These past few days have been quiet. We ordered a few things from Amazon so we've been hanging around the rig waiting for deliveries. Sometimes they come to our site and sometimes they get sent back as undeliverable. We'll get this delivery stuff figured out and then it will be time to move to our next campground and start over. We've ordered a bike rack for the back of the rig (that was returned undeliverable), we ordered a bike rack cover (received that), ordered 7 ink cartridges (received 5, the other 2 were returned as undeliverable), ordered a refrigerator fan and a sewer hose support (received that) Everything was ordered with the same address, so this makes no sense to us. The people at the Post Office are extremely nice but there is nothing they can do when Amazon uses UPS and then UPS delivers to the local post office. We are addressing things directly to our site but if it goes to the post office it needs to be sent to our names c/o general delivery. And we never seem to know which way Amazon is going to ship it.
There is a definite learning curve in becoming full-timers and we're still at the bottom but moving up quickly (we hope).
Congratulations on your new blog! I see you survived boot camp. When we went we decided early on we were bringing our own chairs . We'll check in from time to time and see how you are doing and whether it looks like our paths may cross again. Travel safely.

We usually send the package to us c/o the RV park with our site number on it. We haven't had any problem. Sometimes it gets delivered directly to our RV & sometimes to the office but so far so goood.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roger and Vicki. We did put the RV Park on it with our site number the problem was that Amazon ships UPS which sometimes delivers to the RV park and sometimes to the local post office. We rec'd one package directly to our site, two packages at the check-in office and then the other two were sent back undeliverable. Next time we will put the address of the RV park with our site number and in comments let them know if they deliver to the local post office have it put in general delivery with our names on it. I think it's more an escapee problem than anything else - they want everyone to use their mail service. We're going to Louisiana for the next six weeks (3 parks) and I'm sure we'll be fine down there. Thanks for all your help - Happy Travels!
