I love backcountry.com, but sometimes... they really screw things up. There are times they have not charged my card or shipped me two of an item, so I suppose I am due a negative effect of the fact they are run by a bunch of ski bums and granola munching climber hippies..
But after calling them three times trying to get them to deliver a set of bindings to the right address (really, three times, and I know I put the right address to start with, because other stuff showed up and it is saved on the website).. eventually a woman from UPS called me.
She said it looked like the package had been around the world and back. So I asked where they, this time, were trying to ship it to. This was the response:
Normy Norman
183 East College Ave
Woburn, Illinois
Yeah... I live at 183 College Ave in Somerville Ma, lived in Woburn Ma for a short while, and have spent a grand total of two days of my life in Illinois.
The best part is that every time I called them up I tried to get them to deliver the package to my work address, so I could sign for it. That address has absolutely nothing to do with any of the above. I suppose different shipping and billing addresses are just far to complicated when you are on your 5th dime bag break of the day.
