Had a week where every package I ordered showed up broken or wrong

Last Tuesday, I ordered a new coffee grinder and it arrived with the lid cracked. Then Thursday, a book I'd been waiting on came but it was the wrong volume. Saturday topped it off when a replacement mug got here with the handle snapped off. Three orders, three failures, all in five days. I spent more time emailing customer service than actually enjoying my stuff. Anyone else ever get hit with a bad luck streak like that with deliveries?

I just read something the other day about how delivery hubs are getting slammed harder than ever and it's causing way more mistakes. "Three orders, three failures, all in five days" honestly sounds like you hit the perfect storm of bad luck. I heard a package handler talking about how they're forced to rush through like 400 boxes an hour now, so stuff gets tossed around and labels get mixed up constantly. That book being the wrong volume especially stings, I had that happen with a cookbook once and it took them a week to even reply to my email. At least you're not alone in this, it's wild how common it's getting lol.

I mean, "hit the perfect storm of bad luck" sounds a bit dramatic for some broken packages and a wrong book... It's annoying sure, but it's not like your whole week was ruined. A cracked lid and a mixup at the warehouse is more of a minor inconvenience than a full blown disaster.
