Luck, fate, dessssstiny? <br /><br />I am a modest collector of Lord of the Rings swords with a total of 3. So, I open my email last night and what do I find, but a note from a supplier that I had attempted to order some items from back in early December. In a nutshell, the sales with that company did not go so well as first they had incorrectly updated site info, then a stock issue, and then a misship after cancelling what I had placed, etc. However, they were always cordial and communicative and things worked out. (I also purchased my items from a different store.)<br /><br />So I open the email and see this...<br /><br />"Hey there Stuart! We had cancelled your order for the High Elven Sword. But, for some reason, the shipping company still sent it out. Once it arrives, all you need to do is refuse delivery. It was shipped via UPS. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. I didn’t charge anything to your account."<br /><br />Again, the order that was cancelled back in, oh, early December due to none being in stock! Needless to say, my initial reaction was to roll my eyes and wonder how this company has stayed in business if I'm any representation of their typical customer. Then I suddenly realized what they had shipped me... an item I had long since written off as to never enter my collection.<br /><br />And... and now I had a valid excuse for my wife when it shows up at the door tomorrow!<br /> "It wasn't MY fault honey, they shipped it to me by accident! I didn't order it."<br /><br />Some things you just can't mess with. Fate has played her hand and I am not one to mess with it. It was dessssstiny. <br /><br /> =D <br /><br />
