I was expecting my order from Plant Delights today (rec. a tracking # regarding it). It was coming through the dreaded (in my opinion) FedEx Ground del.
Around 5 pm, I got to wondering about it and if it had come. I looked out the front door, hoping and expecting the box to be there and it wasn't.
Then, I glanced down our front steps that go down to our driveway and saw something white down toward the bottom of the steps. Even though I only had socks on (the concert was dry enough from all the rain we had), decided to check it out. I was aggravated to see that not only it was the PD box, but they stood it on its end vertically!
When I placed the order, as I do with all my orders, I add to the 'comments' section... to leave at front door only! I don't like FedEx Ground, because they're so LAZY and don't want to walk up the steps to the front door!
In fact, they're the reason I always add that when I place an order. Ever since FE-G started years ago, I've had so many problems with boxes being left at the bottom of our steps!
The plants seemed to be ok when I got them out and as I was watering them on our covered porch, the rain started again. Good thing I got them off the steps when I did.
Yesterday, while I was weeding out front, I thought that was the delivery day for the box and kept an eye out for the truck, but when it got late and dark, I realized it was the wrong day. Too bad, too.
I'll let you know how the GC plants are when they arrive May 1 on Tuesday. They were shipped out on Thursday. Hopefully, the FE-G person doesn't leave them at the bottom of the steps!
Here's the front porch and the steps leading down to the driveway. I took these pics in late March this year...
