Neither actually, but it had the same format for the previous stops. And the ending stop of course ;).

They actually delivered it around 8 at night last night; really surprised me.
 
Glad you're not dead, even though UPS thinks you are. Perhaps it's a case of mistaken identity? Maybe one of your neighbors passed away recently and they got you confused?

From time to time my health insurance sends me a letter asking if I've gotten married recently (Um, no) and if I need to change my name and address...but they've always assumed I was still alive. I called after the last one came and they told me it was probably automatically sent out because another subscriber with the same full name or one with a similar first name, same last name got married. I just send it back indicating that no, I did not get married and everything is peachy.
 
[quote name='thorbahn3']Maybe by "DECEASED" they meant the address no longer exists.[/quote]

No, they mean deceased. I talked the the woman on the phone about it.
 
UPS pulled some crap like this a couple years ago. A buddy of mine bought me an Xbox for Christmas(what can I say, I have good friends) and friggin UPS wouldn't deliver it because they said my address didn't exist. I lived in a brand new apartment complex so I thought that it just wasn't in Mapquest or something. No, they knew where my complex was but they said I didn't have a valid address. I took a picture of my door and emailed it to customer service but they still sent it back to California. Needless to say, I was pretty pissed.

Also, can I have your TV, since you're dead and all?[/QUOTE]


No, because you will never get an HDTV.
 
Call and explain that your not in the land of the lying Rabbits and you are alive and etc etc made the package out to you. Again they should deliver.
 
Wow, at Bellingham. How many feet of snow did you get in past couple of days. My local news said you got 7 below after wind chill.

It was moderate down here...only 2 inches.
 
Sue the brown bastards. It caused you a mental breakdown thinking you died.

That tracking is really creepy though. I'm never tracking a package again.

i 2nd this ^^^^^^
 
I think your UPS delivery man is lazy. The night before it says advise weather will deliver another day. Then the next day your dead. Did the weather kill you?

I was a driver for a few I bet the driver hit the wrong button on the Diad and oops your dead. There like 40 reason that you can not deliver to some one and it was prolly the reason next to it.
 
I work for UPS currently and there are two reasons that this may have happened. The first is that the driver may have delivered to the wrong address and whoever lived in that location is no more. This may have happened while trying to deliver to the address and maybe a next door neighbor told him that the person had passed away. The second reason this may have happened could be that the driver was lazy and did not deliver (less likely) because he had to punch that message into his DIAD board. In any case I will call for you and have it delivered when I get to my office. I will call an OMS out of you center and get it to you.

Hmm, wait a second... Maybe we're all deceased. :whistle2:k[/quote]

Word. I'd hate to be like Cartman and not have any Wii when I get to the future/afterlife.
