So..I get an email from QVC stating that my order has been shipped. While I am an occasional QVC customer, I have absolutely no recollection of a recent order. Days later I check the UPS tracking and it says the order weighs 12 pounds. Still, I cannot fathom what I may have coming. On the delivery date I go to the mail receiving place I use for receiving packages to find a very large box and a smaller one. It turns out that while blacked out I called QVC and ordered a carpet cleaner! The 12 pounds posted by UPS was only for the detergent in the small box. So here I was faced with a big box containing the carpet cleaning machine and the smaller box. I don’t own a car. Fortunately this mailbox place was 4 blocks from my home, I had to go home and get my luggage carrier to wheel the boxes home. Though I had been thinking about buying one, I don’t recall ordering this item, so it was like Christmas since it is something I always wanted, I don’t regret the purchase. I do wonder about the blackout conversation with QVC.
On thing I ‘d like to add is that if you’re considering something, once you get very drunk, it’s very likely you will do it. Knowing this about myself, I try to avoid things that make me do drunken impulse things while drunk, like not watching home shopping channels and not keeping restaurant take out menus around which make me place black-out orders, pick it up and eat it with no memory of enjoying the meal, but having the charge on my credit card.
