Wow! Thanks for the help!

We have been having a lot of problems with our satellite box so we received a new one and were instructed to call FED Ex to pick up our old one. The following is the conversation between me and the Fed Ex Guy.

Fed Ex Guy: How can I help you today?

Me: I need to schedule a pick up time.

Fed Ex Guy: Okay, we will schedule you for tomorrow. If you have a pen ready I can give you your pick-up number.

Me: okay, just a minute. (frantically searching for a pen and paper.)
Me: Okay, got it.

Fed Ex Guy: Okay, ma'am your pick-up number is.... 5

Me: Is that all? (thinking that it sure was a good thing I got that pen and paper to write that one down!)

Fed Ex Guy: Yes ma'am, your pick-up number is 5.

Me: Is it like a confirmation number?

F.E. G. : No, ma'am it is your pick-up number.

Me: ummm... okay, what will I need it for?

F.E.G. : Your Pick-up, ma'am.


Oh, Gee....That clears everything up... thanks Fed Ex Man!

Got to love the fed ex guys. One time, they randomly left a package in my unlocked car. really. I guess maybe I didn't answer the door quick enough.

So did he come and pick up the package? That is too funny.

Unknown said...

yes, they picked up my package yesterday. Unfortunately I never had to use my Pick-up number, because I memorized it and everything!!!

That's really bizarre. I'm used to working with UPS, which has crazy long and complicated tracking numbers for their packages. I guess fed ex is more low tech.
