Saturday night, a couple changed their minds and decided to join us for Christmas dinner at our place. I told them that I had to check to see if I could let more from Allen Brothers first. or I wouldn’t have enough quail. Early Sunday morning I went to Allen Brothers website and sure enough it showed that I could get the additional quail delivered on the 24th. I ordered and paid the $50 next day air delivery...UPS by the way. The shipment never arrived. luckily the other couple made other plans after I told them the dilemma. Today, I left a note on the front door to reject the delivery and return to sender. the dry ice will have already melted Tuesday night and today the food will be spoiling. In part, I blame Allen brothers for guaranteeing what they could not and in part, UPS for mis-routing the parcel. the food cannot be recovered and while not angry. I hope that Allen brothers will make some sort of concession for the $200 loss to me. It happens. I’m thankful for Jesus. The plans of men fail. but Jesus endures.
Between the vendor and the shipping company, the concession should be $200.
