I saw the UPS truck go down my street as I waited for my kindergartner to
arrive, "oh good" I thought "my 6444s are here". I go home and sure enough • a
package is waiting for me. I pick it up, "awful light, must be another box
coming tomorrow." But no, the label says "1 of 1". "Odd" I think. So, I • open
it.  Here comes the sad part. Inside the box is.. (wipe away tears, sniff,
sniff)... 2 Star Trek dolls. Aaarrrggghhhh!!!

If it makes you feel any better, I can tell you what PROBABLY happened to
your box, as it would be quite a common occurance, especially for anyone
that ships in volume.

I'd imagine that at the same time you opened your box and were disappointed
by the "dolls" that the person who was expecting those dolls was looking at
a box of 10 Outback Airstrip sets and was just as confused as you.  Although
I've not done this with my lego auctions, when I used to work in a shipping
department this was a common occurance.

And the week they told you to wait would actually be sufficient time for
them to get the package back from the other person and reship it to you.
Assuming of course, that they don't hold onto the package like you plan on
doing!  (I'm sure that they are waiting for those dolls just like you are
waiting for your lego!)

I'm not saying that you should send them back though.  It would be nice if
they would just tell you the truth about what happened.  It goes alot
smoother and quicker, especially when you can get the people with the wrong
packages to just ship them to each other.  (this can be done at no expense
to either person using the company's UPS number and third party billing).

(...) Yeah, no doubt about it. At least that person will be able to get their dolls right away, since they are still in stock.(At this point, I can deal with not getting my Lego - barely ;-) it's the trouble of getting it all straight that I dread.
