I ordered a package of let's say, "product," not too long ago and as always I left a note for UPS to leave it on the doorstep, which is under an overhang. But this time they left it just outside of the overhang. Well this is Florida and it's the rainy season so you can guess what happened next!! Yep! by the time I got out to retrieve the package the whole kit-and-caboodle was soaking wet cardboard! But fortunately the product comes in a fairly sturdy plastic bag which even more fortunately stood up to the wet treatment rendered to the outside carton.
I guess next time I have to spell it out and add to the please leave on doorstep, "but not out where it can get rained on!!!"
