So, I go to the local Hastings (entertainment store) and see an interesting book called "Daily Sex." Looking through it, it has 365 different positions/things to try for every day of the year. It also has a little temperature gauge next to it for you to fill in, so you can remember whether the two of you liked that one or not. J. & I have daily sex already, so I thought this would be something fun for us. He agreed but said, "Hey, remember that Amazon.com gift certificate that your brother and his wife gave us for Christmas? Let's use that and order it off the Internet!" Great idea. So I thought.
We go home and I order "Daily Sex," but also place an order for "The (Illustrated) Story of O" (another one we wanted), but this one is through an independant seller. The NEXT DAY (God, I can be dumb, sometimes), I check our email just to read through the confirmation email and make sure everything's correct. Well, the last time we ordered anything off of Amazon was over a year ago and we have since moved. Our address is not correct. Shit.
Now, I'm picturing some old woman living at our old house, opening one of the packages and having a heart attack on the spot. Or, worse, the landlords (who we knew) getting the books.
So, we write a nice email to Amazon and to the independant seller. Amazon writes back and says, "How sad for you. You're fucked. But, in the event that the person sends your pornographic material back to us, we'll get it to you. If in 4 weeks, they've decided to keep it for their own devious pleasure, we'll refund your money. So sorry. Sucks to be you."
The independant seller sent us an email today saying that they had happily changed the address and "The Story of O" should be shipping shortly. Thank God. Now, we just have to worry about the tenants of our old house getting 1 of our sex books as opposed to both.
I told J. that at least we weren't ordering whips or cuffs or something from another site and had this mishap . . . at least it's only a book.
Anybody else ever have this happen? Theoretically, it shouldn't be, but it's kinda emabarrasing. Anyway, I had to share.
