So last Saturday I noticed I could do with some new boxer shorts. Now, I have Amazon Prime at the moment so decided to order a box of four, laze at home and get them the next day.
That didn't happen.
Turns out they were not eligible for Prime (although I could have sworn they were when I ordered). Consequently they were not dispatched until Monday, expected delivery of Wednesday - which worked out well as I was off work.
They didn't turn up Wednesday.
At this point I went on to my order and used the options to specify to leave the box round the back as I WOULD be at work for the next few days.
Yesterday I get an e-mail in the morning saying they are out for delivery. I return home and there is no sign of them, although there is still time for the delivery to be made. Just before the delivery deadline I got a notification on my phone saying the delivery has been delayed as my order has ended up at the wrong sorting depot!
This morning another "your order is out for delivery" e-mail. After work I return home and find no delivery has been made. An hour or so later I get an e-mail saying they tried but failed to make the delivery (and didn't leave it in the specified place because...?) and will now try again tomorrow.
I'm working again tomorrow. No doubt there will be another "out for delivery" e-mail, but will they turn up?
Find out the thrilling answer tomorrow!

Hmmm. Sound quite fancy then. Fancy pants. Fancy. Pants. I fear for their safety. Especially if they've got Pinky Pie on them. I, I'm sorry.

They, err, hu? They're lost? They've run out of petrol? They've run out of vans? They've run out of drivers?

They've run out of pants and have had to borrow Dave's?
I've been to Porthmadoc!

I fear the pants may be lost.
I do wonder what problem was encountered by the carrier though, we need details.

It's all a bit mysterious - "a problem" was as specific as it got. Maybe tomorrow?

THE PANTS ARE HERE!
Not sure when they arrived, but I went outside and there they were.
As a bonus they appear to be clean too.
